That means you go through the behind the stage stuff before getting in front of the audience and then see what it would be like to genuinely be up there, no matter whether it's a dive club or festival.Ĭleverly, the video on stage changes depending on how well (or badly) you are doing, with band mates and audience members either encouraging, congratulating or booing you throughout the song. But rather than present the on-screen action in cutesy, cartoony graphics as before, you get live action, filmed actors pretending they are in a band and you see the whole event in first person. Guitar Hero Live is the career mode, if you like, where you take the mantle of a rising rock star. The new Guitar Hero will have two modes of play. But at least these allowed us to see one of the new features for the game in action. We then tried the advanced and expert modes and were lost within seconds.

However, you will need a little more dexterity and getting to grips with the harder songs on the tougher levels feels much more like a challenge than before.ĭuring our demo period (we played the game for 45 minutes or so) there were three songs to play in total, which we whizzed through in rookie mode - using just the bottom three buttons.

Not only will there be a Rock Band 4 released later this year, but Guitar Hero Live will also hope to reinvigorate interest in playing along to popular music using a wee plastic instrument.
