A two-player mode is included, and few games are more fun with a crowd. It's pricey, but a euphoric experience.
One solid game, and definitely one of, if not, the best music game this year. Mixing heavy metal riffs with the coolest American made controller yet, Guitar Hero is much deservedly rising to a cult status already.

This game opened my mind to a lot of different rock music and was a very innovative game at the point of release

Este jogo é incrível! Eu recebi e ainda não posso parar de jogar. Os gráficos são tão detalhadas para um game e é desafiador, mas divertido e terá que jogar por horas! A história é complexa e profundamente pensado. O melhor jogo que eu já joguei de forma

Guitar Hero is everything a game should be -it’s innovative, it’s tons of fun, has tons of replay value, and it’s accessible to both new and experienced gamers.
Rival consoles aside, Guitar Hero made me realise that it's gameplay over graphics - it made me feel like I was actually playing a game and not some crappy 'kill everything that moves' shooter.
With simple yet addictive gameplay, a unique input device, above-average visuals for the genre, and a carefully crafted aural component, Guitar Hero’s hefty MSRP is the only obstacle in recommending this game straight out.
I am frankly astonished by how much playing this game feels like playing the guitar for real.
I can see me playing this game again and again, because it's not just about nailing each song once, but really thrashing through the chords.
This game literally changed my life. I played this game so much when I was a teenager. It was the best part of my life. Guitar Hero, GTA VC, various PC games. What a lovely era to be alive.

It doesn't have enough of the very popular rock, or metal, but it does have a handful of hidden gems to be discovered. I do respect this entry a lot, for it is the very first in the series, and creates a gameplay foundation so fun, challenging and iconic that still remains very influential these days.
I wish, though, there was a way to make some extra cash with the bonus songs in the career mode, instead of repeating the base ones. I know, I know it's fun to repeat them, and eventually master them, but I'm just sayin' there's no reason to block income from bonus tracks. Having them pay us for playing them would actually encourage such attempts.
The career mode is very simplistic, but functional and fun; it doesn't really feature any endings or cutscenes like future games, though.
The unlockables are nothing special except for the bonus tracks you can unlock. Other than that, there are just cosmetics and new guitars and character, which is... nice.
GUITAR HERO built something to be remembered, and eventually, upgraded into much better installments. I do recommend you give it a try; there are some fun songs to be "rock n' roll'd".

Well the game is fun, but the song list is kinda week. It could have been better, like the Rock Band one, that was way better. Still is a good game and I really enjoyed it.

great concept, poor execution.
this is great as a casual party game, with many iconic rock songs. but as a rhythm game, the engine leaves much to be desired

Know what's cool? Playing actual guitar. Glad to see this fad has died off.
