Guitar Hero 4 – One Game Many Options
There are many different game modes in guitar Hero 4. Each variation
on the main game concept has unique features that help tailor the game
to your mood, interests, and number of players. Plus, playing different
modes lets you add new content to your game. In competitive modes, like
the Career scenario, you earn virtual money to buy new clothes for your
avatar, guitar styles, and more.
Meanwhile, in the “Studio Mode” you can remix your own new tunes.
If playing alone, you may want to start with “Career Mode.” In career
mode, you select a single instrument and a character to play as. Then,
you fill your band with computer personas and play “gigs,” which are
sets of several songs in a row. You will also have to compete against
virtual “bosses” modeled on real rock stars. As you succeed in your
career, you will earn virtual money to buy new songs, clothing, etc. If
you don’t want to play a full career, you can also use single-player
features in a free play mode or to create your own music using the
in-game composer.
Although fun to play alone, Guitar Hero 4 is aimed at playing with
other people. Up to 8 players can participate simultaneously. You can
choose from several modes that allow you to either compete with your
friends or team up with them. There is even a multiplayer version of the
“Career Mode” where you must work together as a full band. In “Band
Career Mode,” you need at least one other live players. However, not all
the players need to select the same level of difficulty. This makes it
easier to play with friends and family of different skill levels.
Even after you beat “Career Mode,” there is still more to do as you
can replay it at a different level or with a different instrument. You
can also decide to play a shorter round with the “Quickplay” experience.
In “Quickplay” mode, either a single player or a group of players
selects a list of up to six songs. Game play continues until the entire
set has been played. You can still earn virtual money in this shorter
scenario and “Quickplay” also makes it easier to compete against friends
in a more casual atmosphere.
Guitar Hero 4 has also added a special game mode just for the Wii
gaming platform. Called “Mii Freestyle,” this game mode allows you to
play Guitar Hero 4 as your Mii avatar. You can then create improvised
songs using the guitar, drumsticks, or even the Wii remote. This feature
makes the game especially appealing to Wii users, who previously could
not even download new music in earlier Guitar Hero games.
The final mode in Guitar Hero 4 is the “Music Studio.” In this part
of the game, you can create your own songs. Once finished, your custom
tunes can be played in other game modes. They can also be shared with
other players around the world via an internet connection. After you
make a song, the game automatically adjusts it so it can be played at
every difficulty level.
Ultimately, Guitar Hero 4 has created modes of play to suit every
type of player. If you love to battle it out with friends, there are
options for that. If you prefer to play alone, you can do that too. You
can even play with other band members online. With all these options, it
is unlikely this game will ever get old or boring. |
