I'm a drummer myself, but this made me want to go out and learn to play the guitar, which my bros and i are doing now. I love this game because it introduces kids to all types of music from multiple generations. My little brothers (who are 15 years younger than i am) are finally exploring the classics! I've been telling them to branch out for years because there is so much out there, but it took a video game to convince them to explore! Sometimes, buying an instrument isn't enough. You have to let the music inspire them first. That's why i love this game. And plus i totally think that jamming out with the fam is always a great way to spend the day! :) I can’t enough of guitar hero!

Maybe it's because my parents just never bought me video games or maybe it's because I was never good at playing them. Video games have their place and this game is definitely a lot of fun, but that study seems a little ridiculous to me...if you want your child to get exercise, encourage them to get off the couch and go outside. As for inspiring kids to play music, which I think is very important...why not just buy them real instruments in the first place?
