In 2005, the first Guitar Hero game was released for the PlayStation 2. Critics gave it overwhelmingly positive scores, and for a point in time, it was the best selling PS2 game. (Although eventually that title was taken by Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.) However, the original beta build of Guitar Hero was completely different from the final build. The beta remained in obscurity until a video of it was posted in 2007.
Differences
Interesting differences in the video include:
- The colors of the frets are the colors of the rainbow, with the exception of indigo and violet.
- The song "Spanish Castle Magic" was going to have vocals, as seen in the video.
- There are no hammer on or pull offs.
- The graphics and animations are different.
- The score gets built up in sections and then added to the current score, similar to the game Karaoke Revolution.
- There is no star power bar in the beta.
Availability
The only evidence for this build existing was the 1 minute and 28-second video showing "Spanish Castle Magic" with vocals. The beta build has not resurfaced anywhere, and there are no other screenshots or videos.
