To return to my own story, my experience with Chesney Hawkes was probably defining - I immediately ran hundreds of miles in the opposite direction, developing a taste for men with guitars, beards and Marlboro voice boxes. Maintain a sequence and build up a multiplier. When you do it on something that asks for the same hand shapes and actions you'd associate with a guitar, psychologically you feel like that's what you're playing.

You can do it on a Dual Shock using a mixture of face buttons and d-pad, but it's not the same. As beats flow past, you don't just hit a button you hold the right fret and then strum. If you tried to play the game Harmonix has designed here any other way, it wouldn't be anywhere near as fun. It's a beatmatching game, but it's not just 'with' a fancy peripheral, it's dependent upon it. 'Isn't it just a beatmatching game with a fancy peripheral?' someone asked the other day. 'Gimmick' is the wrong word for it, though it's obviously being thrown about. Like Harmonix's previous games FreQuency and Amplitude, it's about pressing buttons to match beats, but instead of using the joypad you're holding down one of five coloured fret buttons and strumming an up/down guitar string, occasionally reaching for the whammy bar or throwing the neck skyward to launch into 'Star Power' mode for more points.

Whether you're playing it alone or passing around the peripheral - a 2/3 size Gibson SG guitar that plugs into your PS2 - you can't help but tap your foot, wave the guitar around and, in some cases, slide violently along your laminate floor into a stack of DVDs. Guitar Hero, then, is a bit of a salvation. Yes, I have seen Chesney Hawkes live in concert. On the stage in front of us, a walking mole. See, my 'rock history' begins, aged 10, with me standing in an auditorium with my Mum and my sister. It seems to be the law that if you review Guitar Hero, you have to begin by talking about your own connection to the world of music.
