New Guitar Hero game hits App Store photo

At today's Apple Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco, Activision revealed a new version of Guitar Hero for the iPhone.

The game features "classic" Guitar Hero gameplay, designed around the touch-screen interface of the iPhone -- this includes tapping mechanics, as well as a new strum system. The title features music from Queen, The Rolling Stones, Vampire Weekend, Rise Against, and more. Players will be able to customize their rocker, hopping into a virtual photo booth to share the look with friends.

Guitar Hero for the iPhone should be available today on the App Store for $2.99. The game features six playable songs, with other tracks available by downloaded, including songs by Darkest Hour, Breaking Benjamin and (holy crap) Dillinger Escape Plan.

OH GOD WHY DID I JUST BUY THIS?
I already have Rock Band and Tap Tap Revenge. Guess I just saw "Queen" and "£1.79"

I wonder if it's any good.

It has a Dillinger Escape Plan song, therefore it is the best.

It says installing. I'm excited yet apprehensive. I never play games on here for long anyway! D:

This works surprisingly well. Better than Rock Band and Guitar Rock Pro.

Ok long loading time cut down lots on second load. Really digging the music choices playing on the menu, I at least like 3 songs...

Are the servers down or am I doing something wrong?

Although good luck if you're on a 3G, it stutters and outright freezes. Basically unplayable.

If it wasn't Activision that produced this game it would've been rejected.

ok, appears to be random issues; it worked fine on my second playthrough. Althoug now I'm experiencing the same symptoms I did with Elite Beat Agents: I wish my hands were invisible.

What the heck? How would 3G or wifi affect gameplay? Is everything on a server, or do you actually download the game? If I have to be on the net to play, forget that.

6 songs on mine, no Dillinger. I've had a go with 5/6. Strumming is weird as shit, works on some songs but not on others. Wondering about online, have the feeling I'll be done before it integrates online stuff.

Mag, the 3G has a slower CPU than the 3GS, and when i play the game it randomly stutters; leaving the game with slideshow framerates for brief periods of time. It happened so frequently for me on some songs that it became completely unplayable.

Oh, I thought you meant a 3G network. Thanks!

$2.99 is actually a really cheap price. Picking that up right now.
