My fingers were not used to reaching around further to hit the upper black fret notes. Hero Power (formerly Star Power) is activated by either tilting the guitar upward or hitting the large horizontal button next to the strum switch.Īs someone who played Guitar Hero and Rock Band games for years, I found adapting to the new guitar controller a little bit tricky at first. On the flip side, the lower difficulties are simple for beginners, as only the bottom row of three frets are used. The new design allows for more intricate finger positions, especially with two frets in a column being able to be held together simultaneously. Notes are now represented either by black guitar picks pointing up or white-colored ones pointing down to indicate the upper and lower rows, respectively. Guitar Hero Live’s guitar sports six fret buttons, laid out close to each other in a two by three grid. The difficulty comes from the fret button layout, which previously was always one row of five buttons. The basic concept remains the same: hold the fret buttons indicated onscreen and strum. After a five year absence, Guitar Hero is back at a time when people are itching to shred on plastic guitars once more.īut becoming a guitar hero this time around is not necessarily easier for veterans of previous games, and may in fact be harder thanks to the all-new guitar controller. Often times, each new title only brought a different list of songs and soon the same old core gameplay became a gimmick that wore thin. Hubris struck and the series, along with competitors like Rock Band from Guitar Hero creator Harmonix, saturated the market with new games year after year. Guitar Hero made waves in the 2000s, becoming a pop-culture phenomenon and a tent-pole franchise for publisher Activision.
