So I’m just curious here, but I’ve just read about this thing call the MTV Rock Band Game… I’m not quite sure what that means, or how that plays out, but judging from i’ve read about the game, its not all that great really. I’ve tried playing the guitar, and hell, its not a question of pressing buttons at the right time, or anything as simple as that. Actually why the game has to have such an elaborate controller for what is essentially just an 8 button controller beats me. Perhaps the once more Fun is more important than reality, but i’m pretty sure with something like this, it shouldn’t be hard to make the experience a little more real, without loosing its quality. I mean quite frankly the system definitely has the potential to actually teach someone the instrument he’s playing.
Case in point being the drumming, though its a super simplified 4 drum kit, I think, from the looks of it you could really learn to play the drums on a kit like that… which is pretty cool. Perhaps a little more maturity in the guitar simulation is what I’m asking for. And why cant they make a title like this or in reality that can teach one to play the guitar, which by the way is a very technical thing, and varies with as much as a small change in the pressure you apply to the fret board, and whether or not you press the strings down straight… things like this are pretty crazy… specially on an electric guitar.
Still its a good start, so I’m hoping for something better, and perhaps a virtual tutorial isn’t that far away. Though if that’s to happen the current generation of music game peripherals are going to be woefully inadequate.
