Nothing is going to break this guitar unless you invite James Franco over to play. The guitar itself, while smaller seems of much better construction than before something you notice immediately upon snapping the neck into the body with a resounding click. Sometimes you need to hold both down and other times you need merely strum with no pressed frets. Now, as the strum icons travel down the note highway you only have to worry about black and white guitar pick icons pointing up or down indicating which button(s) need to be pressed when you strum. This not only better represents a six string guitar, but also allows for more intricate (difficult) note streams on the more intense songs or songs played at a higher difficulty. Instead there are now six buttons arranged in two rows of three. It’s smaller than expected – some may argue too small – and you no longer have your five colored fret buttons on the neck. Out of the box the first thing you’ll notice is the newly designed plastic guitar. To atone for their sins Guitar Hero Live reinvents the genre not only in the way we play the game but also in the way we play the actual guitar. There was a time where Activision was pumping out annual installments of its music game, often before people had mastered the previous set list. There are many that blame Guitar Hero for the death of the plastic instrument era. You have Rock Band 4 that desperately tries to pick up where it left off five years ago, and then you have Guitar Hero Live a game that is so inventive and original that the only thing it has in common with its lineage is its name. It’s a good month to be an aspiring musician, or at least wanting to pretend to be one in the comfort of your living room.
