The history of Guitar Hero is one of fusing gaming with Rock 'n' Roll music. It bridges the gap between younger generations and older music. The game has now made its way to mobile devices from consoles. The premise is the same: a famous rock song plays, and you must tap the moving icons on the screen to keep up.
The gameplay goes beyond simply tapping buttons. The arrow indicates when you should hold the note and when you should release it. Tap the line connecting two notes first, then slide it to the next. The vertical line indicates that you are holding the note. You can also customize the game with some fun personalizations. Avatars can be customized in terms of their hair, facial features, and clothing.
There are six songs included by default in the app. These six songs are great, but after a few repetitions, they become stale. You can then purchase more songs from the app store. Songs can only be purchased in bundles of three, so your favorite songs cannot be purchased separately.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Guitar Hero (iOS) is very similar to Guitar Hero, with the exception of the use of instrument controllers. On iOS devices, the game uses the multitouch display instead. The player has two options: Guitar and Bass Guitar. In contrast to other Guitar Hero games (which include multiplayer game modes), Guitar Hero (iOS) focuses mainly on single players and has only one Quick Play mode. Challenges are included in every song in Guitar Hero 5's Career Mode and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock's Quickplay+ mode. There are four difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert. In each level, all frets are used, but a different number of notes and speed are used.
There is a four-lane highway in the game instead of a five-lane highway in console games. You can play regular notes that come down the highway by pressing the note when it reaches the note catcher. "Hold the note" is also called "sustain the note.". At the end of a note, hold down the finger until the end of the line. If the finger is lifted off the screen while the line is still going, the sound and note will be cut off. You can whammy the lines even if you aren't in a Star Power combo. When two notes land on the note catcher, the player can also play chords. However, iOS does not support chords with adjacent notes.
Instead of strumming notes, adjacent notes would be considered sliding chords. Strum notes are single notes (that act like chords) with an arrow pointing right or left. When you want to play a strum note, press the note when it reaches the note catcher and slide your finger to where the arrow ends. There are also tap notes that act as HOPOs or slide notes, notes with a line attached. Even though they can be tapped normally, it is correct to press the beginning of a tap note when it reaches the note catcher and slide the finger to the next note. Percussion accent notes appear as orange bars. Tap anywhere on the note catcher when an orange bar appears over it to play an accent note. The game offers Star Power. A star power sequence or whammy-holding lines can be used to collect star power. When the Star Power meter is halfway up, a cyan bar will appear over the note catcher. You can activate Star Power by pressing the button.
