The Guitar Hero series offers its biggest lineup of songs to date with Legends of Rock, the first game developed outside of Harmonix. Fans of the finger-fiddling franchise will rock out to over 70 tracks, many of which use master recordings from the original artists. The core play mechanics are nearly identical to previous iterations, with players using a guitar-shaped controller to quickly match colored notes as they cascade down the screen. By keeping up with the song, hitting the right chords at the right time, and strumming to the beat, players will rack up points and advance to more challenging tunes.
Once again players can embark on a career, earning money to unlock new characters, guitars, songs, and other surprises while competing in an assortment of colorful venues. For the first time, players will test their technique against real-life guitar gods. Rock stars Slash, Tom Morello, and others will confront players at various points, where the object is to drain their "rock meter" by outperforming them at their own songs. Online support is also included for head-to-head battles. Completing tricky "star power" riffs earns players random power-ups to use against rivals at any time.
Player-sabotaging power-ups include doubling the number of onscreen notes, switching control to left-handed play, and more. Non-competitive types will appreciate the career co-op mode, allowing two guitarists to work together through each song list. Among the featured tracks are "Paint It Black," "Cherub Rock," "Slow Ride," "Barracuda," "Rock and Roll All Nite," and "Sabotage." The game also supports downloadable content via Xbox Live, from additional songs to picture packs and themes.
Fun but could have more songs and at Best Buy for this money you could get a Wireless Guitar too. Submitted by Josh (Wi, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
It's like playing a guitar! I just loved the game. Never played any instrument, but the interface is simple and logic. Just listen the sound and press the button on the right time.
Play the best rock classic ever. Play a battle with great rock heroes like Slash.
In a word? Buy.

great game My two sons are having a ball with this game. The only draw back, is the limited number of songs available to play if you do not have a memory card. They each have their own Play Station at college, and are borrowing a friend's to play while home on break. Other than that, it is great fun. I am surprised an 18 and 21 year old are having such a good time playing this game. Submitted by JDJ (Fairfax Station, VA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
