Aren’t these promotional photos amazing? We all know that women love a hardcore rocker. Anyway…
Guitar Hero has been around for nearly three years. It feels like it’s been so much longer, as the series has become a mainstay of the gaming world for what feels like an eternity. I’ll admit that the GH formula has started to lose some of its appeal, and I thought perhaps the peripheral-based rhythm game fad was dying down.
Just when I was getting tired of it all, developer Vicarious Visions was able to breathe new life into the franchise with Guitar Hero: On Tour. What’s so different? Well, the game emphasizes picking rather than finger placement, which I think is a clever variation on the old gameplay. With a slew of new rhythm games slated for release within the next year, including a new Guitar Hero on the DS, it looks like rock ‘n’ roll rhythm isn’t dead quite yet!
