Saw the video review of this on www.gamespot.com looks pretty awesome really but it's gonna cost quite alot thanks to that guitar controller. And i have plenty of my own REAL guitars to jam out on. Maybe someday down the line i will pick it up. Im busy waiting for "Black" and im also wanting to get "Burnout Revenge"

Looks kinda cool, but I bet that controller is expensive, and probably a pos.

Game comes with the guitar controller for about $70, which isn't too bad considering most new PS2 games are in the $35 to $50 range.

possibly. but i actually think it looks quite kick ass (the controller) . it is pretty much a mini guitar. bout half the size of your normal electric. It has 4 or 5 different coloured button on the fretboard that you press with your fretting hand according to the combinations the game tells you to play. it also has instead of strings a little flipper type thing where the pickups would be. you hit this much like you would hit a string. theres also a fully working whammy bar which works just like a whammy bar. I think it looks fucking AWESOME. but im waiting till the price drops before i shell out on this. I have my own guitars to play on. but the game does look great. graphically looks very pretty too. great effects and arenas . and the tunes are full of rocking vitality.
