Re: [Audyssey] guitar hero or guitar zero
Yeah, if you are referring to knowing how to play a song on a real guitar, it doesn't relate in guitar hero at all. you will definately need sighted assistance or a lot of patience to learn the patterns to the songs, and even with help, the solos for me at least are basically impossible. It can be played, but without sighted assistance, I for one don't have the time to put into it to make it worthwhile. I'd rather spend the time working on my real guitar skills, grin. It is a great game to have around for company and parties though.

Re: [Audyssey] guitar hero or guitar zero
Hi Liam, I actually got a chanse to demo Guitar Hero at Wal-Mart, and it seamed as though it might be pretty accessible. Once you get through the menus, select a song, etc it is pretty much up to you to press the right keys to reproduce the song. You get scored for how many correct chords and notes you get in the game. Seeing as it is pretty much sound based I think the menus and things like that are the only accessibility issues with it. Though I only played the demo at Wal-Mart they had setup in the game isle.

Re: [Audyssey] guitar hero or guitar zero
Hi, I have guitar hero for the Nintendo Wii, and it is pretty cool overall. Once you memorize the menus, you can navigate to the different areas you need, and you can select the song you want easily, as it plays the first part of each song as you navigate through the selections. You will probably need to have a sighted person help you memorize the sequences for each song though, at least that is what I had to do. Once you get in the rhythm of the song, especially the easy ones, it isn't that hard. Also, you can go into practice mode where you can slow the song down and practice it, which is quite helpful. For those of you wondering what the heck this game is, it comes with a 3/4 scale guitar that connects to your game console. The guitar has 5 buttons on the neck, and a bar that you strum on the body. Notes stream along the screen, color coded to the buttons on the neck of the guitar, and you have to press the correct button and strum at the exact right time for the note to register. Play enough notes in sequence correctly and you get bonus points, get too many wrong and the audience will boo you off the stage. The game comes with lots of songs from the seventies and eighties that will be familiar to any classic rock fan, along with some hits from the nineties. The game producers went back and found the original recordings and seperated the guitar tracks from the rest of the recordings, so if you play correctly everything sounds groovy, but mess up a note or two and it is quite noticeable. There is a similar game out there called Rock Band, where in addition to a guitar, you play drums, bass and have a singer on a wired microphone. My cousin has played this one and says it is a blast. I would give guitar hero a 7 out of 10 for accessibility, as you really can't wing it as the sighted can because you have to memorize the notes. All in all though, it is a lot of fun, and your friends and family will absolutely love it. Happy strumming, Che --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
