Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 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!

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.

I like this game a lot better than Guitar Hero 2. I guess because of the song list on it. I'm looking forward to Guitar Hero 3. Buying this item online and then picking it up at the store is what I did and it was very conveinient.

I bought this game the day it came out. it was great. them no one really started to play until GH3. this game is much easier and much more fun the 2 and 3. Even if u have 2 and 3 go buy this and you wont be disappointed.

The best rhythm game i have ever played, and will keep you playing for hours. It is loads of fun, and keep you coming back for more. Its great for all ages, and fun for the whole family.

This was the orginal in the music based games. This game is great. The best song of all time in Guitar Hero is in this game "Iron Man". Play this one if you like any of the others.

Getting to play Fat Lip is worth the entire game. Played Guitar Hero before this and this is still an awesome game because most people just like the second one better.

I still think this is one of the best, with really good song selection. Worth trying!

This is a good game over all ecept for not being able to create a charter

This is a way fun game with a lot of good songs.

I have only six words, this is the best game ever.
