White boys can't keep a beat! Rhythm game thread

Ok, so there is Guitar Hero 1,2 & 3, and Rock Band, if you want to pretend to be Pete Townsend or all of the Who.

There's Dance Dance Revolution if you want to pretend to be an overweight 14 year old with no friends

Or there's American Idol or Singstar or what have you if you want to pretend you're... on American Idol.

Of if you are cool and/or old school and/or hardcore there's Parappa the Rapper and UmJammer Lammy, which are fucking awesome.

Or if you're a man or woman on the go there's

What's your favorite? What's the hardest experience you've had playing a Rhythm game?

I recently downloaded Snow ((Hey Oh)) by Red Hot Chili Peppers and thought it would be the hardest guitar song in Rock Band, then I got Sleepwalker by Megadeth, which is punishing as fuck while still being awesome.

    i played rock band twice

    it's neat

    that's the only guitar game i've played

    i am absolutely horrible at DDR

    i can't sing but it's pretty easy to fool the karaoke games into thinking you're singing well, which leads to funny noises

    ouendan is pretty awesome though

    ouendan is so much better

    EBA is too easy and most of the songs are terrible. they did a good job carrying over the style though. ouendan 1 is fantastic. ouendan 2 is also great but so far (i'm about 6 in?) the songs aren't really anything special. the ouendan 1 songs are more varied and special.

    Well I mean what else is there? We're talking about a belt buckle that plays Van Halen here.

    Maybe fireworks, but now those seem supplemental to the belt buckle.

    EBA is so much better than ouendan because the songs are about 4000 times better

    :lol: Oh god, I can't remember what that's called and I think I'll leave it that way.

    Rock Band is good times but the drums for GH World Tour look like they'll deliver much better. It's tempting to finally get an electric kit since I mostly practice in the house now and apparently you can hook them up to the game, bonus.
