It has two channels you can pick from and it lists their programs like from this time to this time its metal half hour, on pop hour etc.
Guitar hero live pc version tv#
The other main mode is Guitar Hero TV which is like watching MTV(when it had videos) and you just play with whatever is playing at the time. I didn't notice a mosh or anything on the faster songs though there is a couple crowd surfers. I do appreciate what they were doing to create the Rockstar fantasy but I found myself wanting to go back to guitar hero tv because I liked the rock videos better because I wasn't rolling my eyes as much, The thousands of fans screaming at you or getting mad(they get mad quickly) was cool though. The attention was almost too much in my mind, it would seem like it would have felt more real to give the singer more attention, then shift it for solos etc. It also felt like I got nodded at an awful lot by my fellow musicians, I will have to watch for that next time I go to a show. The other thing I noticed was the air looked noticeably really clean(smoke free) vs most shows I have seen. I also thought to myself how the clothing of the crowd for the most part looked fairly neutral vs a sea of band related shirts like I have seen at most shows I have been to(You know the thousands of usually black shirts that most bands sell for 40 a pop that are near the entrances of venues). When I glanced up and saw signs they were usually pretty large generic patronizing signs that didn't seem natural and mostly cheesy. In all honesty it reminds me a lot of sports video game crowds because even though they are real people, there is little things that seemed off to me at least. I thought it was kind of cool at first but you are really looking at your lane more than anything. The sets are with different bands done in a live first person perspective. For some reason, I just find the three button part easier. There is no boss type of deals, and I didn't find the difficulty ramp significantly as I advanced through the venues, at least not on regular difficulty. There didn't seem to be too much of a venue build up, you are apparently very famous to begin with based on the crowds. Doing sets also unlocks songs in quick play, so do that before you have a party or whatever. The later shows in the festival are locked until you do x shows or sets. You are presented with two festivals, and within each are several shows to pick from. Guitar Hero Live is like the 'campaign' but this is also where you find the quick play for the on disk songs.įor the campaign, it is similar to past guitar heroes except you are picking from a festival chart instead of posters. It is also notable that your back library of songs does not carry forwards, so hold on to your 360 if you want to play them and don't want to wait for them to pop up in Guitar Hero TV.īasically there is two main modes. While I can see in the 'live' portion why drums wouldn't have been as exciting, I would have enjoyed drums being part of the game. If you weren't aware, you can sing along with a mic, but there is no support for drums or bass(at least with one guitar). It provides a reasonable challenge, but I don't think the learning curve is as steep as the 5 button controllers of the older guitar heros. Once you get used to it, it almost felt like they could have thrown in another set of buttons. The guitar is 3 black buttons and 3 white buttons. It worked well, I had no issues with either dashboard. I noticed that the syncing works better direct vs through an unpowered usb hub, but once synced, it works fine from the usb hub. I have the one guitar pack, so you start by plugging the dongle in and syncing the guitar to it. As of writing this I have about 20 achievements, probably about 20 hours(though the TA time is still listed at 11, but that will probably update.) I have all the main rock bands and guitar heroes and am fairly familiar with the genre.
