Description

It's about to get real

Guitar Hero Live is here. FreeStyleGames have reinvented the legendary Guitar Hero franchise, with two innovative new gameplay modes and an all-new guitar controller.

GH Live mode puts you on stage, looking out: you get a heart-stopping first-person perspective as a real crowd reacts to the notes you play. Or, switch over to GHTV, a playable music video network where you can play along in real time, discover new music, and challenge friends around the world.

YOU are the rockstar

Playing music in front of a real crowd is like no other experience. With the new GH Live first-person view, you'll take centre stage like never before in the Guitar Hero franchise.

Rock real crowds with real reactions

Feel the rush of performing in a real band, in front of real crowds who react in real time to your performance. You’ll either win the crowd or lose them. Plus, your bandmates will also let you know if you’re rocking out or need to pick it up. Fight the stage fright and bring down the house.

Awesome music, epic venues

In GH Live, you’ll take the stage in a variety of venues. Experience it all, from the intimacy of a small club to the main stage of a massive outdoor festival.

All playable, all the time

GHTV is a continuous broadcast of music videos where you and your guitar controller are the star. Hundreds of videos will be available at launch spanning all different genres of music, with new videos continually added to the lineup. You’ll be able to discover and play new songs all the time.

Watch what you want

Turning on GHTV is similar to turning on your regular TV. Pick a channel and dive right in. Don’t like what’s on? Just switch over to the other channel and pop into a new song.

Rock out with friends

GHTV makes it more fun to play with your friends than ever. While one person is playing, everyone else can watch the videos. Plus, GHTV doubles as a competition. Compete in the living room with friends, or online with others. Check out the global leaderboard and see how you stack up against fellow rockstars around the world.

The guitar controller: easier to play, harder to master The guitar controller has been redesigned for the best gameplay across all skill levels. The new 2 x 3 button layout makes it easier to play with only three buttons or, on veteran difficulty, it starts to mirror what it’s like to play chord shapes with all six buttons, making the game easier for beginners and harder for experts. The guitar controller has been updated to reflect the new style and realism of Guitar Hero Live. The strum bar you know and love is back in all its glory, and the classic whammy bar makes a triumphant return to help you show off your flair. Use the guitar’s tilt sensor or the new Hero Power button to activate one of the many newly available Hero powers. The GHTV button lets you jump straight into GHTV from anywhere in the game.
