Guitar Hero

Guitar Hero is the first in the series of rhythm games using a custom guitar controller, which has become a massive phenomenon.This first game in the series was releasedonly for the Playstation 2.

Guitar Hero is probably one of the best rhythm games ever released on a console.Much of this success is probably thanks to the custom guitar peripheral, which is an undersized Gibson guitar with five "fret buttons" and a bar for strumming.The advantage of this is that it helps draw you into the game much more than simply tapping buttons on a controller and makes you feel like an actual guitar player.

The song selection is also important in any rhythm game, and GH is very unique here.It forgos the traditional pop songs of other rhythm games, and uses a lineup of solid rock music.All the songs are, unfortunately, covers, but they are of good quality.I would really recommend GH to anyone interested in rock music or rhythm games.
