The Biasphere

I wholeheartedly agree with Tusserte in his review. Whoever thought of the idea to make a guitar-playing videogame is a genius, as it attracts those of you who have no musical talent whatsoever. And for those of you who DO have talent, it's still a mighty fun game to play. There are all kinds of cool classics, like the ones Tusserte mentioned. Most of the covers sounded pretty good, with some extra solos added in here and there as well. The main point of the game is to advance in Career mode: you start out as a small-time band at a small Midwest high school and as you complete more and more songs, you play at more packed venues as you work your way to Stonehenge. One of my favorite aspects of the game is actually the most uneventful: the loading screen is filled with funny quotes by the designers of the game, making jokes about songs, bassists, and of course, drummers. I actually found myself laughing out loud at some of the quotes. Of course, the game does get old after a while, and once you beat it on the highest difficulty, there's not much more you can do by yourself. While you can play multiplayer with friends (either versus or co-op), you cannot play head-to-head online, although you can compare scores with others and try to beat them. If you have enough cash (it costs ninety dollars) and are dedicated enough to practice (yes, practice at a videogame), then you'll love this game.
