Story:Guitar Hero is a 2005 music rhythm video game developed by Harmonix and published by RedOctane for the PlayStation 2. It is the first entry in the Guitar Hero series. Guitar Hero was released in November 2005 in North America, April 2006 in Europe and June 2006 in Australia. The game's development was a result of collaboration between RedOctane and Harmonix to bring a Guitar Freaks-like game to United States. The game features a guitar-shaped controller (resembling a miniature Gibson SG) that the player uses to simulate playing rock music. The gameplay is similar to GuitarFreaks, in that the player presses buttons on the guitar controller in time with musical notes that scroll on the game screen. The game features covers of 30 popular rock songs spanning five decades of rock, from the 1960s up through 2005, in addition to bonus tracks. Guitar Hero became a surprise hit, earning critical acclaim and winning many awards from major video game publications, and was considered one of the most influential games of the first decade of the 21st century. The game's success launched the Guitar Hero franchise, which has earned more than $2 billion in sales, spawning several sequels, expansions, and other game-related products.Show more

Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks The '80sGuitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s (titled Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s in Europe) is a music video game and the third installment in the popular Guitar Hero series. It was released in July 2007 in North America and Europe, and in August 2007 in Australia. Players use a guitar-shaped controller (purchased separately) to simulate playing rock music by hitting notes as they scroll towards the player. Rocks the 80s is an incremental title in the Guitar Hero series, rather than a full sequel. No changes in gameplay from Guitar Hero II have been introduced to this game. As implied by the game's title, the game features a 1980s theme, consisting of songs from the decade and playable characters, fashions, and artwork that reflect the time period.

Persona 4: Dancing All NightPersona 4: Dancing All Night is a story-driven music game of the cult hit RPG Persona 4, developed by ATLUS. Replacing the RPG elements are dance battles that challenge players' dexterity and accuracy, as they tap out re-mixes of fan-favorite themes and brand new music tracks. The storyline continues from after the events of Persona 4, when the teenage mega-idol, Rise Kujikawa, returns to the city to re-take her show biz career. During that time, a strange video appears on the internet and the unfortunate people who watched it have gone missing! Members of Kanamin Kitchen, Rise's junior idol group, have disappeared and it's up to the Investigation team to mount a rescue mission - only they discover the same monstrous Shadows from the Midnight Channel. To make matters even worse, their Persona abilities are rendered ineffective, and the Shadows in P4D can only be defeated by dance, so bust out powerful dance moves to save the day!

Beatmania IIDX 32 Pinky Crush
Beatmania IIDX 32 Pinky Crush“beatmania IIDX 32 Pinky Crush” is a combination of “Pink”, a vivid and pure image color, and “Crush”, a radical image typical of IIDX. Until now, there has been a version that emphasizes the concept of HAPPY and EUPHORIC image along with the trend of dance music, but in this concept, the exaltation of the image that stands out even more, and players can participate in one large music festival through beatmania IIDX. We are sending you images that allow you to experience a sense of elation. We asked the composers who participated this time to create bright and exciting images overall, and requested them to be produced in various forms by incorporating the styles that each individual is good at. While putting an easy-to-understand concept at the forefront, we are compiling music pieces that image various types of high tension, such as the vitality of a leap, anticipation of an upcoming show, the feeling of a powerful rush, etc. . (Because I think there are times when you don't feel that way, I'm also preparing cool, "crush" songs that are typical of IIDX!) In addition, this time, we have lined up a number of popular songs that match the concept of beatmania IIDX and are fun to listen to and play. Then feel the tension of beatmania IIDX 32 Pinky Crush.
