Ugh, great, now I won't be going there anytime soon. I'm sick of constantly having to put up with solicitors trying to get money out of me. At least Target is still sticking to their guns.
Great interview! I'm really glad to see some of my questions up there; it gave me a chance to find out quite a few things that I was curious about (I want to know more about gameplay, but I'd rather play it myself than read about it). I hope this enlightens others as well. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really looking forward to trying this one out.
I actually think the setlist is the strongest point in this game; it is the best Guitar Hero setlist in the last few years. For once, the songs are actually fun and easy to recognize, unlike all of the death rock and hair metal ballads of previous titles. Also, the timing of the frets is a bit off. They don't register the way they are supposed to, no matter how many times I try to calibrate it. But despite that and the fact this is trying so desperately hard to be Rock Band 2, I think this is one of the better Guitar Hero games. It's not my favorite, but it's at least as good as Guitar Hero 3. And it's leaps and bounds better than World Tour.
Eep, that doesn't sound good!
I think faceplates are silly and a remote is only useful if the console natively plays DVD's, but I agree with the other stuff. I especially agree with throwing in a game. This used to be the standard procedure! It's not fair having to spend so much money to buy a console and then having to spend even more to play something on it. Thankfully, Microsoft finally caught on and starting including games, but they should've done it from the beginning like Nintendo did.
Are you just looking to expand or did something happen with Eric, Dan, and Caleb?
The Wii is a great console and all, but I think it could use a slightly bigger cut. I mean, it already started out way cheaper than PS3 and with this price cut, now it's the same price as an Xbox 360. And let's not forgot that most people who want the Wii already have it because it's a lot more accessible now that they're not going for hundreds of dollars all over the internet and newspaper. I think they should've cut it down to more like $170. But that's just me. At this point, they should at least include the Motion Plus and Wii Sports Resort (along with the original game).
I think it's hilarious that they're offering free shipping for this. That's a huge selling point right there!
The Lost Boys is my all-time favorite vampire movie. I grew up watching it and I still watch it a few times every year. I'm not sure how I would feel about a game, but it could be awesome if done right. And it's something that I could actually see happening. After all, they came out with the sequel last year, which was followed by a Lost Boys comic book. So, hey, you never know. And now that I'm thinking about it, a game actually could be pretty bad ass. They could include some of the stuff from the book that was left out of the movie. And it could expand on the ending of the movie and throw in another big fight against David (he never died in the movie). Maybe they could also work in some of the stuff from Reign of Frogs. Heck, might as well throw in stuff from The Tribe too. They can just make an all-encompassing Lost Boys game! Yeah, I know, I'm getting a bit overzealous. But it'd be damn cool.
Monster Squad is another great choice, by the way. I think it'd be hard adapting it into a game, though. I have a hard time seeing how they could make this without it being too cheesey (in a bad way). Personally, I think Waxwork would be more appropriate. If Madballs can get their own 20 years later, some of these movies should get a chance too!
That guy is pretty freakin' sexy.
