Not sure how successful “live” sections are in practice

Successfully reinvents music gaming's core mechanics, Uses those new mechanics to create surprising, inventive note patterns, Makes new music more accessible for casual players
Desperate, out of touch presentation is made even worse by hammy acting, Bizarre song choices don't suit Guitar Hero's gameplay, Freemium platform limits your ability to access the content you really want

Guitar Hero TV revolutionizes the genre, Guitar Hero Live is a new approach for the series, Welcome back, music videos, Ever-expanding soundtrack
On-disc tracks are far from enticing, Requires new plastic instrument purchase
Guitar Hero Live gives us an offline first-person rock-and-roll fantasy, but it's Guitar Hero TV that gives this series new life. The new guitar gives veterans new challenges while breaking down the barrier to entry for new players. While the on-disc trac...
Abstract: This E3, we got a chance to stop by the Actvision booth and try out Guitar Hero Live. They are looking to make a break from the old format of rhythm games, introducing a brand new guitar and new gameplay to go along with it. It is a profoundly new experi...

You don't need to buy a video game console to play Guitar Hero Live, cross-platform iCloud saves are great, The new TV mode revitalizes the genre, Pre-rendered visuals are surprisingly appealing
The Apple TV tvOS version is glitchy, No ability to download TV songs or even Live songs
