It’s basically Spotify that you can play along to. GHTV allows players to choose a ‘channel’ and play along to music videos within that genre.
Having mostly negative experiences playing Rock Band online, it was interesting to see a free-flowing game mode that included multiplayer elements like a leaderboard, a levelling system, and unlockable items to assist your score.
The GHTV section was an interesting take on the online multiplayer mode for the game. However, given its size, there’s definitely something to please everybody. Preference is a big factor in whether or not you’ll enjoy this set list (I honestly only found 3 or 4 songs that I was excited to play and a lot of other songs I thought “Ew, why?”). Given how many great songs are out there, there was really no reason to rehash songs from previous games. I know this may seem like a minor complaint however, it just seemed lazy to me. I found it very odd that many of these songs were from previous versions of Guitar Hero.

The set list is enormous, containing well over a hundred songs on disc with more being added on the Guitar Hero TV section. I found myself thinking, “Hey guys, come on, we’re on the same team here!” I would say it’s the most immersive version of Guitar Hero, up until you remember you’re playing on a plastic guitar and using magic to amp up the crowd. Although I will say it is very odd how your bandmates react so negatively to you playing poorly. The way it’s shot in first-person does add that fun, immersive feel to it. I have to give credit where it is due: the amount of effort that must have gone into filming each of the different tours, the audience participation, their reactions to your performance, it’s really incredible.
Visually, it’s the best looking game out of the Guitar Hero/Rock Band franchises, and this is largely due to the game’s ‘live’ visuals. Guitar Hero Live is certainly an interesting experiment. I find it odd that with the big push to reinvigorate the franchise, where Rock Band 4 refined an already perfect formula, Guitar Hero Live tries again to reinvent the wheel rather than polish the perfected wheel they brought to the market, and this makes Guitar Hero Live a significantly lesser experience. And while Rock Band consistently turned out hits with gameplay that Guitar Hero created, polished to perfection, Guitar Hero oversaturated its own market in an attempt to stay relevant remember DJ Hero? One of their games was even called Band Hero.

Rock Band has a full kit? We’ll do the same, only our drums will have cymbals and our guitar will have some pointless slider thing. Since Rock Band’s release, it’s seemed like Guitar Hero has consistently tried to change their formula in an attempt to one-up Rock Band. While Guitar Hero created the genre, there’s no denying that Rock Band perfected it, making it far more inclusive and a much better ‘party game’ to play with a group of friends. We got way too into it-I think it’s safe to say everyone did-completing the game repeatedly on increasing difficulties until we were playing Through the Fire and Flames on expert for fun. I remember when it first broke onto the scene with Guitar Hero 2 at the time, Guitar Hero hadn’t fully captivated the audience and remained more of a cult game until Guitar Hero 2 launched it to phenomenon status. Guitar Hero has fallen on some hard times.
