One of the things we found out the hard way when we moved to Washington, is that there can be a lot of boring wait time hanging around waiting for the ferries. Between that, and the multiple plane trips back and forth between Texas, we realized really quickly that we needed toys! We already had Ipods, but I can only wear the headphones for so long. We ended up getting ourselves a couple of Nintendo DS's to waste the time away on. (which considering how much time we seem to spend at Urgent Care and doctor's appointments, they have come in real handy!)
Now my video gaming is a lot more sparse than my always glued to his toys DH (LOL), but I love my pink DS! I always carry it around in my purse. I pull it out when we're waiting, and just relax.
We love the Guitar Hero games in our family - so much so, we have several for the PS and the Wii. Now we've got them for the DS! Portable rock party in the psychotic household! Yeah baby! lol ;)
If you're familiar with the Guitar Hero games, you'll have no problems understanding how to use them for the DS. What's even cooler is that you can share the songs back and forth between two DS's! All you have to do is be in a wireless zone to enable this feature. You can also play in Faceoff mode where you can compete against each other playing the same song at the same time! Or you can play Co-Op mode, where one of you plays lead guitar, and the other plays rhythm or bass guitar. You can also play against characters built into the game if you're by yourself.
So in order to get coveted Star Power, you have to yell into your mic (well, they say you can blow into the mic too if you're supposed to be silent, but that's no fun!) Well, there's nothing like your DH screaming ROCK OUT into the mic at the top of his lungs. What's even funnier, was that I had him fit the game controller onto my pink DS to try it out first. LOL!
DH's verdict: Guitar Hero: Modern Hits is pretty awesome. Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades is just as awesome!
My verdict: Guitar Hero: Modern Hits and Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades are both fun and easy to play games. The ability to share games as well as play together makes it a great value to keep kids (and us adults as you can see, lol) entertained.
The games do warn you to take frequent breaks. Make sure that you or your kids do follow this advice (more so especially adults since our hands are a bit bigger) I did notice my hands aching a little more with the games because of the way you hold it versus other games.
Guitar Hero: Modern Hits and Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades games are rated E 10 and up. Guitar Hero: Modern Hits is $49.99 at Amazon, as well as your favorite store to buy games!
