Videogame Review, Guitar Hero Arcade for the Arcade (Original Arcade Machine)
My guitar stinks. Do you smell what the… oh, excuse me. I need to review this arcade machine. It’s an arcade machine. You can still find it in Laughlin, Nevada at Edgewater Hotel & Casino. It’s near the hole-in-the-wall, close to a 24-hour quickie store. Do I like the game? Yes! But, there’s still problems. Guitar Hero Arcade is a blast from the past. I know this. I was playing Guitar Hero Arcade for a couple days during my vacation to Laughlin, Nevada. I spent $25 dollars. Most songs cost 1 dollar each. Some songs cost 2 dollars each. I was using real money to pay for the “other” money. The “other” money comes in specially marked golden coins. It’s a classic example of business inflation for the arcade. At least my gaming can seem less expensive with the pseudo numbers. Guitar Hero Arcade was a “classic”. Is it still a classic? Well, it depends on how you look at the subject of interest. The songs can play rough and I must use my special “guitar” controller to adjust to the TV issues. The TV for Guitar Hero Arcade does have interesting, unique moments. Look at the rock music. Do you see what I see? I see problems. Notice that Guitar Hero Arcade is mostly rock music only. We do not get Folk music; we do not get Jazz music; we do not get Romance music; we do not get Religious music; we do not get Kids music; we do not get Easy Listening music; we do not get Golden Oldies music, etc. Hell! We do not even get Elvis! ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!!! Or, maybe I’m a little tipsy with a drink and don’t remember that much. You can choose a character in Guitar Hero Arcade; however, the characters are just mostly clones with distinctions of looks and appearance only. You will find plenty of rock music to sample from. But Guitar Hero Arcade is a liberal stereotype. There ain’t no minstrels! There ain’t no romances! There ain’t no parrot heads! Okay, I confess. I’m a monster. I listen to just about anything. You probably notice my disorderly fashion of music. Since I review videogames, my reviews are more behavioral than developmental. I’m not the most electrifying type of guy. There’s nice graphics for Guitar Hero Arcade. Trust me! Guitar Hero Arcade will melt your nostalgia buds. I don’t need a guitar strap. The guitar controller is heavy enough. In fact, when playing “guitar” for Guitar Hero Arcade it feels like I’m lifting a weight. It doesn’t feel like a dumbbell. It feels more like a plane crash; especially, during intense moments when the TV has video issues and graphical distortions. Seeing prisoners in the “jailhouse rock concert” is pretty funny and glorious to view. Guitar Hero Arcade does have Heart. Keep in mind that Guitar Hero Arcade does not have Peter, Paul and Mary or anything of the like. Let me guess… you do not know Peter, Paul and Mary. That’s sad. Guitar Hero Arcade is missing A LOT of guitar artists from the past. This is still a visual game with colorful beauty. It’s just unfortunate that Guitar Hero Arcade was more of a divisive symbol of the liberal arts and less of a universal praise for quality assistance. Playing with credits does work to a degree. 1-dollar and 2-dollar songs both work. Banging my head with the “guitar” controller does take practice and the heavy load is enough to be the greatest distraction at Edgewater Hotel & Casino in Laughlin, Nevada. Most visitors to Edgewater Hotel & Casino in Laughlin, Nevada don’t go to the arcade. I don’t understand their fear and shy personalities. You can find some modern games in the arcade. Guitar Hero Arcade did let me show off and attract some visitors to the arcade room. Some people were coming near the arcade room. They wanted to know what the “loud music” was. Guitar Hero Arcade does have loud music. There was even a cool dude with a nice haircut, who, from seeing me play Guitar Hero Arcade, was dancing near me and banging his head with peace-hand signals while I was playing. I’m not that good at Guitar Hero Arcade. (Playing with my smallest finger is tough!) I’m in the minority of video games in this case. Guitar Hero Arcade does have a lot to offer. It’s a shame. But, from my recent visit to Edgewater Hotel, I think there’s way too much “rock” and not enough other music to keep the blood flowing in my temple.
