The 1-Upper: Flute Hero

POSTED: Wednesday, November 28, 2007, 1:22 AM

Ready, set, blow

I've never played any of the Guitar Hero games, and even though I'm sure I'd be terrible at it (I tried the real guitar and the resulting sound was as melodious as, say, a pack of screaming babies) I still want to get it. The ridiculous price tag is what's keeping me from any rocking, so luckily I can bide my time with Flute Hero. The game works the same as the Guitar Hero games in that buttons that correspond with certain notes - in this case the number keys. In Flute Hero, there are 10, which makes it ridiculous, and I'm hoping the developer was kidding when they suggest that you hold your keyboard in the traditional flautist position. Of the four difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard, and insane) I did nothing less than horrible on the easiest. I suppose that makes me a flute loser, but, hey, at least it wasn't the piccolo, the dorkiest of all woodwinds (sorry piccolo players). I do have to point out that the game does have a volume knob that goes up to 11, a nice touch. Go play it here, but be forewarned, there is a cuss word used in the countdown to the game starting, so it's midly NSFW.

Guitar Hero is by far my favorite game! It's way better then dance dance revolution or pump it..

Are you able to play in expert difficult? 

Imagine doing 100% in that difficult.. Sounds impossible right? haha

have you seen this video?

This guy managed to achieve that score.. That's insane!

I bet he is a professional real guitar player...
