Guitar Hero Live vs Lara Croft: Relic Run
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.
Lara Croft: Relic Run
Lara Croft: Relic Run is a thrilling endless runner game where you get to once again join adventurer extraordinaire, Lara Croft, as she dashes through various ancient ruins in search of valuable artifacts to recover. With simply a swipe, you can make her swan dive off high cliffs or swing across using helpful vines like Tarzan. However, interestingly, you may also encounter ruthless rivals who won't hesitate to shoot you... unless of course, you shoot them first!The best part about this game though is the game's brilliant Curse system. Much like the dreaded "Draw 4" cards in UNO, players can send curses to their friends in order to ruin their run. However, if you managed to survive the curse intact, you will be rewarded with a chance to get sweet, sweet revenge by sending a curse of your own in return!
Featuring gorgeous graphics and a fun and unique gameplay, Lara Croft: Relic Run is not a game that relies too heavily on the popularity of the game franchise it is based on. In fact, if you enjoy endless runner games, you should play this game regardless of whether you knew who Lara Croft is. It's that good!
