Guitar Hero is a music video game for the Sony PlayStation 2 developed by Harmonix Music Systems and released in 2005. Guitar Hero's gameplay features the use of a special guitar-shaped controller modeled after a Gibson SG guitar to recreate the lead guitar part of several rock music songs; the player scores in the game by both pressing one or more fret buttons on the controller and using a strum bar in time with notes as they appear on screen.[1] The game features a total of 47 songs.
[edit] Main setlistThere are thirty songs within the solo "Career" mode.[2] The songs are grouped by difficulty into named tiers.[1] Furthermore, four overall difficulty levels — Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert — are present in the game, reflecting the number of frets that are employed, the number of notes to be played, and the speed at which the notes scroll on the screen.[1] Tiers are presented sequentially within each difficulty level; in lower difficulty modes, only 3 or 4 songs of each tier must be completed before the next tier is made available for that difficulty level, while in the hardest difficulty, all five songs must be completed.[3] Once a tier is opened at any difficulty level, the songs in that tier are playable in quickplay or competitive modes.[1] All songs are covers of the original versions, credited as, for example, "'Iron Man' as made famous by Black Sabbath", and were performed by WaveGroup Sound for the game.[4] WaveGroup has released a selection of these covers through paid download services like iTunes in a collection entitled "The Guitar Hero Recordings".[4]
aBased on in-game information for the Judas Priest song "You've Got Another Thing Comin'", the game incorrectly credits the song title as "You Got Another Thing Comin'". [edit] Bonus songsSeventeen bonus songs are available within Guitar Hero.[2] Bonus songs can be purchased with in-game money earned from the Career mode within the game's virtual store.[3] Once purchased, the songs will be playable at all difficulty levels in Career, quickplay, and competitive modes. Many of the bands featured in the bonus songs are those that Harmonix members participate in.[5] The song "Cheat on the Church" by Graveyard BBQ was selected for inclusion in the game as the winner of the "Be a Guitar Hero" contest.[6] All of the bonus songs are the original master tracks.
bThe group Artillery has since changed their name to Breaking Wheel. [edit] Other songsTwo other songs are present on the game media, but they can only be unlocked through the use of a PlayStation 2 cheat device, such as GameShark, Code Breaker or Action Replay.[7][8]
