JOHNNY CASH TO MAKE VIDEO GAME DEBUT IN GUITAR HERO® 5
Multiple Grammy Award winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and legendary
singer-songwriter Johnny Cash will be introduced to an all new audience this
fall as he makes his video game debut as a playable character in the highly
anticipated Guitar Hero® 5. Cash’s virtual image will live on as Guitar Hero
players can rock out on any instrument controller to “Ring Of Fire,” and even
unlock the ability to strum and sing along as the “Man in Black” himself in the
all-new Electric Honky Tonk Bar venue. Cash joins the ever-growing list of
playable in-game artists announced for Guitar Hero 5.
This September, living room legends will rock any way they want in Guitar Hero
5. The entire set list is at players’ finger tips from the start, featuring
genre-defining hits from more than 80 of the biggest rock artists and bands of
all time, including The Rolling Stones, The White Stripes, Kings of Leon, Tom
Petty, Bob Dylan and Vampire Weekend, plus more than 25 artists from a variety
of music genres that will be making their music video game debut. Players take
complete control as Guitar Hero 5 allows gamers to personalize and customize how
they experience music by being able to play with any in-game instrument
combination — multiple vocalists, guitarists, bassists and drummers, in any
game mode. With the game’s all-new Party Play Mode, getting the band back
together has never been easier. Players can now jump in or drop out of gameplay
seamlessly, without interrupting their jam session. Elevating the Guitar Hero®
series to new heights with unmatched social gameplay, an enhanced style, new
in-game artists and more rock legends, Guitar Hero 5 features new surprises and
challenges that will fire-up long-time fret board fanatics and create a new
generation of addicts.
