Description
SynopsisThe complete darkness is agonizing. All that reminds you you're conscious is the cool puddles of sweat in your palms and the indistinguishable chatter of hundreds of headbangers ready to hang on your every move. You flex your fingers, hopelessly begging for blood to keep flowing to them. Years of practice and determination have come down to this. Your mind races in rewind, and your fear and anxiety take over. They yelled at you hundreds of times to turn it down. You were told to cut your moppy hair every Sunday for six years. They said you weren't good enough, and you sat through a thousand lectures about "the future" and your wasted youth. But you sliced through the fog of negativity, and all that stands before you now is a dream ready for the taking. The spotlight comes up, bathing you in blinding light. A collage of silhouettes erupt as your drummer counts down. This is your one chance — it's time to rock out or cop out. Are you ready to take your first step towards rock-and-roll superstardom? When the lights come up, will you be signing autographs or unemployment papers?Guitar Hero simulates the thrill and the glory of rock 'n' roll. Choose from eight different characters, from metalhead to classic rocker, and build a career as a working rock musician. The real kick is in the gameplay, which incorporates a guitar-shaped controller for added realism (not included). Play along with 30 awesome rock tunes from some of the greatest bands in history, such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Boston, Audioslave and White Zombie. Four difficulty levels test your skills and six venues place you before increasingly larger audiences. Air guitar is for airheads. Take the next step and experience life as a rock legend.

This game is incredibly fun and easy to pick up and play if you're new to the game or not. It can be challenging when put on the hardest difficulty; however, most reviews I've read from game magazines (such as Game informer and other internet sources) say it isn't as challenging as their newer games- meaning it's easily beaten on the hardest difficulty. I haven't beaten it on expert yet and it's fun to play whenever and wherever so definitely pick this one up if you haven't done so already.

Guitar hero is one of the better games on the PS2. Its truly a joy to play and has a completely fresh feel all game. Its not like other music games in that it actually has good songs. You start out and, well, you could say everyone starts from the beginning just like actually learning the guitar. Each song has different skill levels and definatly different speeds, so the learning curve is really exciting and fun. You'll rock out on songs from Jimmie Hendrix's Spanish Castle Magic, to I love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Fun from beginning to end, this is a great buy.

My son likes the music I like!

My family is very musical and my husband and I have been trying to get my kids involved for years but my son was never interested until this came out. All of a sudden some of the classic guitar songs (some were oldies when we were growing up!) are considered cool - and we are also learning some of the newer songs! Thanks!

Guitar Hero is one of the most fun rhythm games I have ever played. The song list is great and its really fun to play along with these songs. The difficulty progression is nice because it helps you get used to the blue and eventually the orange buttons on the guitar. The only issue that I have with the game is that "hammer-ons" and "pull-offs" are quite difficult to do. This has been fixed in the 2nd guitar hero game but it would have been nice if it worked better here since some solos would be easier to play and would benefit greatly from this.

i got this game after guitar hero 2 and rock the 80's, so i don't know if that affects my review, but i thought it was still pretty good. the songs in this one were probably the best, but the gameplay wasn't as good as the others. this one's probably best if you get it first, but still not bad.

I LOVE this game! I can play it for hours upon hours at a time. It has amazing songs that are great to listen to, none of them are bad. It's fun to play by your self, or buy a second controller and battle it out with your friends. Anyone that has PS should get this game, and the following games as well.

I also got Guitar Hero one after I got Guitar Hero II. If you haven't played guitar hero you're in for a brand new gaming experience and if you have played Guitar Hero II you'll find Guitar Hero one to be just as addictive. A solid track list and similar game play make guitar hero one an addicting game just don't let it take over your life!

Most innovative game in a long time...

If you love music, and you love to rock out, then get this game. Countless hours of "rocking" to great music, from today and yesterday (ZZ Top to Franz Ferdinand). The only downside to this games is the head-to-head mode, but they resolved that with "pro" face off in the sequel.
