What's the point of posting comments on the internet when you can be annoying in real life?

what's the point of playing "Skyrim" when you can't be a Thalmorian Dark Elf who can reanimate corpses in real life?

I'll admit to harbouring this attitude for a long time before trying the game out. Then I felt like an idiot because the game turned out to the be super fun and anyone who thinks that the game is any sort of replacement for the instrument is either really insecure or ignorant. Playing the game actually had a noticeable effect on the timing in my picking hand and the dexterity in my fretting hand as well.

The games also feature what is essentially a karaoke mode for vocalists and relatively novel way of presenting drum 'tab' (for lack of a better term).

Basically, don't knock it until you've tried it (on expert mode).

i've played it with a control-pad

it was ok

Then you played it wrong.
