This pop culture mainstream phenomenon of a game series has polluted the gaming community with hypocrites. Casual gamers who don't deserve to play games because they only like these games that make them look "cool."
What do I mean? Well, these guys will never play any other game as much or passionately as they do guitar hero. Especially, they won't pick up another rhythm game, the very genre they claim to love by playing GH for hours on end. These guys need to fess up to their hypocrisy and realize that GH is not much different than any other rhythm game, such as, hmmmm, I don't know, Dance Dance Revolution. Yes, GH is just about the same as DDR. Think about it for a minute and tell name me the differences between the two franchises.

Done? I can name three: GH uses a Guitar and DDR uses a dance pad, GH has one more button you need to press, GH has star power. Other than those, the gameplay is essentially the same, and I dare anyone to tell me different.
What's the point? I'm saying anyone who plays GH extensively who calls someone who plays DDR extensively a loser, no-life, geek is a big fat HYPOCRITE! when they are essentially the same game.
If your going to tell me, "No GH rocks 'cause of the guitar-- it's cooler than a dance pad!" Maybe, but take the peripherals out and what do you have? Just about the same game, and other rhythm games that don't incorporate peripherals are about the same too. Without the actual guitar GH isn't much different from the games Amplitude or Frequency, games that Harmonix, the creators behind the GH series, ALSO MADE!
Admit to your hypocrisy, pick up another rhythm game, or own at least six other games on the respective console you own a GH game on, then, and only then, you will be allowed to play GH without being glared at by me. (Not that it matters)
