Guitar Hero Live vs Music Hero
Guitar Hero Live
Guitar Hero Live is the Guitar Hero that Activision came up with after a long 5-year hiatus in the series. Featuring a recorded "live" audience, this game brings you a lot closer to actually being on stage playing to a crowd than ever before. In addition, your bandmates will react as they play alongside you as well. Try the game's first-person view and you'll get to feel like one of the band members as you play!One of the hallmarks of the Guitar Hero series, aside from its iconic guitar controller, is the insane music variety. From Ed Sheeran to System of a Down, to even indie bands, you can find a ton of your favorite songs to strum your plastic guitar to in this game. The game also has a multiplayer feature called Rivals where you can have a showdown with another player online. The best part about this game though is the Guitar Hero TV (GHTV). This allows your friends to enjoy the music video which is live-streamed in the background as you play to the music.
Playing music in front of what supposedly is a live audience is very different from playing for the sake of getting a perfect combo score. This is exactly the experience that Guitar Hero Live is trying to provide through its gameplay and it did a really great job of it.
Music Hero
Music Hero is a pretty fun music rhythm game that you can play on your mobile. It features a simple 3-line tapping system where you will need to tap on the notes as they reach the bottom. The more accurate you are, the higher score you'll get. Aside from the flashy animations and brilliant effects, the notes are synced to the music as well, at least the ones available on the app.That being said, Music Hero is perhaps the only app on Google Play to allow you to add your own music to the game and play it. In this case, the notes may not sync at all, but well, at least you can actually play the songs you like!
The game also comes in 3 difficulty levels but if you're a veteran at this sort of rhythm-based tapping games, you might find the game a bit less challenging. However, this means that Music Hero is a great game for new, entry-level players to enjoy the genre.
