It's not faking it like Guitar Hero was...you are actually playing. It's taking a teaching tool and turning it into a game of sorts. It grades you on your performance, shows you were you need help, etc. Xbox has a lot of non-game games. I am still looking to see if I can find the video I was watching on the Xbox online somewhere that has commentary from a gamer's perspective, a person learning how to play, and a professional musician. One of the ones I have been using is the Xbox Active2...it's a fitness "game", that takes you through a workout routine, complete with heart rate monitor that you strap to your forearm and the motions are "graded" via Kinect.

I mean, isn't the whole thrill of Guitar Hero that it makes us mere mortals get a sense of the rush that comes from playing a musical instrument? If yer already a musician who can experience that for real......why bother faking it? Maybe i'm missing something.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:336562 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
