What you really need to take away from this whole strangely set-up song renting system is that you're not actually going to need to spend any of your real-life moolah if you're smart about it. In-game currency one can earn for playing songs, or can actually buy with real world cash. Buying "plays", as well as new note highways and add-ons, requires in-game currency. Meaning players can choose any song to play from the entire list, but they'll never own any unless it's one of the 42 tracks on the disc.

GH TV has a bizarre system of not letting you buy songs, but giving you the ability to buy "plays". If you're thinking, "oh boy, here we go with the microtransactions", you're both right and wrong. Players actually can pick their own tracks form a huge set list, but it's going to cost them. It's like a radio, only with videos and a plastic guitar. Players are thrown into whatever song is currently being played once they select a channel and move on to another song as soon as the current one ends. There are two channels to pick from, with each playing a different category of music depending on the time of day. GH TV is basically a collection of music videos set to "channels". GH TV, on the other hand, is where the real action can be found. In the end GH Live is a passable campaign that gives players a new, but forgettable, view on the rock star experience.
Live mode's presentation isn't anything to sneeze at, but it's not particularly memorable due to the fact that most players will be focusing on the music at hand and not the background effects. It's not exactly a bad thing, it's just a bit distracting. In the game's eyes players are either doing well and being worshipped or failing miserably and losing the crowd. One of the strangest things about GH Live is that there is no middle ground to how the game perceives your skills. Crowds sing along and cheer if you rock their socks off, and consequently boo and jeer if you're doing less than stellar. They are video recordings that Freestyle Games has synced to every song in the main Live campaign. All of the people on screen, whether in the band or in the crowd, are real. It features a first person view with players taking on the role of a guitarist who is touring with various bands across multiple music festivals and venues. The former is supposedly the game's star attraction. Guitar Hero Live is split into two main modes - GH Live and GH TV. It's a very modern approach that works out well in the grand scheme of things.īut who cares about menus? Let's talk about gameplay. The transitions, loading animations and menus are all very well done, featuring bold text and lots of contrasting design elements. They've been replaced by a very minimalistic visual style that's more about simplicity than anything else.
Gone is the the over-the-top rock and roll attitude from previous titles player will find no flying eyeballs or overly animated avatars.
