Guitar Hero Live introduces a new guitar controller with six buttons, including two rows of three buttons designed to make things easier. Activision says it will "make it easier for beginners to play and harder for veterans to master." Two new modes include GH Live (a first-person point of view where you play in front of a crowd that reacts to how you perform) and GHTV (a playable music video network). A mobile version is available as a bundle with a guitar controller that works across Apple devices. Additionally, players can sing along in the game with lyrics on screen, adding another way to play together in the same living room. Additional features include GHTV: a live, real time network that lets you play along with others. If you plug in a USB mic, you can sing with the lyrics on the screen.
