Guitar Hero Live: Supreme Party Edition - Xbox One

I'm not a long time fan of guitar hero or rock band. I've always appreciated what they offered back in the day, but just wasn't something I spent money on. Got this game (two guitars and $20 in-game cash included) for $30 on Deal of the Day. I wasn't sure if I would keep it or pawn it off to my nephew/niece for Christmas. Opened the game up last night and hooked up the guitar and loving it so far. Guitar feels pretty good and I really like that they moved away from the color scheme they used in the past. What I like: The over the top live "campaign" they've included is so cheesy, but I think its fun. I'm not taking any of it seriously like I've seen some gaming sites complaining that they "didn't feel like an actual band member". Who cares. The live action stuff is fun enough and I kept laughing and drinking beers as I played. My wife died laughing at how cheesy it is. Good fun. The other BIG selling point that I LOVE is the 24-hour music streaming channel that you can play called Guitar Hero TV. It's basically you logging online to a MTV or VH1 from the 80s/90s and playing various stations with randomized songs to their music videos. I think it's great and I love the complete randomness of the songs. I'm not someone that wants to play the same song over and over and over to master it. I want every junk song they have thrown at me to just play. I love metal and punk, but the song selection for the most part is cr*p. But I don't care. I just want to have friends over and drink and act like a fool with this game. Many people don't like the randomness of the songs because they just want to be able to play their few favorites over and over, but none of that matters to me. I'm not taking any of this game seriously and the fact that you are playing against other player's scores online while the GHTV is running is fun too. What I don't like: The majority of the music in the campaign and GHTV is garbage. but on the flipside, there's over 500 songs available. Am i going to get super high and drink tonight and junk music on a plastic guitar? Absolutely. And then I'm going to go back to every other game in my backlog and fun with those.

GHL is *almost* exactly what I wanted, another guitar hero game with new features and a refreshed play style making it feel new and an altogether new "instrument" -updated guitar controller- to learn. That said, the ability to play any song(s) you want is gone, out the window. If you want to have a guitar hero party with some friends you have to pay for a 24hour "party pass" to access all the songs and choose what to play, which expires and must be bought again. It's like "pay to win" but instead "pay to have fun like you used to be able to". The game does offer "free plays", which are tokens one earns a couple of at a time by sitting through about 45 minutes of playing songs on random on one of their two "stations", and those dissapear fast. If I hadn't recieved the BB gift card I got for Christmas, I don't know that I would have spent my own money on the game, since I will have to anyway the next time I invite my friends over to play. Which sucks because it IS a really fun game.

Guitar hero has changed! My girlfriend wanted the classics red, green, yellow, blue, and orange so I baught this supreme part edition because it had two guitars! It is pretty cool, has lots of music but, you can run out of points to play song.. I don't know what happens if you run out but I can only imagine the costs involved... the guitar has 6 buttons now! In rows of 3 side by side! She was discouraged but we both caught on quick it's more realistic in a way but harder to play for 10 hours straight. Hours of fun just hope and pray I don't run out of credits....

I got the guitar hero live pack with 2 controllers on sale during a deal of the day on top of my gamers club unlocked 20% off. It was perfect for something fun to play with my girlfriend or anyone else that comes over. There is alot of awesome music in the game. Lots of my favorite metalcore and rock bands were on there. Some of the more mainstream pop songs are pretty stupid because there is no guitar but your strumming a keyboard or a violin... The guitar hero TV mode also limits you like a mobile game on your tablet by how many plays you get. You have to buy more by earning them or paying through microtransactions. It is definitely worth it with two guitars for the price I paid and it is alot of fun.

I really like the two rows of buttons vs. the older versions of the game. It makes the game more challenging and somewhat more realistic. While I do like the style of play better, the song selection isn't that great. Some people may really like it but others may not. I guess it's up to your song taste as to whether or not you'll like the overall song selection. The keys on the guitars also seem a little too "sticky" compared to the older guitars. The keys seem like you have to hit them at just the right angle or they don't push in real well.

I played the first Guitar Hero series and enjoyed it. This one is very similar, but the gameplay is different. First, the controller has six buttons instead of the old four. It takes some getting used to, but you can lower the skill level to learn. Second, the gameplay on screen is different in that you can play along with a "live" band or live videos. Both are quite fun and challenging. There is in-app purchasing, which I don't really care for, but the occasional song additions will be welcome eventually.

For classic Guitar Heroes, this new entry in the series switches things up with two rows, forcing you to forget what you know about GH chart reading and start anew. As a confirmed Expert player in previous titles, I had to begin in the second easiest mode and work my way up. You'll find new ways to strain your fingers, messing up at the start and eventually figuring out what works. Highly recommended for veterans of these games looking for something different.

Love this game. Its a bunch of fun and i love the new format of how the keys are on the fretboard. I went to the register with a price match from amazon, which they at first would NOT honor because it was a "Prime Only Price." Then I found Toys R Us with the same price.. then they were debating if they could match it if the nearby store only had "limited stock." Eventually after they looked at my account and how much i have spent with Best Buy they honored it. Thank you so much to Dave at the Eatontown Store who was very easy to work with as a manager and did not disappoint.
