If you think about it, the deaf people wouldn't think a game like "Rock Band" or "Guitar Hero" and such types of games would appeal to them. The hearing people would think the same about the deaf people. I know because I have gotten asked questions from some of the hearing people I know.
Well, you may be surprised to find out how wrong you would be. Rock Band is really a game for everybody. It's even more fun when you play it with friends and family. The game itself comes with a guitar, a drum set and a microphone. Ah, now you're going... a microphone? Well, truth be told, I don't really use it. Only a couple times and yes, I got a great ranking every time I tried it out. But that's only because I cheated by controlling the sound level of my humming rather than singing the actual lyrics.
Regardless, the guitar and the drum set are a blast to play with. Especially when you turn up the volume and bass. People can really get into it. I am pretty much deaf and yet I had a blast playing this game. I heartily recommend this to anyone looking for a good time with his or her friends.
It is available on Playstation 2, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. All of the names mentioned are linked to the specific edition for the console you want to buy for.
Enjoy!
I read about this in RS mag. I'm not an expert guitar player, but this looks like fun since there are many songs I do know. I should get this one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHmm, great idea to have in the house for when my grandchildren are visiting! And Grandma will snooze away not hearing the noise!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, I never would have heard of it otherwise!

Guitar Hero is cool. My 21 year old son plays with it all the time and I've played it from time to time. You don't need to know how to play the guitar. GH has training that takes you through the steps. It's really cool and If you LOVE ROCK, you'll love Guitar Hero.
ReplyDeleteHey, I just added the links for people who may be interested in buying the game. There are 3 links, one for Xbox 360, one for PS2 and lastly, one for PS3.
ReplyDeleteAdded these links as I was recently asked where they can be purchased. They can be bought at most big retailers like Best Buy, Wal-Mart and such. But you can buy them online too at several stores including Amazon.

This is such a great game. I had a bunch of people over for my birthday a while back and we were up 'till 5 in the morning. My neighbors loved that. But, it's way too much fun.
