I got this game for my mobile phone a while ago: "Guitar hero III - backstage pass", I had played a lot of guitar emulators before on my phone, such as Guitar hero 3, which is awesome! great selection of songs such as "black magic woman" by Santana or "Monsters" by Matchbook romance (Or matchbox as is labeled all over the net) and other stuff that just makes it awesome, I busted the 4 and 6 keys on my phone playing it. Kick ass.
Then is the Gameloft version: Guitar rock tour (or "Guitar legend get on stage" as you can find it, it just has some little changes), another awesome game!, whenever I remember this game, I hear "Banquet" by Bloc party playing on my head; good animations, good songs, I crapped when I saw "Run to the hills" there, great! the songs are complete when you play on free mode, the "story" mode runs smooth and using five keys instead of the usual three was an interesting great idea, a little hard first but when you get the rhythm, it just kicks ass.
Also found another one: "Guitar hero world tour"; I'm a big fan of this kind of games, this one is good, not a lot of different things from guitar hero 3, just animations are a little shittier, good game... but it's fucking hard, I'm not that bad of a player nor I'm the best, but I busted my fucking ass trying to finish it on medium! fuck is it hard! my thumbs are still aching like shit!
But then it this one, Guitar hero III-bsp; I was wondering, what's so backstage about it? I popped the fucker in and fuck man... this game is fucking shit!! You play in the idea that you are trying to be a band, good idea, busting your ass up the charts was great, more emulation of a band sounds good; you have to rehearse your songs and as you rehearse you can play in bars, stadiums, festivals and all that, you have a "fame" counter, also a "buzz" and a "cred" one wich you increase as you play on stages or on the streets, that was awesome, more realistic, the songs are cool and the animations are smooth.
But... what so shitty about this? didn't I say it was shit? am I fucking insane or what?... here's the deal... this fucking game slaughtered the guitar hero idea of playing songs! when you give a concert, you get to choose one or five songs to play (I don't know if more, I'm not that far) depending on if the place is a bar or a stadium, when you start playing, you have a target score to achieve, if you don't achieve it, it's ok, but you won't get that famous because of the shitty concert, ok, you play the first song and it ends halfway, yeah, I know it's a common thing, but then, you don't fucking play anymore! then you play this shitty fucking not self explanatory minigames about throwing the guitar or sliding across stage to the spotlight or catching underwear from the crowd, man, what the fuck! I should be playing the other songs I chose! better, I SHOULD BE FUCKING PLAYING GUITAR!!!! NOT CATCHING UNDERWEAR!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!! And if you fuck up the minigames, your score comes down and the concert is shit! so busting your thumbs to get the song right ends up being worthless bullshit!!! And you get other minigames, like: "your fan needs help, play somewhere and score 5 stars" FIVE STARS?! it's fucking hard to get 4! but 5! and if you fuck up and get 4 or less, your fame comes down! what a shit fuck!!
To wrap this up, the game is good on the band emulation thing and the visuals and all that, but I think I should have played more guitar than other thing, anyway it's a Guitar hero, not a "Throw the guitar to the roof hero". The minigames thing (I keep calling them minigames) is good, but it's not well blended in this one. I hope that if a new Guitar hero comes out for the mobile phone, this will be better made.
Thanks for reading my first review, I hope more will come on anything i feel like reviewing.
