Ooh, I hope that works for my daughter when she's old enough for it to be relevant. I've got a wall of instruments - some real, some game controllers, and some combination game/MIDI controllers.
You're in for a fun evening. Let her pick up a peripheral and she might stick with it long enough to actually learn the real thing. That's how Rock Band drums got me playing a real kit.
Excellent! I've got the drums and mic but I don't keep those in a ready state at the mo'.
Being really good at guitar hero was the final motivating push I needed to actually learn real guitar. Today I enjoy being a consistently mediocre casual guitarist.
Playing the crap out of Guitar Hero with my friends ages ago is one of my most cherished memories, your daughter is in for a treat.
It could also serve as a cool way to bridge past and present since Fortnite now has a GH gamemode, made by the original creators of GH and Rockband
Oh that's fun! My daughter is a few weeks old so we're in for a bit of a wait, but we'll see where we land on video games as she gets older. Being able to rock out as a family (+tribe) sounds wonderful.
