Guitar Hero Reviews
1. Thinking about buying this for your kids- Positive
I originally bought this game with guitar controller for my kids (5 & 7 yr. olds)
thinking it was nothing more than a musical toy babysitter.
My oldest can play "I love Rock & Roll" pretty well on Easy mode by herself
but my youngest has more difficulty and prefers to only plays the tutorial.
There is no practice mode in Guitar Hero I, so I help out by playing the frets and let the
little rockers control the strum bar.
Get the controller with GH2 and then buy this game seperately.

2.
Playing guitar -- a complex mash of musical theory, muscle memory, hand-eye
coordination and rhythm -- is not an easy thing to do.
There are guitar players at Harmonix, you can tell.
The choppy chordtastic beat of White Zombie gets the blood pumping, "Killer
Queen" offers some off-kilter riffs that test your sense of rhythm, and that one
Franz Ferdinand song you hear everywhere...it's just indescribably awesome to play.
The beauty of Guitar Hero's song lineup (other than that they let every song play entirely
without cutting it off) is that unlike most rhythm games, there's no need to placate
different musical tastes: there's something about every track that rocks.
As the difficulty gets higher, these groupings become smaller and smaller until you're
playing individual chords and notes as you might play them on a real instrument.
The song selection is excellent and the game is easy for anyone to pick up, but the real
reason why Guitar Hero is so outstanding is because it really makes you feel like you're
playing these songs on a guitar.

3. Guitar Hero plays fantastically, it has great music, and, for a change, it's a rhythm game that's accessible to beginners.
Now, the Cambridge-based developer is taking a similar approach to the world of guitar
rock with Red Octane's Guitar Hero.
With its extremely smart approach to difficulty, its great guitar controller, and its
killer song selection, Guitar Hero might just be the best rhythm game ever made.
Technically, you could play Guitar Hero on a standard PS2 controller, if you wanted to,
but it's not nearly as interesting without the guitar.
But starting on easy, which only uses three of the five buttons, is a great way to get
used to playing the game.
Also, you'll be playing easier songs when you first start, and you'll work your way
through multiple brackets of tracks as you play.
Aside from the career mode, you can also enter quick play, which lets you play any of the
tunes you've unlocked in the career at any of the five difficulties.
High scores are tracked in this mode, which is great, but you can't select your player and
guitar, which reduces their importance a bit.
It's a shame that this isn't more readily available right out of the gate, since the
multiplayer mode is one of the game's greatest assets.
