A strange love-hate relationship of pain

Preface: Please think not Thanks to this review that I do not like the GH series. Quite the contrary: I play for a long time and - if possible - each new part of the serene strings-destruction, also.

Now, however, a very big BUT: Do you really squeeze a series obsessively on a format that almost canceled the really the whole purpose of an idea? To pound the keys feel before the TV but is just the spark of feeling that made GH flourish former so.

There thus somewhat atypical (for a DS game) games package lay on the table. Since I still have an old DS-brick, was first replaced GBA Adapter announced. The screws are fortunately firmly anchored to the handle assembly, which is why even craft-phobics might splurge with a sense of achievement. So, you have therefore thought of everything. So memory card in the good old DS and here you go.

Easier said than done. So a grizzled DS weighs a fair amount. Good thing I -händen can compensate (through various music games) again with fairly well-trained gamblers and poor. I'm not a man petite stature - thus I reached the next problem or it reached me: My hand. This is large and the small buttons on the side. In addition a bulky Oldie-DS and the low distance between green, red, yellow and blue. Actually, this issue does not need yet more text. The sole idea would have the reader of this review rich. Well, even I was certainly optimistic. As a veteran professional course selected, the DS is connected to a decoder box (distributed by DSP at 5.1 boxes) and taken position.

Striking the touchpad worked fortunately almost without problems. Fast sites (a la Misirlou, Fire & Flames, etc) can be even easier to play, I think, since a smaller path leads to the same destination and no switch "in the way" is. Over time, however, there were more and more disruptive and I present now in chronological order in the form of my spontaneous ideas that surfaced repeatedly when playing:

- Ow, my hand!
- Why this stupid essay slipped ever !?
- And again 4x botched, because I wanted to activate Star Power ...
- Damned pale colors - I should have a DS Lite ...
- What are the please for inappropriate songs full chords?
- Ow, my hand !!
- Argh, this essay!
- Power chords, chords, Chords even more ... What again?
- I want my hyperspeed!
- Oh, Shredding (fast playing different notes), but how do I keep doing the shredding my DS?
- I hate you RH Chili Peppers, my hand hurts and I do not feel more.

- "I Know A Little", that this song shall be about the Grand Final? If the cover maybe the "you've been through tortured you and now the last epic song like Freebird comes in GH2" be final? After all Softie trash that you had to endure? DO YOU WANT ME pro - ??? (Comic beeps and black image)

To me (take me not bad) GH: OT as a casual gamers imitation ago, full of evil tricks. That tells me, for example, the tracklist, which can hardly enhance with distinctive songs. But one assumes instead added the Hotel friends from the east, so that some girls might sometimes GH play and not spend so much time in the imaginary animal practice or in the virtual touchpad petting zoo. Why integrating actually so many songs with chords? Because maybe "Mr. Fret-Orange" (missing 5. button - see guitar) is no longer present? Is that compensate somewhat, because you no longer have to slip a hand? Every now and then a chord orchestra is quite nice, but please do not tons of songs that shine with no fun solo, such as the tropical rain showers in the memory card Liederkiste. So no real rock mood will be with me somehow adjust despite 5.1 boxes. Nice are many songs that I would never doubt. Kiss - a classic, no doubt, clearly, even our Ozzy is on board in the handbag format. And then still "ZZ Top" with "La Grange" ... For me stupidly not a good omen, since the series is probably already arrived at Song-Recycling. A real shame.

Conclusion: I want this - quite successful - (at least the technical aspect) make implementation not bad or lace antipathy, no. On Easy to focus and with hands spinning the game may well be quite fun. But if you have already played so many Guitar Hero and was allowed to watch with tears of joy, the result screens from eg Jordan and Raining Blood (professional / expert), then you realize what
Nervous breakdowns and swollen upper arms were good. The horny feeling from the sound of the guitar to have been hooked. But please do not unmotivierendes arthritis promoting fumbling in miniature more. The little brother is just small and will always have to look up. I speak my mind of my views and experiences, which is why what is said should be considered aloof. But may be seen one or the other in back.
I also came to the game on a DS Lite to play, but many negative aspects do not change. Only the screens are clear to some, but this hardly helps, since apparently still no hyperspeed code was discovered (probably there is not even a). Oddly shaking the grip even more in the GBA slot, which may well trigger an unwanted match being abandoned. Something's just stupid. Or were you ever stumbled while gambling front of the TV over the power cord of your Playstation or XBOX and everything was in vain? Just.
The guitar battle against the CPU opponent should at least be mentioned, but I find this alternative not just motivating despite freischaltbarem bonus song. Generally, some lack Shop Items and also in other areas. The scaled-down price of 30 euros is accordingly appropriate and justifiable. From 40-50 I would me as not so sure, despite hardware.

So there I scarce 4 star rating by the "objective" display. But only very brief four. The sword is double-edged me here almost "to". Various problematic factors now overshadowing the once dominant anticipation of a mobile GH. As I whistle but to "NO STAIRWAY" and drag prefer TV, Playstation and guitar through the area in order to properly rock out.

Keep on rockin 'or rollin'
