Guitar Hero is a video game that uses a guitar-shaped device to simulate the playing of lead, bass guitar and rhythm guitar across numerous rock music songs. Players match notes that scroll on-screen to the colored fret buttons on the controller, strumming the controller in time to the music in order to score points, and keep the virtual audience excited. The game initially used mostly cover version of songs, but most recent titles feature soundtracks that are fully master recordings, and in some cases, special re-recordings, of the songs.
The game currently has seven major releases and four expansions on gaming consoles, and with spinoffs for Windows and Macintosh systems, mobile phones, the Nintendo DS, and an arcade game, with several more titles announced for future release. The Guitar Hero franchise has become a cultural phenomenon and has impacted both the video game and the modern music industry. The first game in the series was considered by several journalists to be one of the most influential video games of the first decade of the 21st century.
