Guitar Hero Review

5 out of 5 starsScore: 100/100
Guitar Hero is not only the best Rythm game ever, but it is one of the greatest games period. It simply is a masterpiece.

Now while you can play with a dualshock, it is ment to be played with the Mini-Gibson SG guitar. It has five colored buttons on it. One green, one red, one yellow, one blue, and one orange. On Easy, you only use the green, red, and yellow buttons. On Medium, you use the green, red, yellow, and blue buttons. On Hard and Expert, you use all of them. As the colored note scrolls down the screen, you press that color and press the strum bar. Sometimes you will have to press more than one at the same time or you will have to hold the button down. For the latter, you can use the Whammy-Bar to change how it sounds.

The game's soundtrack is amazing. It has all kind of rock ranging from metal, to punk to classic. Some of the songs include Iron Man, Bark at the Moon, Fat Lip, Take Me Out, Ziggy Stardust, I Love Rock and Roll, I Wanna Be Sedated, Infected, Godzilla, More Than A Feeling and more. The game also features unliscensed songs like All of This and Callout. That is the the Review. I reccomend Guitar Hero to Rock fans, Metalheads, and people who like fun.
