Jam Sessions
Date undefinedWhen I first heard about jam sessions i was really excited. I just recently bought the game from amazon for a cheap price. I started playing as soon as it came in the mail and I literally I was tired of it in about 15 minutes. I play guitar so theres just no point of having this game. You are very limited to what you can do. Theres only 2 modes; free play and song mode. Song mode is pointless unless you know the song, because all it does is give you the chord names and lyrics. it doesn't even tell you how to strum for all of the songs. In free play mode, you choose what chords you want to use to play. Thats the one good thing; there are a lot of chords to choose from. The sound is also pretty good and most chords song like a real guitar. On the other hand, I really hate how there's no sense of accomplishment in this game. When you learn a song on real guitar, it feels really good. In jam sessions, it feels like cheating. In other words, don't get this game unless you're too lazy to learn real guitar

Date undefinedits sad. this game had a lot of potential, and a lot of potential for sales. a lot more care should have went into making this.
basically you play the ds as if you were playing a guitar. kind of. you can select chords from a huge variety of chords and assign them to the different directional buttons. there is a bar across the touch screen and you strum across that with the stylus as if it were a pick. you can save songs and you can use to mic to record your voice along with the guitar stuff. theres also a few effects that sound awful. its best to leave them alone.
there is no career mode to speak of. theres just a set list of under 20 songs. no difficulty settings either.
theres pretty much nothing to speak of graphically either. you can change the color of the bar in the middle of the screen and you can change the background color.
a career mode, slightly higher quality sound, and more songs just might have been enough to save this title. as it is now, i wouldnt even say its worth renting. just get a real guitar. (dont get me wrong, i love GH and Rock Band)
5/10
