We will rock you!
My mother-in-law got us Guitar Hero/world tour for Wii. This comes with guitar, drums, and a microphone. What an awesome family game. We have played the heck out of it since last Thursday.
I have absolutely no formal musical instrument background. I sang some in college and grew in the church choir. The wife has an amazing voice, graduated from a choral magnet high school, and worked in radio so knows music pretty well. This game kicks our ass. She tends to sing…and is horse the next day. I am trying to play guitar, and can’t get past the easy level.
Jack started out as the drummer of the family, and still does better on that than anyone else, but he’d rather sing. This constitutes him sitting the game for beginner and just making noises into the mic…which for some songs works really well.
Tony, at 13 months, won’t leave the drum sticks alone. No matter where we put them, he will find them and start beating them together.
The only creature in the house that hates this game is our cat. He will literally climb up you if your singing. The other night Sarah was sitting in the floor, singing, when the cat reached up and swatted at her face. Everyone’s a critic.
So, I recommend this game. Admittedly, I tried it at the store and wasn’t that impressed, but at home, with the whole family involved, it’s awesome…Just make sure you put the cat out of the room.

My boys saved up, traded in and got themselves an x-box with the Guitar Hero 3 game and guitar.
They haven’t left it alone. AND their music appreciation is now moving away from Kanye West to Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden and Slayer! … oh … maybe that’s not such a good thing … but definitely this series of games rocks.
Still. Do you close your eyes to sleep at night and see that endless stream of colored music coming at you? Or is that just me?
