Guitar hero, game franchise that RedOctane in Activision's partnership made us know in 2005, where its launch represented a cultural reset in the world of video games becoming one of the most influential games of all time, with presentations for computer, PlayStation, Xbox, Wii consoles, among others, creating their own instruments for a more realistic experience when it comes to enjoy playing them.
The dynamics of the game is based on embodying guitarists, drummers, vocalists and bassists in the interpretation of legendary rock songs, or classic ballads, collecting our score depending on our performance by following the color patterns shown in the game. The color patterns are the manifestation of chords and musical melodies, which we must follow using our controllers, in the case of using a keyboard to play, we can configure letters as colors, that is to say, when we press a certain letter we can activate the color we want at the moment we press it. There are also songs in battle, which give you more bonuses and represent a greater challenge. In these we can use certain kinds of powers to sabotage our opponent. In the end, the best is the one who will win, however, we must try harder because it is more complex, also influence the difficulty in which we are playing.
Thanks to our performance in the songs that we interpret, we will receive a bonus which we can invest in new characters, until unlocking all legends or heroes. In some versions of the game there are even rock legends, which is exciting since we can personify our favorite artists. We can also change their clothing, colors, styles and poses.
In the same way, we can obtain classical, acoustic, electric and electro-acoustic guitars. From the most prestigious brands to the most accessible, from the simplest to the most extravagant designs, of all colors and shapes, even some rock legends guitars.
There are also songs in battle, which give you more bonuses and represent a greater challenge. In these we can use certain kinds of powers to sabotage our opponent. In the end, the best is the one who will win, however, we must try harder because it is more complex, also influence the difficulty in which we are playing.
To one side of our chords we have a "rock meter" that tells us how well or bad we are playing, when we are in the yellow is a warning to improve our performance, if we reach the top of the red color means that we have lost the song, we will not get bonus and we can not mark the song as completed, so the ideal is to always stay in the green light.
PERSONAL OPINION: Clearly being such a legendary game and that was part of my childhood, my opinion is very little impartial, however, speaking out of nostalgia and good memories, I can say that this game franchise is so well executed in most of its versions that it is almost impossible not to have heard of any of their games at least once, is legendary, iconic, memorable and impossible to overlook, gives you hours of fun gameplay, making you even lose track of time trying more and more to conquer scenarios and the public. It takes you into the world of a rock star, making you feel even more love for your favorite songs, bands and artists, you experience firsthand how great it is to be a guitar hero, it helps you improve skills such as timing, mental and finger agility, and teaches you to improve your performance more and more. My love for this game is indescribable, I have played it in each and every one of its versions and honestly each of those times I enjoy it as if it was the first time. I totally recommend it, you must play Guitar Hero sometime in your life.
Thank you very much for coming here, I hope you liked this review and experience of this legendary game.
everything is written by me, in my own words and experience of the game.
