Pro mode, maybe. But keep in mind that even with pro mode the feeling
isn't the same. I don't deny what you said about the game being
positive. But that wasn't the point of Charles's post. The general
sentiment is, playing real guitar / drums is a lot more fun than rock
band, and while I like both, I have to agree with him. I prefer my
trusty LTD electric guitar.

Ok, how about the pro mode feature? I'd say that's bridging the gap
between a gamer and a musician quite well. Even if playing real
instruments is more fun for you, what's wrong with also playing the
game? There are plenty of drummers/guitarists etc that play Rock
Band all the time. in fact, most people that can 100% the higher
tier songs on expert without even trying are real musicians. There
are also people that aren't musicians at all that come over and play
rock band, and when they started they had no idea what a harmony
was, their rhythm was completely off, and they were extremely
terrible at the game. now some of them can point out harmonies when
they hear one and can play on expert. so I think the game's
definitely having some positive effects on people and calling it
merely a game is a bit unfair.

Sorry Yohandi, but in terms of rhythm games, I'd have to agree with
Charles. Especially being a musician, it's much more appealing to
bust out my guitar, turn on the amp and just blast away. I can
improvize without being penalized, even... action games are
something completely different. Playing music in real life won't
get you charged for crime.

why play GTA, when you can actually steal cars and beat up people
in real life? Why play Mortal kombat? might as well do real
fatalities since that'll be way more realistic. oh and tank
commander? c'mon, use a real tank! much more fun that way

About a game like Guitar Hero, I ask: Why pretend when you can
do it for real? I would rather plug my electric guitar into my
amp, crank the volume up on my computer or stereo speakers, put
in a CD or tape, and play along with my favorites, or work on
learning a new one, or jam with other musicians than use something artificial.

Yeah but here's the thing. how will you know if you can play it
when you actually aren't even willing to try the game out? just
because a sighted person tells you so? I had sighted people
telling me oh you can't play rock band, so don't even bother
purchasing it. you gotta see the colored games. well, I'm
playing rock band. and to those asking how do I play it when I'm
blind, I won't even bother answering that question, mainly
because we've answered it plenty of times and it makes
absolutely no difference. Isn't it quite obvious that video
games have sound? do you guys somehow think that just cause it's
called a video game this means that it's video exclusive and a
totally muted gaming experience? *sigh*. someone mentioned they
don't play rock band because they're musicians. all I gotta say
to that is wow. I really hope you don't always have that outlook on life.

Hi Liam,
I totally agree. If I know there is a game out there that a
blind person can play that may indeed be intended for sighted
players, then I am willing to give it 100% concentration. Hell,
I would even go out and buy the console it was designed for,
just to play that game. But if you can't play it, because you
need a degree of sight, then what is the point in wasting
investments and time just to completely end up embarrassing
yourself with it because you can't play properly like your
sighted peers can? In my opinion that's just prejudice.
Regards,
Damien.
