It’s particularly difficult on the Regular level, strangely enough, as the notes don’t always correspond to the guitar tunes you’ll hear.
I did find learning the new control system took quite a while, though. Then being asked to press more than one button simultaneously mimics chord progressions you’d make on a real guitar – albeit less complex. The button positioning makes it feel as though you’re switching between strings on the fret board when you change between black and white notes. Its still the same formula as before: hit the appropriate button as it hits the line along the bottom of the screen in time with the music. Yes, yes, we know, it’s still an undersized, plastic guitar without strings, but Freestyle Games is definitely onto something here. Plus, Freestyle Games has made sure the Hero Power button is there within pinky’s reach if you’re not feeling rock enough to tilt the whole guitar to activate Hero Power.īut the idea behind switching out the coloured buttons for this new black and white combo is to make the overall gameplay feel more like you’re playing a real guitar. You’ve still got the strum bar, which you’ll need to press to sound the notes, and a whammy bar for bending notes on a whim. Instead, you’ve got a trio of white buttons along the bottom, with three black buttons on the top row. Gone is the more traditional five-coloured button array for two rows of three buttons. Publisher Activision and developer Freestyle Games is totally revamping the game, again after a five year hiatus.īut unlike its rival, Guitar Hero Live is trying to reinvent the musical simulation genre. But October’s spotlight is falling on Guitar Hero Live (and some other major titles). Rock Band returned in September, launching five years after the last series’ entry. But here I am, packing away the Rock Band 4 kit just in time to set up Guitar Hero Live and its redesigned guitars. I never thought 2015 would be the year that saw me spending my weekends rocking out with a plastic guitar again.
