Guitar Hero

released on Nov 08, 2005

Guitar Hero is a 2005 music rhythm video game developed by Harmonix and published by RedOctane for the PlayStation 2. It is the first entry in the Guitar Hero series. Guitar Hero was released in November 2005 in North America, April 2006 in Europe and June 2006 in Australia. The game's development was a result of collaboration between RedOctane and Harmonix to bring a Guitar Freaks-like game to United States. The game features a guitar-shaped controller (resembling a miniature Gibson SG) that the player uses to simulate playing rock music. The gameplay is similar to GuitarFreaks, in that the player presses buttons on the guitar controller in time with musical notes that scroll on the game screen. The game features covers of 30 popular rock songs spanning five decades of rock, from the 1960s up through 2005, in addition to bonus tracks. Guitar Hero became a surprise hit, earning critical acclaim and winning many awards from major video game publications, and was considered one of the most influential games of the first decade of the 21st century. The game's success launched the Guitar Hero franchise, which has earned more than $2 billion in sales, spawning several sequels, expansions, and other game-related products.

Nearly every game in the franchise improves on this one in some capacity, but I still respect GH1. It introduced me to Harmonix & helped make me a fan of theirs. It helped solidify my affinity for music & rhythm gameplay. And it played a big role in turning me into a lifelong lover of rock 'n roll. I may never truly learn how hammer-ons & pull-offs work in this game, but it's still a good time. Reminds me of my childhood.

Oh época boa, dando início a saga Guitar Hero com um jogo excelente, as músicas são muito boas, personagens caricatos porem ótimos e com gráficos bons para a época, amei a mecânica de poder comprar novas guitarras melhores, um jogo muito divertido.
Veredito: até nos dias de hoje vale a pena, curtir um bom som e uma gameplay simples e viciante.

Great start of this series. Lacks key features like video/audio sync and practice mode but it's in "playable" state on emualtor

foda demais, acho que esse tinha mais músicas que eu não gostava do que gostava, também as músicas serem covers era estranho mas ainda sim é excelente. jogar com o grimm reaper era IRADO
