Carlucci Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 http://ds.ign.com/articles/860/860511p1.html There's a video there, where you can see the attachment periphal. I'm sure my kids will want to try this out, but I'm just not sure based on seeing the video. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 This is especially tacky after the Rhode Island fire: Or out-of-control pyrotechnics will be set ablaze, and players will have to blow them out using the Nintendo DS microphone. Please tell me I've been duped by an early April Fool's joke! Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, that does seem in pretty bad taste. Maybe you can also shout something at the screen to stop excited fans from crushing people in the front row.

EnemaEms Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I thought an Aerosmith themed Rock Band was terrible, but a Great White one? -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonner Cyn Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think it is legit. In the video I saw the guy blowing and was wondering what that was all about. Kind of a lame addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Picked it up this morning, and it's good. Only complaint so far is the attachment slips out too easily from the DS. More thoughts as I go along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 My buddy picked up the bundle. The DS is sweet. You have no idea how hard it is for me to not get another DS. Anyways, played a couple of songs and it plays pretty good. May end up picking up a a copy of the game. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnemaEms Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Heh. No. I really did not buy another DS. Hard to believe, I know. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Picked this up for my daughter over the weekend. She loves it but has the same complaint about the device popping out too easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 My boys bought this and they are liking it. I haven't yet given it a try. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MastaRedSnappa Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Picked this up for my daughter over the weekend. She loves it but has the same complaint about the device popping out too easily. Is she using it with the DS Lite? I'm just curious since I got to play with my nephew's GH game and it seemed really solidly connected with his regular DS (probably due to the full-depth GBA cartridge slot on the regular DS). Considering the game also comes bundled with the GH DS Lite, it seems kind of lame if the device popping out too easily problem is because of the shallower GBA cartrdige slot on the DS Lite. As far as the game goes, I found it to be fun. The main problems with the game are: the limited number of songs (I think about 25 which is actualy quite a lot for a cartridge-based game, but a lot less than the console versions), the sound quality of the songs (although this is supposedly not an issue using headphones), the uncomfortable position you need to put either your wrist or your neck in to look at the screen vertically, and the somewhat laggy touchscreen controls (strumming, moving the whammy bar, etc.). Obviously, the device popping out too easily is also a problem if you're having it. That being said, it really is a pretty impressive portable version of GH, considering the limitations Vicarious Visions had to deal with. There's a cool video on the Wii's Nintendo Channel about how the game was made, if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Well, I haven't had any issues and I've gone through the whole easy mode and 2/5's of the medium difficulty. Guess it's just one of those things where I don't rock as hard as I should . The hand position was a lot to get used to - I found it most comfortable when I was sitting cross-legged on the floor, although for a game to have optimal sitting positions does imply that it isn't the most comfortable. Sound quality and song selection I had no issues with, largely because, yep, it's a DS cartridge and I'm more impressed for what it has rather than what it doesn't. But I'm totally laisser-faire that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Is she using it with the DS Lite? Yes she is. She has adjusted to holding it and it seems to come out less often now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
