Wireless Instruments

New to GHWT is a redesigned, more responsive guitar controller, which features a touch-sensitive slide bar on the neck that allows the player to play through certain song passages without needing to strum.

Be the Next Great Songwriter

Music Studio lets players express their musical creativity by giving them access to a full complement of tools to create digital music from scratch utilizing the guitar controller and drum kit. Players can create their tracks and then play them in-game or share the recordings with the entire Guitar Hero community through GHTunes. GHTunes allows other gamers from around the world to download and play the community's original tracks. Available to PlayStation 3 gamers is Line 6's guitar tone technology, enabling them to use amps, cabs, and effects from the Line 6 POD.

Create the Band

Budding rock stars can live out their rock ?n’ roll fantasies by playing either a single instrument or any combination of instruments, in addition to the full band experience. When rocking as part of a band, up to four players can jam together in quickplay or as they progress through a career. Both band and single-player careers feature non-linear progression giving artists the option to change difficulty and instruments with a variety of different gigs available at any time.

Never Jam Solo Again

Virtual musicians in need of band mates can take their careers online forming worldwide ensembles so no rock star ever has to play a gig solo. Plus, GHWT adds a "Battle of the Bands" modes, which allows eight players to join online and challenge each other band-to-band to establish global supremacy.

Customize Everything

The character creator allows gamers to create a rock star with style as unique as their own. Absolute customization from the clothes, to the facial and body structure, to the tattoos and accessories, players are encouraged to unleash their inner rock legend. The Rock Star Creator doesn't just allow players to build the ultimate rock god; the in-depth creators include the ability to customize guitars, drums and microphones. Adding yet another layer of personalization, gamers can create custom logos for their instruments, band, or album covers.

4 out of 5 stars Fun Game for Everyone   January 6, 2009
A. Rongitsch
We have really enjoyed Guitar Hero in our house. My wife likes it, and it is fun when we have guests over. The only thing that surprised me was the lack of trophies. Oh well, though. Now I want to buy the microphone and drum set...


4 out of 5 stars My girlfriend and I play together   January 6, 2009
K. Major (New York, NY)
This game is perfect for bringing in significant others who might not normally embrace the PS3. It's fun, and relatively easy.


5 out of 5 stars Add me to the Addiction   December 28, 2008
Kimberly Bannerman (Atlanta, GA)
I love it-I officially stink at it though. Shew! It's not as easy as it looks that's for sure.

The songs are some of the best the series has had compiled together. Sweet Home Alabama is definitely the hardest.



4 out of 5 stars Not as good as Rock Band, in my opinion.   December 28, 2008
Will
Since it's so similar to Rock Band 2, most of my ratings will be based on Rock Band and GHWT. First, the guitar controller is great, but I'm having some problems with it after a while of use. It's a step up from Rock Band's origianl one. The slider is cool, but hard to get used to and isn't great.

The graphics are nice, and, unlike Rock Band, there are day and outdoor venues, which let you see your character more and your customized virtual instruments. Real musicians make the game a little unique.

The soundtrack is really what makes both of these games. I, personally like Rock Band 2's list more and the multitude of DLC, but GHWT has some good songs, also. The most important thing is the music, which should determine which game you prefer.
