Guitar Hero

Guitar Hero was developed by Harmonix Music and published by Red Octane. It was released in mid 2006 for the PS2. When you purchase the game you get a controller in the shape of a guitar, this consists of five coloured buttons, a little flipper which is used for strumming and a whammy bar.

Guitar Hero is a rhythm game, the idea is to hit the coloured button when they appear on the screen. There are four different difficulty modes, these range from easy to expert. The game consists of 30 different songs to choose from which range from old Black Sabbath songs to newer songs by Franz Ferdinand. So with 30 songs, unlockable characters and an expert mode to master there is plenty to keep you occupied.
