Can't stop the rock
Ok, so I like to think of myself as a pretty dexterous person. I was pretty good when I played baseball, and I'm way into rock climbing, which required subtle hand work. When it's come to the guitar, I just have never been able to make it work. I actually own a stratocaster knock off, but it's been collecting dust for years in the corner of my apartment. Whenever I've tried to play, it really just winds up looking like I'm strangling an ostrich.
That said, I've shied away from the Guitar Hero franchise. I love music, but I've been terrified of looking like an ass in front of friends. So, high on the Flyers putting away the Capitals tonight (I hope Ovechkin knows the rules of golf! So long, caveman-looking jerk!) I retreated to my office to try my hand at Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe Three. After faring well after one song, I realized I am awful at anything music related, save for listening to it.
Much like Guitar Hero, you mash buttons corresponding to notes as they reach a certain point on screen. You get points for doing so and bonuses for linking a bunch in a row. I was never able to get past the "cool" level, so I can't tell you what comes next, sadly. One of the neat things about the game is that it features original music and links you to the band's site. It's not my type of music, kinda new metal-ish, but I suppose that's what's needed for rockin'.
Check it out here.
Hey. The levels after "cool" are i think "Crazy" and "Maniac"
I havn't played it in awhile so im not quite sure.
but it is a awesome game. =]
