Guitar Hero (PS2)

As a girl who is part of a large group of friends who are mainly into indie / rock bands and going to gigs, you can't get a better game for the PS2. I was first introduced to this game at a friends party at his house - it turned out to be the taling point of the party with people to this day, requesting he brings Gutair Hero to any party we have. I was worried when I first saw others playing it as it looks terribly complicated, yet I was surpised as after a few goes, you are well away! Its loosely based on the Dance Mat games but instead of the mat, you have the guitar. As the song belts out on the screen, a guitar is pictured and tells you what ...  Read the complete review

Well… here I am trying to figure out my latest review as I type. I know what the review is on so I suppose that’s a good enough start! I just need to try to get back to the keyboard as often as possible… Anyway… moving swiftly along… I’m going to review another Playstation 2 game (no PS3 on my horizon, I’m afraid - so it’s going to stay old-school and retro for the foreseeable future) that I’ve recently discovered… It is… GUITAR HERO!!! Developed by Harmonix Music Systems and published by RedOctane, Guitar Hero was released on Playstation 2 in April 2006 across Europe and has proven to be a great success with one sequel already and ...  Read the complete review

Guitar Hero borrows the formula from the cult classic PS1 game Guitar Freaks, but adds the popular element that makes this a sure fire gaming classic. The game sees you controlling a Guitar shaped peripheral that has five coloured keys, along with a stummer which you must time correctly with the keys to perform the correct notes as the screen prescribes. Of all of the Guitar Hero games, the original still has the best set list, in my opinion - although there are far less songs, they are seemingly more focused, and less intent on pleasing EVERYONE with chart topping anthems. This game has pure rock through and through, culminating with classics such as ...  Read the complete review

This is an absolutely brillaint video game. It's essentially an air guitar video game. Here's how it works. You have a big great plastic guitar. It isn't quite full size but it is fine for adults. It doesn't feel to small to me. You select which song you want to play from the various different songs available on the game. The song then starts to play. While it is playing coloured notes which respond to the coloured buttons on the guitar, come down the screen. At a set point on the screen you hold down the specific coloured button and then you strum the strum bar in time with the music. Daft as it sounds you can really get into the songs & playing them is ...  Read the complete review
