Customer Reviews

Define 'Jam'..
I bought the game with the belief that you would be playing guitar along to recognisable music tracks as well as being able to create your own.
I was disappointed to find that the majority of song tracks were in Spanish, and of those that weren't, only a couple were recognisible.
Also I presumed there'd be a backing track to play along with, instead you're expected to play it solo, and this makes some of the tracks confusing as you're not always sure where you're meant to be in the tune.

When you play the tunes you're not graded on how well you've done, in fact you could make a complete mess of it and still get the 'congratulations' screen at the end.

There are many ways this could have been done better, and was a bit of a let down. I'll be trading it in soon.

Brilliant Fun
I cannot describe how much I love this game- it's like playing a real guitar added with the fact it trains on on the different strings. The main screen is the same as the stings on the guitar and the shoulder buttons are the cords- you can strum the 'screen' like a real guitar and change the tone/tune by using the cords (shoulder buttons and d-pad) it also sounds like a real guitar if you plug in a small speaker into the headphone jack - you might even want to try busking in the underground ! The Demo i played came pre-loaded with a bunch of tracks (real songs) so i had a crack at playing along to Bob Marely (No Woman No Cry)- it takes you step by step on how to play then it your turn which is great fun especially when you got a partner singing with you. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys there music and even for anyone who wants to learn to play a guitar by doesn't want to pay for expensive lessons.
