With more and more Guitar Hero games coming out with the recent release of number five has it stopped people from being free to learn an actual musical instruments?

Guitar Hero five has done very well for itself so far and could be set to top the records for the biggest selling one of the franchise yet. But what is the appeal of these games and why do people play them rather than take the time to learn the real instruments?

The timing it takes to learn a real instrument is a big reason why this game has been a success. The time it takes to learn an instrument is also key to the reason it has become a success. People lead busy lives and although playing Guitar Hero on expert takes a lot of time, you can just get home and jump into a couple of songs rather than spending hours to learn.

Guitar Hero itself was a huge success before MTV had even thought about Rock Band? By this stage Guitar Hero has already had more than three games out in that sector of the market.. Guitar Hero itself was a huge success before EA had even thought about Rock Band. If you are playing a real guitar then you are either very good or cannot play. With all of this in mind what is the big appeal? Playing Guitar Hero itself is a lot easier than learning how to play an instrument; you can set the difficulty level from beginner all the way up to expert so there is a skill level for everyone. However if you are playing a real guitar you are either good or bad.

It is not really cheaper in the long run as you are constantly paying out cash for the new games and instruments and what with the new DJ Hero as well as Band Hero on the way, is the company just taking the success for granted?

Surely DJ hero is not going to persuade people to turn off their {DJ lights} and trade in those DJ headphones just to play the game at all. Only time will tell.
