I thought this was going to be easier for us to use (an alternative to the guitar for Guitar Hero). The songs looked more my style and more appropriate for my kids (12, 9, and 7). However, the pause/home button is just in the worst spot possible, every note my son hit he was pausing the game and he's finished the easy level on GH. I realize I could just be spastic, but the grip was very uncomfortable for me to hold on to and changing notes was a lesson in futility unless I stared at my fingers.

The "easy" setting jumped right into using 3 keys rather than warming up with just two like GH does. There was only one song to play initially, you have to unlock all the rest, and when my husband did finish the first song, he unlocked a new tour vehicle, but no new song. Very boring, and annoying if you don't like that song (which I wasn't really into). I intend to return this, or resell it if I can't. There's a bunch of other games my family can play that will actually be fun.

"Pop Star Guitar" is a fun and easy game that game players will enjoy. The "Guitar Hero" series of games has made guitar and music related video games rise in popularity. "Pop Star Guitar" is a reasonable and easy to learn guitar game. People who purchase the game do not have to worry about purchasing a separate guitar related accessory. The game comes with two clip on Air G snap on skins that easily fit on top of the Wii remotes. The fact that two of the snap on skins are included are great for game players who would like to play with one of their friends.

"Pop Star Guitar" features over 50 pop hits. The game play is not difficult to get started. Upon loading the game into the Nintendo Wii system users will be given the option to create their own band. The bands can be customized by gender and the game player can also choose new names for the band members. After the band is formed the game player is taken to a staging area that features options such as studio, cash book, magazine, game options, and rehearsal among other options. New players may want to start with the rehearsal screen. Rehearsing can give the game player a chance to get familiar with the game play. When the music begins the game player will have to immerse themselves into the game play. Dots fall down on the left side of the screen. The colored dots are to be coordinated pressed with the colored buttons on the Air G snap on featured on the Nintendo Wii remote. As the music plays the game player must hit the right colored button at the right time.

The goal of the game is to create your ultimate customized band. Players can virtually do anything that they want to with their bands. They can take their band on tour, style them for magazine covers and book them for studio time. "Pop Star Guitar" is a really fun introductory music game for the Nintendo Wii player. This game will be fun for mature children who are interested in playing a sim style type of game and for pre-teens and adolescents who love music. The soundtrack for "Pop Star Guitar" features hit songs from Rihanna, Fall Out Boy, All American Rejects, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus, 3 Doors Down, Simple Plan, and Panic at the Disco among other top groups. "Pop Star Guitar" is a fun game that is almost never ending in a sense as you can continue to take your band farther and farther and if you get tired of that band you can always create another band and start all over again. "Pop Star Guitar" Nintendo Wii version is highly recommended.

"Pop Star Guitar" by Nintendo Wii is rated T for Teens.

I read all of the reviews for this, but decided to go ahead and buy it anyway. (It was only $1.95) I wanted a guitar game but like a lot of people, can't afford the price tag on guitar hero. This game was nothing like they said. It took 3 tries for me to figure it out and I've already unlocked tons of songs. It's not as hard as everyone says, you just have to read the manual to see what you need to do. I recommend this to anyone.
The only problem is the menu selection. You can't just point with the Wii Remote. You have to toggle with the nunchuck. It takes time and can be irritating. But overall I suggest getting this game!!

I was reading the other reviews of this game. I liked it a lot. For those of us who cant plunk down 90 bucks for guitar hero this is a fun game with enough challange but isnt too hard. I tend to get kinda bored with video games but I found myself still playing this one 45 minutes later. Yes it makes your hand cramp a little, exactly like trying to play a guitar, if youve ever tried that, and you have to stretch your fingers and pay attention to where they are, but atleast you dont get gouges or calluses like with a real guitar and for those of us who are never going to be *your favorite guitar player here* its fun, builds up similar skills and doesnt take up as much room in the closet when the strings break and you cant justify getting new ones cause you just dont play it that much.

While guitar hero still is the best. This still has a great line up and still is fun. Grips are a little hard to get use to and little more spread out but still a great value.

We got this game as an alternative to the hard rock/metal in Guitar Hero. It looked great in the previews, unfortunately it didn't translate well into play. Long story short, I took it back for a full refund. The Air G is super uncomfortable, the game has no "no fail" option so if you are beginning, you lose immediately and have to stick to the same song over and over. The Air G does not work properly when you try to hit the notes because A) it cramps your hands and B) it just doesn't hit the notes properly. Believe me we tried, 2 adults with Guitar Hero experience and 2 kids and neither of us enjoyed the game after 2 days of play, my kids wanted to throw it in the trash. Took it back for a refund. Hopefully Guitar Hero and Rock band will release more kid/tween friendly music later on, but trust me, skip this one or you will be very frustrated and sorry you blew $60!

I bought this for my Grandson age 11. He did not have as much fun with it as I did. The songs are not very interesting but the game is a hit during family game night

I bought this game for my niece and I to play thinking it would be kind of similarish to GH. BUt can i tell you i was wrong. After playing one song with her my hand was cramping so bad I couldnt play another game.

It's not worth the $5 I paid for it. The controls attach to the front of the Wii remote but they do not hit the buttons squarely. Therefore, the controls are not responsive enough to play the game, which I found boring.

My air guitar grips were not included. I wouldn't buy again. I asked for them to send the air guitar grips, but they want me to return the game and buy again. I don't feel like I should go through all of that trouble. They just need to send what I paid for.


By the way.....The game looks very fun but I don't want to play it without the grips
