Video: Guitar Hero is back and it looks better than ever

Crack out your old Guitar Hero controller

Oisin Collins

Guitar Hero Live is one game with two cool ways to play.

Ah, do you remember the good old days of playing Guitar Hero before heading into town?

Many a night was spent by various members of the JOE team rocking out to classic tunes with some mates while enjoying only the finest of beverages… Which was usually whatever a 5er would get you in Tesco.

If you’re anything like this particular JOE, your old Guitar Hero controller is probably being held together by duck tape while gathering dust in a wardrobe.

Anyway, there’s some good news for fans of the series, as it’s set to make a comeback in a much more realistic setting than previous titles.

Guitar Hero Live lets you play the game in two different ways. You can play ‘Live’ which puts you in front of a ‘real’ audience that reacts to your guitar abilities accordingly, or you can play the ‘TV’ mode, which lets you choose from a rake of top tracks that will be constantly updated.

Take a look at the official reveal video below.

You can find out more and pre-order the game over on the Guitar Hero website.
