 Fun Fun Fun, 2008-03-27
Plain fun. That's what this game is. It's got me hooked. Actually it's so addicting that every time my fiancée's home she insists on playing the game. But I was only positively absolutely sure this game's awesome when my mother, who uses the computer only for internet surfing and writing texts, enjoyed playing the game!!
However, I gave it a 4-star overall rating because there's still no new music to download for the pc version. Quite disappointing.

 Just as good as the real thing!, 2008-03-24
I don't own a PlayStation or an Xbox, and I really wasn't too interested in buying one. But I was hooked on Guitar Hero the very first time I played at a friend's house! There might be a skip or glitch here and there, but this will WELL satisfy your craving to play! Note for Mac users: This will not work on pre-Intel processors.

 Do not buy., 2008-03-19
Do not buy this product. First a computer with the optimal settings has problems running this, god forbid you even try to two guitars on the same computer, the gameplay lags randomly and messes up. Another issue that is not advertised is that Aspyr the company that makes it has quietly announced that it has no plans to make any downloadable content. So the box is literally lying to you. There will be no new content for this game

Awesome, just awesome... but..., 2008-03-03
my fingers hurt, as I am totally addicted!! From what I've seen of the game on a ps2, I can't think of anything that's missing on this one - except I'm not sure how to do hyperspeed, or if you can. However, the minimum computer requirements may not get it to run smoothly.
Mac compatibility review:
(both have Leopard and at least 30 gigs of free hard drive space)
MacBook Pro: 2.2 Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 gigs of memory, video card (GeForce 8600M GT) etc match the game requirements. Does not play smoothly. Lags, and the audio hiccups just enough to be annoying. Playable, but unhappily.
White Intel iMac 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo with 3 gigs of memory, minimum required video card(NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT) plays excellently, no lags, just perfect. Even can use crowd graphics, etc, and run it with programs like Photoshop running in the background.
I'm not sure if it is just the extra gig of memory making the difference, since the otherwise the specs are slightly better on the laptop, and the game says it only needs one gig of memory.
So I'm a happy customer, but only because my imac plays it smoothly. However, Considering the investment, I'm not sure it's not worth spending an extra $120 for a PS2 for portability, more accessories, other versions of the game, etc. You also have to have the CD in the computer you are playing on, which is annoying if you have two computers, or you are worried about durability moving it back and forth or with you if you have a laptop. Plus your progress is only saved on the computer you played on.
The online feature is great to play against other people, I have not tried battling someone using a keyboard, but it seems like it would take some of the fun out of it. The guitar has a nice long wire, so it being wired doesn't really bother me, especially since lots of people complain about the wireless guitars - however ascetically it's not my favorite style out there. The responsiveness seems really good though.
All in all great game, and I'm glad there is this version for the mac.

good but bad, 2008-02-12
this is the best game ever made! since i heard that it was out for pc so i got it. turns out that my computer wasn't good enough so i was mad because i had just wasted a lot of money. so i saw if i could return it. turns out that you can and returning it was probably just as easy as buying it all you had to do was to print out a couple things and it's gone and i got my money back.
so if you get it make sure it will work for your comp if not don't worry you can return it within 30 days of purchase
