This was my introduction to music instrument games. For whatever reason, I mostly ignored the first two entries but got hooked to this game every since I tried a booth demo at a Toys R Us store. I purchased the game shortly thereafter and this became a staple party game during my college days so goes without saying that I have a lot of fun and crazy memories with the game.

I'm a big rock fan so the soundtrack was excellent and to my liking. Visuals were not the greatest in the Wii version but they were adequate and ultimately all that mattered were looking at the notes in the middle of the screen. Guitar controller was a bit cumbersome for the Wii version since you had to attach the wiimote to the guitar controller in order to use some of the features such as tilting the controller to activate the guitar power.

Unfortunately, I was not able to beat Through the Fire and the Flames in Expert, that would have been a really cool gaming 'career' goal to achieve (actually I don't think I was able to complete the song in Hard either haha).
