I was disappointed by some of his recant reviews but this one was quite funny, probably since I don't play music games and am nutral on harmonix vs. activation competition

Fair and balanced review as always.
Though the most memorable part was the Deus Ex song at the end. That made me crack up many times. Please get signed with a record label.
Edit: The Stairway To Heaven comment is rock solid. I don't own any plastic guitar games since I prefer to play a real one, but that's the whole thing: when you're a guitar player, YOU KNOW STAIRWAY. That's one of the two staple songs of any guitarist (the second one being Nothing Else Matters). So what the hell is up with that? I've never been able to play either on any version of both Rock Band and Guitar Hero. The ONE THING that'd sway me to lower my standards and pick up a plastic controller instead of my dope US-built '86 Fender Stratocaster is the fact that I can't play either.
I suppose it's the copyright laws. Honestly I think that's the only thing keeping both developers from putting the really popular songs in the games.

1. The song at the end warmed the cockles of my soul. Thank you.
2. I enjoyed RockBand for two UND PRECISELY TWO reasons: first, it is severely more fun to watch people playing the game than watch the game being played. The faces they make are more amazing than anything else, ever, and I'd swear on that. Second, NINE INCH MOTHERFUCKING NAILS FOR ME TO SING. I don't care! I don't care that I'm rubbish! All I care about is I get to wail out The Perfect Drug while some poor fucker has a stroke over the drums.
AND THAT IS WHY BLAh blah blah balls go in my mouth now, the end.

Love the Deus Ex parody song! So flipping funny... 
Nice review also - and I agree about Stairway to Heaven.

Something tells me that Yahtzee will never recant on his reviews.lukemdizzle said:
Good review. I will probably never get guitar hero WT, or either Rock Band game. I have guitar hero 2 and 3, so I don't need anything more. I don't care to drum or sing, and none of my friends are into that either, so it's just more of the same.
The Deus Ex song at the end was hilarious! I hope sometime when there are less new games on the chopping block you'll look back and review Deus Ex; Although, that song did cover most of it's weak points already. Still one of my favourite games ever of all time, and I'd love to see it torn to pieces; I love it that much... Sigh, still waiting for HDTP and/or a good sequel; Deus Ex 3 looks like it's going to be another Deus Ex 2, so I'm not too hopeful on the latter.

Hey I know Yahtzee said the song maker was too nerdy even for him but I had a thought.
What if he or somone else recreated the Zero Punctuation theme song with it?
I'd do it but Im lazy.
