Last weekend my boyfriend popped to town to get some lunch and came back with Guitar Hero. Girls - if you need a bit of time to yourself this is the perfect gift for your partner, it will keep them entertained for hours if not days. Guitar hero is an interactive computer game that comes with a plastic guitar (almost full size) and a DVD for your PS2. The guitar has five different colour buttons on the left that play different sounds and a strumming button on the body of the guitar.

The DVD is a compilation of kick ass rock songs from 1980’s hits to recent popular anthems; you will probably know many of them so you can sing along. The scene on the TV is set in a bar with a stage for the band and a lively audience. If you are good they will cheer and if you are bad they will boo and if you are really bad you will lose the game. There are ability levels so you can start off in easy mode and progress to difficult.

The idea of the game is to play along with the band, the TV will tell you what colour button/buttons to press at what time and when you must strum. Although easy rules to follow it does get confusing when you have seven different colour combinations thrown at you in the space of 2 seconds! This game is fun for most people to play and at one point me, my boyfriend and his little sister were all fighting over whose go it was next.

You can currently purchase Guitar Hero at Amazon.co.uk for £39.99.
