Summary:
Guitar Hero is a game in which the players either play alone or as a team (of two people) and attempt to complete a song while making as few errors as possible. The players are able to choose the level of difficulty of the game as well as which song they want to play to. The game is very similar to “Dance Dance Revolution” in that the players follow a moving track and try to keep up.
Gameplay:
Playing guitar hero is a much different experience than playing any other game. From the graphic design to the social interaction it is a new experience. The first aspect that I noticed was the choosing of the characters at the beginning of the game. While it is nothing new to be able to choose which character to play as in videogames, these specific characters caught my intention. The game presents the most stereotypical looking rockers from hard-core looking chicks with leather pants, heels and pink hair to intimidating giants with Mohawks and studded jackets. It was not an option to be a simple looking musician that looks like one of your friends. While this certainly adds an aspect of excitement, after playing a couple of rounds it would be nice to have a more varying selection of characters; people who could possibly appeal to a broader demographic.
The other most interesting and exciting part about playing Guitar Hero is the social interaction. Whether you are playing solo with a group of friends cheering behind you or you are playing as a team with another player, people are no less than enthusiastic. Perhaps because the songs are all familiar tunes that everybody can relate to or because the players appear as if they are actually jamming along with the music, Guitar Hero is not a game to be played in the background, it is the main event.
