Guitar Hero Live vs N.O.V.A. 1
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.
N.O.V.A. 1

Thankfully, humanity has already created huge artificial satellites for people to live on and in their defense, N.O.V.A., the Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance, was born.

Aside from an epic campaign, the game also provides multiplayer matches, a worldwide leaderboard to rank its players, and up to 6 unique weapons to play with.N.O.V.A. 1 took the world by storm with its enigmatic hero, an epic "save humanity" storyline as well as brilliant graphics that just compliments the game's sci-fi theme.
