Guitar Hero Live

The game offers various gameplay modes, including Quick Play, where players can choose from existing tracks and play in different difficulty levels. The instrument has been redesigned with six fret buttons instead of three, lined up in two rows of three buttons, and a strum bar. Players can interact with the screen by tilting the controller or pressing specific buttons to unleash Hero Power, which can be collected by correctly playing a series of blue notes on a track.

The game is divided into two main parts: offline Guitar Hero Live mode, where players become a guitarist for different fictitious bands playing existing tracks from popular bands on a number of fictitious festivals, and online Guitar Hero TV mode, which offers multiple channels streaming songs all day long. Players can compete with others worldwide, unlock player card skins, and access Premium channel with rotating challenges and asynchronous multiplayer.

The game contains 42 different tracks across various genres, such as rock, alternative, metal, rap, and dubstep, which can be unlocked by completing songs in the offline mode. Players can also purchase play coins to unlock specific songs in the online mode, which is tracked for performance scores and compared with others worldwide.
