    The new Guitar Hero is a lot of fun if you enjoyed the previous generation of music games. The included songs are not very interesting but the online music channels are enjoyable.

    My kids are rocking out to good music, so how can I complain about that. Decent improvements in previous versions of the franchise.

    Fun game with new guitar controls. I would prefer better songs instead of pop but oh well.

    Santa brought him a PS4 and his love for music made Guitar a natural choice. He loves it.

    I love the great new songs and am a huge fan of Guitar Hero. The changing of the position of the buttons on the guitar was a surprise but with progress comes change I guess.

    I love the new mechanics and additional buttons in the game. Even though it is different from the original games, i think the new button layout makes it seem more guitar like. Alot of people seem to complain about having to pay for songs, but I don't really mind it at all since the song selection is pretty great. Give it a try if you are into music rhythm games and for the price, you can't go wrong.

    Guitar Hero is a fun game. I like how much more challenging the guitar is compared to RockBand. The guitar controller is not compatible with RockBand. In the past they were compatible, not anymore. Still a fun game if you only have 2 people to entertain.

    Definitely more challenging than previous versions of guitar hero, it is like buying a whole new game! Lots of fun and great for multiple people to play at a group event!

    Buy this game with the PS4 bundle. Though only reduced 50 dollars, but Best Buy sent me a free microphone. Though not use right now, but looks friendly to buy things here.

    The base game songs are just awful. The "TV Mode" is the great part of this game.

    I have been a long time guitar hero fan and this game took the experience to the next level. The cheer of the band and GHTV offers great music. I recommend to buy.
