    GHTV makes it worth it

    The introduction of GHTV makes this worth the money. The added element of being "onstage" during the campaign doesn't do it for me and the selection of songs on the disc are not all that great in my opinion. Without the addition of GHTV this game would have been returned and probably would have gotten 1 or 2 stars.

    Love Guitar Hero. This is such a great game. Played it all the time on the PS3 and was super excited they brought it back.

    Lot more difficult than the original guitar hero. The challenges makes it more fun and will take a while to master.

    Fresh, but Lacking

    Having enjoyed playing GH3 I decided to try out Guitar Hero Live. While it is fresh, I miss shredding to the primarily rock/metal song catalog. This game is composed of mostly songs played on the radio; If you enjoy strumming mostly chords this might be your cup of tea. I don't dislike Bangarang but could the devs really not use a more suitable song instead of a song with no guitar whatsoever? While it is nice that new songs are added through the Live mode, requiring in-game currency to play songs that aren't playing in the playlist is a bummer. If you want to play a certain song that isn't playing at the time be prepared to grind through the current playlist (that you have no choice over) or buy the in-game currency with your credit card. There is no online play (i.e. pro face-off) seen in previous installments.

    Game is fun. It has a lot of songs to pick from, with a lot of variety. The new button layout is a bit tricky and I find myself hitting buttons accidentally. The 6 buttons are placed in very close proximity to one another, so hitting extra keys is quite easy. Overall, it is a fun game.

    I loved the gamend. Though it had Similarities to thensure older ones it had a lot of newer features. Game play with the guitar is much more realistic and more like playing a real guitar. And I enjoyed the ability to play online whole still having the freedom to pick songs from a list.

    This is a different game from the past guitar hero games but still a fun game. There is a learning curve with the button layout. I enjoy the ghtv aspect of the game! Overall I am happy with the game. The only downside to me is the songs that come on the disc could have had more.

    I love the new stages and the fact everything is interactive with real human in the scene, however the only thing made me give 3 star is the game does not allow you to stream or even share play for your friends to watch.

    Very charming game with fun new controller

    At first glance, this appears to just be another Guitar Hero title with a new set of songs, but the new controller actually adds much more to the familiar formula than you may think. The fret buttons are now laid out in a 3 x 2 set-up, making it simpler for those who had trouble using their pinky, but adding enough depth with switching between the upper and lower frets that even veterans of the franchise will have a whole new challenge. Add to this a stellar soundtrack and fun, entertaining FMV work for the videos and what you have is just a solid game for fans of the plastic guitar games.
