New Playable Character Calista Valenz Calista Valenz is tough as nails and sweet like candy, with a smile that can melt any man’s heart. Her motto is, "Fake it until you make it," and she has a habit of telling strangers today is her birthday. Calista once volunteered to spend a week in jail for charity and was put behind bars on a Monday, got bored, and somehow escaped that Tuesday. She spent a month running from the law, even though no one was looking, and hid out at a night club. The rocker pretended to be a lead guitarist, and during her first show, a record promoter told her she was a no talent hack. She smacked him upside the head with a sausage and dumped spaghetti down his pants, all with a smile. He stood up and immediately signed her to a lifetime contract.

This review is from: Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits (Video Game)

I was disappointed because every song I tried to play I failed, then I read the instructions DUH. Now I am having a blast with this game. My arm does cramp up, but I stop after a few songs, and that helped. I am learning more about the game, and gaining new fans. I am able to play songs at the medium level, and go up in flames on hard and get about 10% through on expert, its crazy fast. But I'm not a kid, so maybe teens and tweens will have no trouble. I do like playing this game, and just got Decades for more songs. It doesn't deserve the low review ratings IMO.
