Hi Expo Alison here with a review for you. This is for a brand new Trolley Box. I had it just a couple of weeks ago. And it has been a really big hit around the house mostly for my husband actually. It is Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock for the Wii. And there is the case right there. It is $90 at Amazon.com. You get the game as well as this nifty guitar. And if you look like here you will see my remote. It just pop right in there just pop in the back. They open up and put your Wii remote right in there. That is how this works. It is a really fun game. What I would say really hard. I thought when you first get it; I am not very good at it. My husband has already made it through more levels and songs. The premise is this. It is similar in a way to Dance Revolution. And I will show you in a second. When you see the different colored dots come down the screen when they get to the bottom part; that is when you have to hit your guitar strum. You are going to have these colors here. It is called the there is name for that. These are the buttons. And they are color-coded; green red yellow blue and orange. When you are doing easy it is just this first three. So I haven t done a song with the orange. And so when a green circle comes down I have to be holding the green button. Oops I didn t want to do that yet. And then I strum. You have the strum bar here which you can flip with your thumb. And if I can pause this. Okay just while I am talking to you. So you strum with this. It just flicks back and forth. This is the whammy bar. But I don t use that very much yet again because I am too busy concentrating on getting the notes right. But when you do the whammy bar similar on a real guitar it just like extends the note. It kind of goes wah wah wah. So you can just make it sound like cool. And basically as the notes go by you hit them. You press the right color and strum the note. And it keeps tracks of how many in a row you got it right. If you do it right you will hear a sound. It sounds good. If you are off or you miss it your guitar will make this bad sound. So you can totally tell. And if you are not good the song will end and you will be booed off the stage. There will be a little meter onto the side that you can see. And that is sort of the crowd meter of how much they love you. And it goes red yellow green. So you want to try to be on the green. If you get to the bottom of the red the song ends and you are done. And the songs progressively gets harder as you go on. For this first easy level you have to get three out of four in order to move to the next level. So I got two out of four songs. I still have to work on my third on so I can move on. Right now I am at the beginning where you are in a backyard party. Then you move on to like a dive bar. And then you move on to like concerts. And it gets better better better. So I am going to play for a few minutes to see how it works. And I really recommend it. It is a lot of fun. I guess $90 is a lot. However it is really hours of entertainment. And it is great for your friends to come over and play. It is really really fun. So let us check it out here. Okay I am going to do Poison s Talk Dirty today. And usually I am standing up. But I want to make sure you can see me. (Game plays). See when I get them right you can see the face turns up like on fire flames you got. And when you don t it just makes a bad noise. (Music plays) you can take the bad notes it is like this weird singing sound in my guitar. [Indiscernible] yellow. Okay. So that is your demo. Check it out. If you have the Wii and this is definitely a must have and a good investment and I think you will really enjoy it. It is the Guitar Hero 3. And from what I hear the Aerosmith edition is coming up in June. And you will have all the Aerosmith songs. So that might be really cool too. Until next time.
