Want to be a rock star yet you possess absolutely no talent?  Ever have a secret desire to be the Partridge family, only you want to rock harder and not live in a van?  With Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero Metallica (which can be used with the World Tour instruments), you can be a super star without leaving your house.  Play with friends and family at home and online across the country!

With Nintendo’s Wi-Fi connection, you can rock ’til you drop with friends all over the world, just like we did the other day at my house!  My husband and I took turns watching the kids and playing our good friend who lives hours away and it was like we were all together!

I was cracking up while my husband and our friend were competing against each other and my four year old son decided to pick up his play guitar and rock out himself.  Our one year old was loving the music (I have a firm belief that all males are born to love Metallica) and for a while there, my four year old even decided to play a bit himself.

You can get Guitar Hero World Tour for $189.99 and it includes a Wireless Guitar Controller with touch sensitive slide bar, a Wireless Drum Controller and a Microphone.  If you just want the game itself and have other versions of the game, it’s available without the kit for $49.99 and Guitar Hero Metallica is available now for $59.99.

I had to record a quick video of my boys playing.  We were outside in the pool and decided to take a break from the heat to rock out for a bit, which is why my husband was topless and my son had his 1940′s style man-suit on lol.  There’s one clip of Jake rockin’ on the drums and another shot showing Ryan playing our friend across the country while Jake plays ‘rock star’.  It’s hilarious!
