Jam Sessions


Can this game teach everyone guitar?

More's the pity, then, that as a package, Jam Sessions is emptier than the lyrics to a Fergie song. If you want to get technical, there are all kinds of metronomic gizmos to assist you on your way, but the number of chord sheets available to you are both few in number and scattershot in choice (random grab-bag: Amy Winehouse, Blind Melon, Jackson 5). A bigger oversight is a lack of any Guitar Hero-like feedback on how well you're playing. We know it's more rhythm toy than game, with the Free Play mode providing longevity, but having heard our friends butcher the dulcet tones of Janis Joplin, we wonder if it's sometimes better to just be told we suck.

You'll love
  • Makes crappy playing sound great

  • Recording songs
You'll hate
  • Won't help you at real guitar
  • Very few chord sheets
  • Sounds a little MIDI-esque
