Guitar Hero Live vs Just Dance Now
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.
Just Dance Now
Just Dance Now is a dancing simulation/rhythm game developed by Ubisoft which marked the franchise's very first appearance on the mobile platform. The game is very easy to set up and can be insanely fun to play, especially with friends. You simply need an internet-connected screen, which can be your smart TV, your computer or even an iPad, and your smartphone to play. The smartphone works as your controller and will record your movement via its gyroscope function, while the screen will show you what moves you'll need to do.The game houses over 300 hits and constantly is being updated with new songs, so you'll definitely be able to find your favorite tunes to dance to. You can even customize your own playlists of songs to dance to. Songs aren't all free however and will require time and effort to unlock. That being said, the game doesn't really have a limit on how many players who can connect to your game, allowing you to have fun playing this with your family or even with all your friends at a party.
The best feature, however, goes to Heathkit. It functions by roughly measuring how much calories you've burned per song. How cool is that?
Just Dance Now brings all the fun the Just Dance series has to offer and one-up all of them by making the game a whole lot more social and hence, entertaining. It's a crazy fun game to play even if you have two left feet.
