Written by Sara Elizabeth
So the grandest roommate in the world got me Guitar Hero for my new Wii. And it is, by far, the best Guitar Hero yet - however, I’ve noticed a few things that are misrepresented in the game. More to come as I proceed through the game. So the grandest roommate in the world got me Guitar Hero for my new...

Now we have Guitar Hero World Tour (reviewed here on the Wii). The full package includes a guitar, a mic, and a drumset. Up to four players can play at a time in the main game with vocal, guitar, bass, and drum parts. Since Rock Band set the bar so high and did so many things right, it’s useful to make...

Opinion: Rock Band

30 Nov 2008 18:25:00 PST

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Greg Tannahill)
Straight up front: I am a huge Guitar Hero fan. Rock Band is better than any of the Guitar Hero games up to and including number 3, easily. It's made by Harmonix, the people behind the first and second Guitar Hero games, and these are people who love their music and let it show. There is an authenci...

Opinion: Battle of the console rockers: Guitar Hero III vs. Rock Band (Part 3)

08 Jan 2008 14:45:21 PST

Guitar Hero III takes the cake as far as a purist guitar game. As a guitarist myself, after playing both, I much prefer the style, design, and overall product that is Guitar Hero III to Rock Band to get my guitarist fix. Guitar Hero for your guitar purists, and Rock Band for everyone who just wan...

Opinion: Battle of the console rockers: Guitar Hero III vs. Rock Band (Part 1)

Let’s start with Guitar Hero III, available for all platforms. I got into Guitar Hero just this summer with Guitar Hero II, and though I was a fan, I didn’t get hooked until just a couple weeks ago with Guitar Hero III. I’m a playing and writing guitarist myself, and nothing gets me more hyped ab...

PS2 Review: Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s

08 Aug 2007 23:02:29 PDT

Written by Matthew Valdez
Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s leaves nothing behind from the formula that was last used in Guitar Hero II. In fact, it doesn’t add anything either. Instead of jamming to songs that are popular today, Rock the 80s lets you jam on oldies such as "Turning Japanese" from The Vapors. Rock the 80s...

Xbox 360 Review: Guitar Hero II

21 May 2007 10:22:27 PDT

Written by Ken Edwards
Also new is the guitar controller, a white Gibson X-Plorer. This guitar is heavier than the PS2's SG, and a lot easier to hold without the strap (yes, I prefer strapless). Like other controllers on Microsoft consoles, it has a breakaway cable, and if any controller needs it, it's this one! Go...

PS2 Review: Guitar Hero

01 Sep 2006 04:27:58 PDT

Written by CallmeMaddy
Guitar Hero runs the same way. It comes with a controller shaped as a guitar. It will tell you to press one of the color fret buttons while strumming the "strum bar." This may sound boring, but it really isn't. Once you add a little music, it is a fun activity to do with friends, family, or by yoursel...
