It's unclear whether you share the feelings about Guitar Hero, but I'd point out that people don't play Guitar Hero because they want to play music, any more than they play Half-Life 2 because they want to shoot people while wearing improbable clothing. Guitar Hero is a game of reflexes and skill challenge, with the window dressing of guitar-playing. Citizen Kane isn't about newspapers. Guitar Hero is no Citizen Kane, but it also isn't about guitars.
