Epic

This is the only phone game I've played in months lol. The fake songs are pretty good, they're close enough to the originals to enjoy and most of the songs are fun to play I just don't know all of them lol. There aren't really any BIG complaints I have except I still have ads and there are ads like before and after every song and sometimes they show up late and make you miss part of a song. Sometimes the ads glitch out too and you have to close the app and go back in but those aren't too bad and I should probably just buy something to get rid of ads since I like the game so much anyway. Final complaints, frequently when I'm doing double notes and stuff I mess up cause my thumbs are fat but I don't know how that could be fixed, and i wish that there were more ways to get the gold coins or you got more from 10 victory cases or things cost less cause most people don't want to or can't blow money on a phone game, and SOME people (cough cough me cough) want slash's or Zakk's guitar without playing for 4 years non stop hehe. ANYWAY besides those the game is epic the upgrade system thing is pretty nice and the equalized bonus is cool and the guitars are cool and the disc system reminds me of like overwatch competitive score which is kinda broken but I guess balances itself out. AND last but not least can paradise city be added as like paradise town or something lol. Huge gnr fan here.

Absolutely AMAZING, however-

This game is 100%. Ive read a few other reviews and I definitely agree about the AD thing. If you pay for no ads, i do think you should be able to get, like, a free upgrade once a day, rather than having to watch a video. However, i get when devs do this, because you get $$ if a player decides they wanna go the cheap route to upgrade. HOWEVER, bugs/glitches are yet to be fixed. I’ve played for a week and have noticed some things that players have experienced months ago. Example, sound cuts out if you get a notification or if you accidentally swipe out of the app. Another, sometimes when i press the pedal button, it glitches to where any double note hit, it only pressed one, even though i’m certain i press both. Even when this doesnt occur, the glitch in the timing of the screen causes me to lose my x4 bonus because it ticks a few beats ahead and i miss a note or two. This doesnt happen every time, but enough for it to be slightly annoying and inconvenient, as it could cost the few hundred points to the win. Other than this, the app is absolutely amazing. Very nostalgic in song choices and appearance. I like the idea of upgrading your band and customizing everything. 10/10, except for the glitches. Please fix!

Awesome BUT

This is a great game hands down. Im sitting here reminiscing the good ol days when i use to rock out with Guitar Hero. This feels that void everything about this game is fantastic probably one of the best mobile games ive ever downloaded and very addicting EXCEPT i feel like once you pay for the AD FREE version i shouldnt have to watch a 30 second video to upgrade my stuff. Everything should be a click and boom upgrade no 30 second videos no ads nothing i feel like its a bit of false advertising with ads when i purchased ad free. Also, how do you change your name? I got my band name but under my band name in my profile it says “No Name” and it doesnt really explain how to change your name. This should be addressed too. Aside from that there are minor bugs/glitches like when pressing notes it causes you to miss the note even though you definitely hit it. Ive noticed this alot and im playing most of my songs on pro and legendary. I can 100% a song several times and then when im battleing other players same song same difficulty i hit the double notes and it only registers 1 note being hit. Also, maybe add a friend list type deal to challenge friends or family. Me and my daughter been playing and i think it would be cool to challenge her. Other than that GREAT game. Awesome.

Addicting fun, but can start to feel stale

I picked up the game a few weeks ago and I can’t resist but play it at least once a day. The difference in levels are obvious and I enjoy practicing songs in Pro and Legendary level to get 3 stars. The battles aren’t too difficult and I’ve only lost a few as I’ve ranked up to Stage 9. Earning money isn’t difficult and doesn’t feel impossible to accomplish objectives. The only downsides I’d have to say, is for one, the song catalog isn’t very big, maybe less than 50 songs, and a lot repeat throughout, at just different levels. Also, even at a level pretty high, there are still a good number of good songs locked behind a VIP only option, despite saying that I’ve unlocked it. Another questionable downside would probably be the guitar choices and design elements. It could definitely be improved. However overall, it’s a fun game and can definitely get addicting after a while. Would recommend

