Guitar Hero Live is a rhythm video game that reinvents the franchise with a first-person perspective in the GH Live mode, placing you on stage with real crowds reacting to your performance, and the GHTV mode, a music video network where you play along to a library of songs. It introduced an updated guitar controller with a 2x3 button layout and was praised for its innovation but criticized for its first-person view's authenticity and the controversial use of a play token system for accessing songs on GHTV.
