I can only go on medium as I can't reach the last button very well without moving my entire hand so it proves very troublesome. There are parts I struggle with but its fun to play and I love the harder songs anyway, they're more interesting. Played it on medium and hyperspeed 5, like I do with every song and I've never failed the song completely. Easily the hardest song.Īlways loved the song, then I found It was on guitar hero.

Personally, I really enjoyed the games, especially Guitar Hero 2, which I feel had a banging soundtrack. A new Guitar Hero game could be fun, especially if it goes back to a more tired and true formula, but modernized obviously. With Microsoft acquiring Activision, it's quite possible some of the latter's dormant franchises could be revived.

The first game was such a huge success, RedOctane was acquired by Activision in 2007 and MTV Games acquired Harmonix. The first game was a joint venture between RedOctane, which made game controllers, and music video game maker Harmonix. It started out with just the guitar, 2008's Guitar Hero World Tour introduced support for a four-player band including vocals and drums.
