Music games getting old?

Alex Yusupov from XboxFocus.com writes:

"The Guitar Hero (and more recently, Rock Band) games have come a long way since their introduction several years ago. From the clunky, colorful and wired guitars of yore came new, sleek wireless ones. Thanks to the innovations of Rock Band, we also got a feel for what it was like to sing (albeit badly) and drum (noisily) like rock-stars. And boy was it fun.

However, the formula gets old somewhat quickly. It's always fun to do a few songs when you're bored, but it's the same playlists over and over, and a good 70% of the songs on those playlists you either don't know, loathe, or a solid mix of the two. And that's fine, because grinding out some notes was still fun, especially with some friends."
