    I have to mention that it was because of Wil's comments on his blog that my family and I went out and purchased a used PS2, just for the sake of playing GH1. We loved that game. While GH2 doesn't have the impact of being something you've never done before, it surprises and delights in so many other ways, it is indeed a worthy successor to the original. Without giving away any of the little bits that make it so enjoyable, I'll just say that I almost died laughing after finishing a certain song from a certain mockumentary for the first time as an encore. You were right then, Wil, as you are this time. I'm so glad we listened to you and bought these games. My kids (boys, 6 & 8) have hours of fun with them.
