Jam Sessions

Smug Duckling

So, Jam Sessions is coming out in about 2 weeks so I figure it's time for another thread about it.

Personally, I'm excited but a bit worried. On one hand, it'll be cool to try out various chord combinations on the DS before trying them out on my guitar so that I won't inhibit myself by choosing only chords that are easy to play.

But I'm also a little worried because I'm still a little iffy on the sound quality. In some previews it sounds just like a real guitar, but in others it sounds pretty crappy, the chords are muted prematurely, and it seems that even actual musicians have a hard time playing in time. Hopefully it's just a matter of practice.

Anyway, are you planning on getting this game, and if so, why? As a practice-aid for guitar, or as an instrument in its own right? A bit of both?

EDIT: Oh, by the way, you can listen to a bunch of people playing it on http://www.myspace.com/jamsessions

EDIT 2: Oops, just noticed that the older thread was updated as late as yesterday. Sorry, I'll post there instead.

sound quality is great. i saw a live demo at pax and had the opportunity to try it out. It's not a guitar replacement by any means but it looks to be an invaluable tool for song writers on the go. All the little details and effects they put into it are pretty nifty and to be honest, unexpected. the sound samples are great too.
