Guitar Hero is back! Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), today announced the pop culture phenomenon that captured the hearts of 40 million players across the globe is officially available at retail stores nationwide with the completely reinvented Guitar Hero Live. Developed by FreeStyleGames, the critically acclaimed studio behind DJ Hero and DJ Hero 2, Guitar Hero Live introduces a radically improved guitar controller, hundreds of songs and two brand new ways to play: GH Live, a first-person point of view where you play in front of a real crowd that reacts to how you perform, and GHTV, the world’s first playable music video network. The epic launch week festivities started at the Seahawks game this past Sunday with Grammy Award-winning artist Macklemore playing the game during halftime, and continued with a launch event featuring live performances by Weezer, Rival Sons and Grizfolk.
Your new guitar snaps into place, and since Paul is getting the Xbox One for Chanukah, we are all set! Peter and Paul love this one!
“Guitar Hero is one of the most beloved gaming franchises of all time, and now, after years of research and development, it’s back, totally reinvented, and better than ever with Guitar Hero Live,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “The experience of being up on stage, in first person, playing in front of a live crowd that responds to your performance in real time, will put your heart in your throat. And GHTV, which lets you play along to your favorite music videos will keep the game fresh with a continuous stream of new content. We’ve poured our hearts and souls into Guitar Hero Live and we can’t wait for fans to get their hands on it. It’s going to be awesome.”
Paul has been playing guitar for two years, and also loves to play Guitar Hero! I could not get him to pose with the game as he had to start strumming away! Also, some of my best pictures are from vacation where Peter and Paul play the arcade version and compete against each other! Peter tries his hardest, but Paul always wins. We are going to love this new addition to our home library of FUN!
