I apologize for the preceding spam there. But to bring light to this situation, take a look at one of my favorite game series. Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2 is trained solely with simulation, and while he's nowhere near as revered as Solid Snake, he still manages to do a decent job. So simulation can't all be bad, right? But then again that's just a video game.

Hey, just like Guitar Hero and Rock Band!

Raiden was also a pasty whiny punkass ***** who had ten-minute long conversations with his girl whenever you saved.

And either way, you say he did a "decent job" because he learned stuff in VR training like how to bandage yourself, how to reload, how to disguise yourself as a cardboard box, how not to get shot, etc. But if you log three hundred hours into Rock Band and Guitar Hero and Band Hero and Rock Revolution and DJ Band Rock Hero and then pick up a guitar without any prior experience, you still won't have any idea how to play except how to hold the thing. Playing Guitar Hero solely will not ever teach you how to play an instrument ever ever.

Just wait till Wii Crap comes out. It's the sim to end all sims.
