With "Guitar Hero" being a family game, everyone in the house can play. "Guitar Hero" has won several awards, including Game of the Year from ign.com and Outstanding Innovation in Gaming, Outstanding Achievement in Soundtrack, Outstanding Achievement in Game Design, Family Game of the Year and Outstanding Achievement in Game Play Engineering, all in the D.I.C.E. Awards.
The game has music from Sum 41, Boston, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and many more artists.
The difference between "Guitar Hero I" and "Guitar Hero II" is the music selection and the format in which the game is played.
In "Guitar Hero I" and "II," you can battle each other or work together on a song.
The style of working together on a song is different in "Guitar Hero I" than the way it's done in the second game. In "II," you have to choose either lead or rhythm, but on the first you have the choice to choose bass or guitar.
The difference between the two is small, but the changes do stand out.
"Guitar Hero I" has songs that are more of the classic rock style, with a few new songs to add a touch that everyone likes.
If you are not the best at video games, then when you first start to learn how to play "Guitar Hero," it may be frustrating.
The more you play, the better you will get at the concept of the notes coming to you from a distance.
As you move into your career, you can buy better guitars, characters, songs and extra bonus material. With "Guitar Hero II," you also can purchase different clothes.
The better you play in "Guitar Hero," the more stuff it can give you.
If you beat all the songs on the "easy" setting, scoring 100 percent, then you will receive a guitar or items.
I love "Guitar Hero" because it's a fun game to play. It gets an A+ and two thumbs up.
