Guitar Hero Mobile shown off at CTIA Wireless expo, critics love the three-button controls
Over in the US, the CTIA Wireless expo is a-happening, and the lucky folk at CNet have made us green with envy, as they got to fool around on the new Guitar Hero Mobile game.
The mobile version of the game first created for the PS2 is loosely based on Guitar Hero 3, but much more simplified for easy mobile handset usage. There are two characters – Alex Steel and Judy Nails, four guitars, and just 15 songs, however users subscribed to the service can buy three extra songs each month. If you’re…
Guitar Hero unplugged – the Power Tour Guitar
The Power Tour Guitar is a giant leap forward in guitar evolution. It replaces strings with buttons, so you can learn how to play without requiring lessons from some old hippy who was in a marginally famous 70s prog-rock band.
It comes pre-loaded with some of the most annoying amateur guitar favourites, including Smoke on the Water and…
Guitar Hero on the Nintendo DS to have peripheral, confirmed
Break open the Lambrini, as your wildest Guitar-Hero-on-the-DS dreams have come true. Plenty were dismayed when we heard reports earlier that the DS version of Guitar Hero would be using the stylus as the input device, as I’m sure we were all holding out for a portable mini-guitar. Weeeell…

Guitar Hero III to get wireless controllers for PS3, Wii and Xbox 360
Isn’t Guitar Hero the only console game where you’d actually want a cabled controller? Busting hot riffs while popping scissor kicks in your spray-on leather kecks ain’t the same if you’re not constantly fighting not to trip over a flailing wire, after all. But still, it seems that the upcoming Guitar Hero III will come with wireless guitars on all three formats: PS3, Wii and Xbox 360.
Guitar Legend: like Guitar Hero but on your mobile phone
Guitar Hero! Rawk! You should see my hot riffs. But surely it’s one console game that’ll never get converted to run on mobile phones…
But no. Mobile games publisher Gameloft hasn’t got the official Guitar Hero licence, but it has released a mobile game called Guitar Legend that uses the same core gameplay. So it’s all about pressing buttons according to notes travelling towards you on a guitar neck.
Suck at Guitar Hero? Fool your friends with the Guitar Heronoid robot
Guitar Hero is without a doubt one of the most enjoyable games available, although let’s be honest with each other…we’re not very good at it, are we? I’ve just about nailed Iron Man by Black Sabbath, on the first version, but John the Fisherman by Primus, on Guitar Hero II? Bah! I’m lucky if I can match even two of the notes.
That’s when you need to call on your good mate Rafael Mizrahi, who has just created a robot called the Guitar Heronoid. Like most men I know, it’s divided into two parts – the brain, which detects and analyses the PS2 video signals and generates play-commands such as when to press the buttons, when to strum etc, and the body, which reads the play-commands and controls the twiddling fingers…
Rawk out with Gibson Guitar Hero controllers for PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii
You can’t beat a bit of air guitar. Actually, that’s a barefaced lie. You CAN beat a bit of air guitar, by swapping your imaginary instrument for a proper Guitar Hero peripheral. Activision is working on the third installment of its axe-strumming franchise, and has just unveiled the Gibson peripherals that’ll come with it.
Wii Guitar Hero III will use a guitar peripheral AND the Wiimote
Good news for Wii-owning rawk monsters. Not only is Guitar Hero III heading Wii-wards later this year, but it’ll come with the same guitar peripheral as other versions, and the connectivity that’ll allow gamers to play online and download new songs. What’s more, publisher RedOctane says the game will use the Wiimote too.
