The game itself is similar to guitar hero in the way as the color-coated buttons come down the screen. Thats about the only similarity. It is not an easy game to get used to, but it has great mixes which create a new experience of gameplay. The controller is new and similar to one turn table wheel, and is very durable. I enjoy this game a lot and the visual effects are stunning.
What's great about it: Game and Controller come ready to play in the box.
What's not so great: Game and Controller hard to get used to.
