Guitar Hero Wii has given countless non-rockers the chance to feel like a rock star over and over again. This game and other music-game playing gadgetry have become so overwhelmingly popular of late. If you have not played before, you may be wondering why they are so popular. If you are one of the lucky ones who have played before, then you already understand why.

Guitar Hero Wii and its stablemate Rockband Wii let us live our fantasies of strutting with a guitar on stage like Hendrix and Page. We get to strut around, strum power chords, rock out blistering solos, soak up the adoration of an audience, and have fun with our friends, without having to learn how to really play guitar.

These games have grown increasingly popular while all the guitar-game franchises compete to beat the rest and have the most awesome game. With the multitude of bonus features, today you can play not just the guitar, but percussion as well, in addition to being the lead singer, creating your own rock star persona, modifying instruments, downloading extra tunes, and even recording your own songs.

Reviews are mixed about which franchise is the most awesome, but it seems that Guitar Hero Wii has the edge. Most people seem to prefer the bigger list of songs that are shipped with Guitar Hero. The Guitar Hero playlist has over 80 song titles from stars like Billy Idol, Coldplay, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, and Van Halen.

The guitars and drums that come with Guitar Hero appeal to more people because they feel more like an actual instrument even though they may not look like it. This along with the fact that they are reported to be much more sturdy than those of Rockband makes it more appealing.

Hugely popular are the video games in the Guitar Hero series (e.g., Guitar Hero Xbox 360, Guitar Hero Wii). The product reviews for these games tends to be higher. Small wonder: Guitar Hero makes an everyday guy or everyday gal feel like a big-time rock star. It is simply a blast to gather around in front of the console and rock out with your friends!
