Awesome game , awesome multiplayer , GHTV is awesome and requires no XBLG subscription....overall awesome game.

I beat the main story line in a matter of hours which is rather disappointing. The notes or chords as they show up on the TV are for me very hard to tell the difference when playing a song that has a lot of upper and lower changes in it.

In many ways my experience with can be summed up by the chorus from Faith No More's Epic: "You want it all but you can't have it." No matter how much currency, real or virtual, you pump in, you'll never actually own any of its growing library of songs beyond the 42 included on the disc.

Great controller; GHTV is seriously addictive; Eclectic song library

Superficial career mode; Local multiplayer lacks spark; Can't buy songs

Tracks are banging, the peripheral's bold and performing feels brilliant, but TV mode is a bust, making you rent songs rather than own them outright.

Youre performing to actual people rather than polygons; The new guitar model is authentic and fun to learn; A strong 240+ tracklist

Renting tracks rather than buying them; Fans are fickle; flicking between adoration and outrage; Only 42 of the tracks are set to live-action video

It has to take some level of gusto to take a franchise such as Guitar Hero and start over with it. Activision tapped FreeStyleGames to create a new start for the series, which has had its share of highs and lows. The goal was to craft Guitar Hero Live as if none of the previous games existed.

Activision and Freestyle Games have released Guitar Hero Live for PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, PS3, and Xbox 360. Guitar Hero Live is the first game to introduce players to the world's first playable music video game network that features a continuous broadcast of music videos with more being added all the...

After being out of the limelight for a few years it is time to take center stage again and rock out. Guitar Hero has made its triumphant return with Guitar Hero Live where you get the chance to play at a couple of music festivals as well as participate in GHTV, Guitar Hero's MTV equivalent (MTV like...

"A great evolution to the controller, but lacks the fun of the originals. "

As a last generation fan of this and its rival "Band" games, I was very keen to see what the new incarnation of the Simon Says plastic peripheral strummer was bringing. It's here with its new plastic smell, but how do things differ to previous releases and, more importantly, is it better than ever?

Clean slate; All you need is in the box! + Massive number of songs and will grow for free; + Content is free and will always be; + Simple and easy to get into; + Control scheme is greatly improved

Clean slate; Nothing legacy is supported; - Felt content will "never be yours"; - No traditional multiplayer; - Not as many 'hits' from big artists as I'd liked at launch; - Tokens and coins can be a grind

There's not a lot of negatives to Guitar Hero Live. It's just a great rhythm game and a phenomenal return to the genre for Activsion and the GH brand on the whole. FreeStyleGames nailed the feel that so many gamers fell in love with in Guitar Hero, while adding in a fresh new style with the...
