I suppose i can see why they are dissin guitar hero. Guitar Hero is a simulator like no other in my opinion. ur holding a guitar shaped controler that requires u the "fret" and strum in time with the music ur playing. Call of Duty ur plaing with a keyboard and mouse. Like a lot of musicians, they not too keen on the idea of a load of 10 year olds or whatever thinking they're better than everyone else cause they can play Slayer or Dragon Force. because of this, some ppl can play GH more than the real guitar, as mentioned. I admit that it is a very distracting and fun game, but there are things such as setting limits, like a lot of things i suppose. I personally think that Guitar Hero is a great way to spread music, as it encourages the player to listen to music new to them carefully, like not hearing some new heavy metal band for 10 secs on the radio and goin "ah, metals all screamin". GH sure introduced me to a whole lot of good music, although i did like guitar music before that. I suppose u cud say that white and page are grumpy old men or whatever, but the idea of being exposed to new music by goin out to a record store or music bar seems a bit better than sittin inside starin at a tv screen, althought that is a minor point. So in short, they're right, to an extent lol
