Guitar Hero for the Nintendo DS scheduled to “rock…” shelves this summer.

Yes, you thought the series was entering the realm of absurdity when they announced the most probably destined-for-failure Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, but you had no idea just what mad science Activision had been brewing in their basement. On a mission to milk/shit on the series even further, the megapower has decided to try out this game for the DS. This looks like it would be about as much fun as typing on an iPhone keyboard and about as masochistic as well.

The major problem I see with this creation is a pretty obvious one: you’re not holding a fucking guitar. Instead you’re just pushing buttons on the side of a DS. I’m guessing the fantasy that you’re a badass rock star comes into play right about the time you start to channel the spirit of Kenny G and his enchanted saxophone. I’ll stick to Rock Band for now.

And in case you’re wondering where you can pick up this bad boy, the trailer informs that you don’t have to look any further than “Everywhere.”

Oh and last but not least I wrote this article in its entirety while on the can, which is the most I think coverage of this game deserves.
