It's quite cool to see the crowd and band react to how well you play, but after a while the novelty just wears off and it all just seems a bit cheesy. What's most obvious about Guitar Hero Live, though, is its FMV presentation, rather than Rock Band 4's computer-generated graphics. Of course, going through the concerts and unlocking the songs does allow you to play them individually if you so wish. This allows you to play whichever type of music you're in the mood in, which is a nice idea.
Each gig is performed by a different band and usually has a set theme: one gig is all about modern hip-hop, dubstep, and nu-metal, while another is themed around pop-punk. It does seem a little odd, but it's nice to have some diversity.Īll of those 42 tracks are available in Guitar Hero Live mode, which is all about playing gigs at two big imaginary music festivals. Bands such as The Black Keys, Fall Out Boy, The Rolling Stones, Green Day, and Kasabian light up the soundtrack, but what's most interesting is the variation, not only in modernity but also genre – Eminem's Berzerk and, strangely, Skrillex's Bangarang are present, as well as Rihanna and Katy Perry. This is most obvious when you take a look at the song list: there are only 42 songs on the disc compared to the 90 or so in previous Guitar Hero games, but the selection is a lot more impressive than Rock Band 4's track list. The two rhythm games, despite being in the same genre, couldn't be taking more different approaches, then – but how does FreeStyleGames' axe-'em-up square up? While the new Rock Band allows you to use old instruments, Guitar Hero introduces a completely new one where Rock Band 4 allows you to import old songs, Guitar Hero Live doesn't. Guitar Hero Live is Activision's answer to Harmonix's Rock Band 4, and seems to be the complete polar opposite to it.
