This is the first downward trend in the Guitar Hero franchise. Okay, that’s a scathing, somewhat crappy thing to say about a game I just gave four stars. My limited budget (and eager to improve writin… Read more

Guitar hero 2 for the next generation.

Pretty damn good, with minor downsides

Guitar Hero Two is easily better than three to me. Three is all flahs and no subssentce. I knwo all the songs in this game which makes it even better. And its not as hard which means I can beat it eas… Read more

Apparently playing a toy miniguitar with no strings is awesome.

A questionable soundtrack that leaves you a little underwhelmed.

Harmonix have teamed up with RedOctane once again to bring you one of the most anticipated sequels I can remember for quite some time. Guitar Hero surprised everyone after the majority of people label… Read more

More of the same great game, but it leaves you wanting more

The first Guitar Hero was a dream come true for me. I had always loved the Konami series Guitar Freaks in the arcade, and I was hoping for a US version which of course never came to be. I followed Gui… Read more

Guitar Hero II

Guitar Hero is still just as addicting as ever, as you find yourself continually saying "just one more song". It's still great fun to rock out and play some good tunes, although the setlist isn't near… Read more
