Shit-talking and elaborate fingerwork are just as important as your point tallies at this weekly Guitar Hero showdown where shaggy-haired wannabes, seasoned gamers, and risk-taking drunkards alike rack up points by using a three-quarter-size plastic replica of a Gibson SG to shred through the "hard level" versions of “Sweet Cherry Pie” or “War Pigs.” To help things along, hosts hand out platinum-blond wigs and reward winners with drink tickets. Best of all, there’s a full-length mirror along the left-hand wall, so you can glimpses yourself in all your glory, regardless of whether the crowd cheers or heckles. Who care what they think? The floor-to-ceiling screen projection of this popular PlayStation2 game will have you feeling bigger than life.
