    I find this sequel to GH an awesome one. The game has been refined and playing to a crowd feels awesome. GHTV is the next step where you can sit back and play to some of your favorite songs non-stop. Sit back and enjoy!

    Good game. I bought it for my 10 year old son. We're still trying to get the hang of it but it seems good so far.

    GH Live manages to bring the franchise back to life and distinguish itself from Rock Band by introducing a new controller as well as the Live performances and updating music video library thru TV.

    I got this as soon as it came out and I gotta say I love it more than the guitar heroes before. The new layout for the controller is really cool so you kind of feel like you're playing chords instead of a single note at a time plus now you can play the songs with the music videos on in the background. The only thing that sucks is that you don't get to make your own personal character, but I think all the rest of it is worth it

    The last time I played guitar hero was on a PS2. We decided to buy it for PS4 and didn't realize that the controller was different from the original blue, green, yellow, red buttons. However, this version is just as much fun as the older one. With six different keys, the levels are a bit harder however the songs are really great. We started playing as soon as we brought it and haven't been able to put it down.

    Fun mechanics with weird song system

    I really like the new two row/six button guitar controller. Makes for a ton of fun to play. The game itself is fun to play but some of the songs are really annoying for this middle aged guy. Do I really have to play through sets of screamo rock and dubstep to unlock more sets? Ug. The overall song list is pretty extensive just have to "suffer" through some music that I don't enjoy to get more free plays.

    Got this during recent sale. Fun game that adds a new twist to guitar hero. Live action audience with a new button layout makes it a tough challenge that is fun to look at.

    Finally a sequel to Guitar Hero that makes me want to relive middle school cramped in a dark basement smashing buttons while the television plays music. The new controller is sublime and the choice of music is excellent. But the GH Live feature paves the way for micro gaming making you need to pay real money to continue quick plays of any available song. -.- Story mode is much better though!

    Best Guitar Hero Ever

    This is a really innovative and interesting Guitar Hero game. There's some weird choices - I particularly don't like how a lot of the songs in the game are inaccessible without an Internet connection and cannot be saved to your hard drive, for example - but the game itself is a lot of fun and the FMV sequences are a cool hook. It's been a big hit with family and friends over the last few weeks, and that's enough to make me overlook some of the stranger design choices.