Rigged

This is a decent game. The gameplay is nice, the adjustments to the songs aren’t a problem and I even find myself humming these versions throughout the day. The big problem with this game is the difficulty as levels increase. Once you hit 2000 discs you transition from medium to hard automatically. Not a problem because practice does help. The issue is that as you move up in the battle mode it gets to the point where missing one note will cost you the match every single time. On the flip side, you get a perfect and check the score and your opponent isn’t anywhere near you. I also doubt that these are live matches because a) a match is found immediately every time and b) your opponents seem to use all their boosts each time and at about the exact same time in each song. I’ve also had big leads heading into the last ten seconds of the song as opponents starting compiling points in extremely large chunks and end up beating me. Also, what’s the deal with your perfect calculator? If my opponent beats me and I get a perfect, the bonus always says 10% but it’s always just enough to win. I would recommend this game, just be ready to be frustrated in the later levels. Patience is a virtue I guess. It is also totally worth it to make a small purchase to eliminate the ads. Especially because they run that stupid sniper ad and sometimes my young son is watching over my shoulder.

Good at first then gets bad, quick! DON’T BUY ANYTHING!

At first it was fun and I was enjoying the game. I almost bought the VIP package to unlock all songs. THANK GOODNESS I DIDN’T! After getting to level 2.5 I noticed the songs stopped downloading and I’m now unable to play unless I buy a song using tokens. Even songs I WON in events or watched ads for won’t play. It just says “downloading song” for like a minute and then says “error occurred”. It does this for all songs except the ones you pay tokens for! How scammy is that? And it’s not my device or my internet because everything else works fine. The only way I can play is to play solo, which doesn’t give disk levels or events. And it turns out the songs you win in events you can’t even keep because why is a song I won’t in an event have an ad on the play button when I try to do battles?? Scammy. I don’t recommend for any long time play. Playing this game once or twice at an airport to pass time, sure. Long term and give the devs money? NO! Do not do it. You will waste your money and support development team that scams people. The game has nice graphics and stuff but none of that matters when you can’t even play :/ There are other apps that are better than this one and you can actually play the songs you win. They aren’t locked behind a pay wall or ad wall.

Constant decline in fun in the game

I started this game a few years back and I always like the game overall. Sometimes I don’t play it quite as much and then there will be something new about it the next time I open the game. Usually nothing too big of a deal, but the most recent time that I opened the game, there was an abundance of ads that sometimes even blocked the score when I was playing a song. Add that onto the fact that it was lagging a lot, I doubt due to my Wi-Fi connection, I found it really hard to play. Also, whenever I would mess up in a song, it was obvious because the wrong note was played over the audio of the song. Imagine you get a new job and you’re trying to do something but as soon as you mess up, you’ve got your manager right there yelling in your ear that you’re wrong…this probably would make it really hard to keep focusing on getting it right. That’s kinda what it feels like with the notes. It focuses on when you get something wrong and makes it hard to get other notes right. These added up together makes it hard for me to continue playing the game. I like it as a game idea but the execution is getting worse.

Ummm.. mixed emotions

Okay... This game is very addictive and I love it so much. But there are many many flaws! To start the number one concern and honestly kind of scares me, is that the game has some sort of access to my camera roll Because in the game there is a little logo by your band name that you could to create. Now whenever I click “ready” to start a game a picture of me that I took on the beach pops up onto the logo. I never remembered the game asking me for access to my camera roll... and even if it did I still would have said no. Because this game doesn't need that kind of information. So that’s the biggest reason why it’s getting two stars. In addition I barely win any games I don’t know if I’m playing against people even if I get a perfect score I still end up loosing. And that’s very frustrating as well. And also sometimes it will be very laggy and skipping beats and pausing and right when it un-pauses the person or computer or whoever I’m playing against is 300 points ahead of me and I can’t catch up with only 10 seconds... so yeah thoes are my two major complaints if that could be fixed that would be great because I still do love this game...

A free multiplayer game that brings the best mix of bands and rhythm for mobiles and tablets, with amazing guitars for you to test your skills on.
