Trailer and source

The special controller that connects to the GBA port and wraps around the DS Lite

Quote

The game is played with one hand in the guitar grip, holding the DS sideways - Hotel Dusk- and Kawashima-Style. The non-touchscreen shows the usual GH-"music-highway” with the indicators for the button-presses. Strumming is done with a pick (seems like it comes bundled) on the touchscreen. The gameplay itself seems absolutely the same as previous Guitar Hero iterations. You perform perfect note-strings, gain multipliers, gain star power, use star power and feel pretty damn cool.

Hand Hero 3

It doesn't look nearly as retarded as I thought it would. Still, I just don't see the point.

I bet it's hard to properly strum on the touch screen while pressing buttons and trying to see the upcoming notes.

i wonder how you avoid accidentally closing the damn thing when your Hand-Solo action gets intense.

You know I am curious about this...I think it could be really cool...and it could really suck.

It really depends on how much thought they put into the game...and so far I think it is fair to say it could go either way, but it is at least leaning to much cooler than anyone could have imagined.

Did you guys see the trailer at all? Its pretty self explanitory you slide you hand through the little hand strap and use four fingers on the four buttons sort of like a 4 button piano accordion. And you strum with a stylus shaped like a guitar pick. The only retarded thing I saw was that sometimes your virtual guitar goes on fire and you have to blow the fire out with the microphone.

Use of DS microphone = instant fail.

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #7 on:** March 20, 2008, 01:37:36 PM »

The only other thing that fails is the battle mode is similar to GHIII which leaves a sour taste and apparently the burning guitar is only in the battle mode. I wonder if you yell into the mic to activate starpower.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #8 on:** March 20, 2008, 01:42:14 PM »

I seem to remember reading that you use it to activate star power, also a major problem for me.

Okay, see, it's this kind of potential that prods me to own a DS instead of a PSP. Well, that and slavish Nintendo devotion. But mostly, it's all about the imagination and untapped things.

More Guitar Hero:DS preview: http://checkoutblog.com/entries/2008/3/21/guitar_hero_on_tour_for_the_nintendo_ds.aspx

My main question is - will the guitar accessory fit into a normal DS?

I must be the only person in the world who didn't like Guitar Hero. I thought Rock Band was fun for a couple minutes, cuz I'm a drummer, but the demo drums at Best Buy were broken and it wasn't very fun for too long. Still this looks interesting...Wonder how they intend to release bonus song packs and stuff for it though.

Do you have something against fun? I would active my star power by screaming And theTrogdor comes in the NIIIGHT... !!!

How different do you think this experience will to be playing, say, a Scratch 'N Win pulltab?

No, you're not. I hate Guitar Hero with a passion.

Mario · « **Reply #15 on:** March 22, 2008, 09:46:28 PM »

Me too.

For once i'm happy to be a DS Hevy owner.

RABicle · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2008, 12:27:25 AM »

Laughing so hard.

Also Mario earns the full fist by referring to the old DS as DS Hevy. DS Phat sounds stupid and retarded.

ReverendNoahWhateley · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2008, 04:57:16 PM »

DS Phat, aka, DS In Effect, DS Too Legit, and DS WORD! (to your mother).

darknight06 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 27, 2008, 08:39:10 PM »

Hate it all day long if you want, it's a music game other than EBA on the go. Will buy first day pending the review of it's songlist.

Mario · « **Reply #19 on:** March 30, 2008, 12:08:13 AM »

It's not a music game, it's a rhythm game. Jam Sessions and Electroplankton are music games.

decoyman · « **Reply #20 on:** April 03, 2008, 03:00:13 PM »

Weird thing... my estranged? wife just finished the French translation for the case of the game. She got it through an agency that does a lot of video game stuff. Kinda cool.

darknight06 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 09, 2008, 08:12:41 PM »

Oh man, there will be a Nintendo official DS Lite plus Guitar Hero bundle coming out this summer alongside the stand alone title. DS just sold another 5 million units.
