Guitar Hero is a Big Zero!

We bought the xBox 360 and Guitar Hero 3 for Forrest and Sadie for Christmas. They had both played Guitar Hero 3 at Walmart and Sam's Club and even I played a song or two too. It was fun. I like rock and roll so we thought it would be a good investment for our family. Wrong! Some of the songs I have heard on this game are horrible! Forrest was at the end of the "medium" level and had to beat the "devil" in order of beating the game. I walked into the room and couldn't believe what I was hearing! "Six,Six,Six..of the devil..satan has done his job..." I immediately told Forrest this song was inappropriate and he turned the volume down so he could finish the game. Unfortunately, he didn't beat the devil and lost the game. I asked him what he thought about the song and he told me he didn't know it was a bad song. He was only trying to keep up with the notes. In the eyes of my 13 1/2 year old son, he was only playing a game. He wasn't paying attention to the words. The other day, Forrest was playing a song where the singer was screaming the lyrics. Now I really understand why my mom was so overbearing in trying to control my music. Ozzy Osbourne is a saint compared to the music on this so-called game. This weekend, George and I are going to sit down with Forrest and Sadie and go through each song to determine if we should allow it to be played in our home. It is either do this or get rid of the game. I do have to admit that I have almost mastered the song "Talk Dirty to Me". I am at 44% on expert. But is this a song I want my kids to sing over and over? NO! Had I known what I know now about this game, we would have never considered buying it for our children. This game has a rating of "T" for teen. I give it a "NT" for no thank you! Therefore, I rate Guitar Hero 3 a BIG ZERO!
