from www.amazon.com
not only are the wii games fun and interactive (our whole family plays now), but i love the virtual console aspect of it as well which allows me to go "retro" now and again and play some of my favs
from www.amazon.com
it's the handheld controllers that gives the wii the interactive experience that makes playing games on the system so fun.
from www.amazon.com
the interactive nature of video games open up many wonderful possibilities for the chance for true art to emerge.
from www.amazon.com
as you have heard the interactive controls are the best thing about the new wii, that and the fact that it is the cheapest platform out there.
from www.amazon.com
the graphics are not what you would find in xbox or ps3 but the interactive capabilities and game play far out weigh any perceived graphics deficiencies.

Nintendo DS Lite Silver Console

i got the guitar hero game for the fun of it and it is also a fun game.
from www.amazon.com
my six-year old loves it and we got guitar hero shortly after we purchased the system so the adults in our house enjoy it too!!
from www.amazon.com
i used to be a huge fan of nintendo and sega back in the mid-90's but ever since 3-d interactive environments came to be i think gaming quality has suffered from poor camera angles, complex controls,
from www.amazon.com
it's a lot more interactive and i can play with my kids at the same time.

Nintendo DSi Matte Blue Console

$225.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's very interactive, which did a lot to assuage my fear that she would be disappearing into a mindless video game.
from www.amazon.com
i have to warn parents looking into this system that there is no slot for game boy advance (gba, for short) or the guitar hero interface.
from www.amazon.com
personally, i don't play any gba games...i can't use my guitar hero game on the dsi but i have an old ds that still works.
from www.amazon.com
unfamiliarity with the ds lite, not knowing what will come out of dsiware, and the fact that games like geometry wars become more uncomfortable and the guitar hero games can't even be played on it.
from www.amazon.com
-the lack of a gba slot means you can't play gba games, use some of the ds lite's accessories (such as a rumble pack) and makes some games like guitar hero world tour virtually unplayable

this console still has games coming out for it like rock band 1&2, guitar hero 3&4, but they're not all that great because the lack of online play and downloadable content.

it:?great graphics, good controller, huge hdd what's not so great:?you might skip school/work cuz its so fun ;p "great if your getting into a game that has a lot of dlc (rock band and guitar hero).
from www.bestbuy.com
it has great games assasins creed, halo 3 ,guitar hero, rock band, call of duty.
from www.bestbuy.com
bunch of games to choose from recommend call of duty 4, guitar hero 3,halo 3.it never freezes up games look awesome on it.
from www.bestbuy.com
based on that, xbox 360 has much better games than all the rest.i just can't stop playing guitar hero ii and gears of war on my 360.
from theradialangel, reviews.cnet.com
bioshock, halo 3, mass effect, fable 2's guaranteed stardom, forza 2, pgr4, skate, guitar hero 2, gears of war, and the upcoming halo wars give a lot of healthy reasons for buying an xbox 360.

i have owned a ps2 since christmas and love my guitar hero and figured that the ps3 would play gh even better.
from www.amazon.com
wii is much more group and people interactive; much like a board game.
from www.amazon.com
there is also no acceptable interface for my guitar hero controller and you will have to use your ps2 or wait for guitar hero 3 to come out on the ps3 with a new set of controllers.

all the ds titles will play in this, even guitar hero with the adapter, so you won't be losing on any gaming goodness that nintendo has to offer now, and down the road with future title releases.

i just think that since sony knows that you need extra usb ports to play other games such as rock band and guitar hero they could at least give you 4 ports instead of 2.
