Hi, I have guitar hero for the Nintendo Wii, and it is pretty cool overall. Once you memorize the menus, you can navigate to the different areas you need, and you can select the song you want easily, as it plays the first part of each song as you navigate through the selections. You will probably need to have a sighted person help you memorize the sequences for each song though, at least that is what I had to do. Once you get in the rhythm of the song, especially the easy ones, it isn't that hard. Also, you can go into practice mode where you can slow the song down and practice it, which is quite helpful. For those of you wondering what the heck this game is, it comes with a 3/4 scale guitar that connects to your game console. The guitar has 5 buttons on the neck, and a bar that you strum on the body. Notes stream along the screen, color coded to the buttons on the neck of the guitar, and you have to press the correct button and strum at the exact right time for the note to register. Play enough notes in sequence correctly and you get bonus points, get too many wrong and the audience will boo you off the stage. The game comes with lots of songs from the seventies and eighties that will be familiar to any classic rock fan, along with some hits from the nineties. The game producers went back and found the original recordings and seperated the guitar tracks from the rest of the recordings, so if you play correctly everything sounds groovy, but mess up a note or two and it is quite noticeable. There is a similar game out there called Rock Band, where in addition to a guitar, you play drums, bass and have a singer on a wired microphone. My cousin has played this one and says it is a blast. I would give guitar hero a 7 out of 10 for accessibility, as you really can't wing it as the sighted can because you have to memorize the notes. All in all though, it is a lot of fun, and your friends and family will absolutely love it. Happy strumming, Che
