You’ll need to have rock-star money to afford new iOS rhythm game Guitar Hero Live.
That’s because, in a break from previous titles in the hard-rocking series, this one features a $49.99 in-app purchase for the full version, which includes well over 40 tracks.
Yep, to paraphrase This Is Spinal Tap, this price goes to 11!
Not every country can access Guitar Hero Live, which was released today by Activision Blizzard. So far, it’s available in North America, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and a few other places — although Europeans like myself (I’m based in the U.K.) will have to wait a bit longer to get our hands on it.
Gamers who can download it don’t have to get the premium version; there’s a free version that essentially amounts to a demo with two trial songs.
Personally, I’m a bit torn on the whole price-point issue. I’ve long argued that I’d rather have premium games on iOS than ones clogged with ads or demanding micropayments every time you want to do something. With that said … $49.99? That’s around $25 more than I would ideally like to spend.
The game does look pretty sweet, though. Check out the trailer below.
