Featuring a reasonably sturdy Gibson SG controller (now in fire red) complete with Whammy Bar and tilt sensor, game play centres around the five “fret” keys and the strum toggle. Boiling down to select a character, guitar, difficulty level, venue and importantly song, the fledgling hero is well on there way to music immortality. Well almost. The actual game is the epitome of the ‘pick-up-and-play’ style so enjoyed by this sub-genre. All you really have to do is pick the note and strum in time with the music. You will soon know when you get it wrong as there are visual and obviously, audio indications. There is of scoring system of sorts, involving multiplyers and 'star power' which kicks in when you give your instrument a whirl. You can now select from Rhythm, Lead and Bass tracks, a variety of multiplayer modes (if you have a second Guitar controller) as well as the all important song list, now expanded to 55 (see page two of this review for a list). New graphics show the on screen players synchronizing well with your own rockin’ licks. But who has time to check out the graphics, hitting the notes, maximising your score and developing stance and clothing style will be your focus.
