Is it still worth playing?
A 2008 rhythm game from Neversoft, the fourth main Guitar Hero, and the first in the series with drum and microphone controllers for percussion and vocal parts. Up to four players can play together as a virtual band with guitar, bass, drums and vocals. Hitting notes raises the score and the Rock Meter that represents how the song is going, while missed notes are not scored and lower the meter. A Music Studio mode lets you create new songs, which can be uploaded and shared through a service called GHTunes. A touch pad on the guitar controller enables tapping and sliding, and the new drum kit has raised cymbals. A band of four plastic instruments still makes it a game to play together.
