I miss Guitar Hero. I miss the fun of creating your own digital band. It needs to be brought back; and it needs to have both single-player and multiplayer and include keyboard, drums, and singing.

I'm 36 years old and I would buy a new guitar hero with all the instruments in a heart beat if they camw out with a refresh non corporate greed version.

It's somewhat more complicated to setup but you can try Clone Hero. It's a PC rhythm game very similar to Guitar Hero but only supports guitars (and maybe drums now?). You also have to supply your own songs such is good and bad.

I miss it, too. I don't miss trying to find a place to store the hideous plastic toys in my nice but very small house. I would bet they could make a profit from just releasing the exact same first gen game on modern consoles with slightly updated guitar controllers. The drums and mic don't really need to change.

pay every time you play a song? wtf who would do that?

I wanted the keytar SO BAD. This is also why I'm desperately holding on to my Rock Band instruments; it's pretty much impossible to find replacements. Which sucks, because my drums are dying.
