The Guitar Hero video game series are a rhythm-game series originally created by Harmonix and RedOctane, but was later bought out by Activision and developed by Neversoft.

Sometime in the early to mid s, hardware developer RedOctane discovered a rhythm game made by Konami called Guitar Freaks, which used a Guitar shaped controller and featured a rock and roll based soundtrack. This game had only been released in Japan, and RedOctane was confident they could make a very similar game, with a comparable Guitar controller, in the west.

They partnered with rhythm game developer Harmonix, and released Guitar Hero in November of The first game was extremely successful, prompting sequel, Guitar Hero II , a year later. Activision chose a compay called Neversoft to develop the next entry in the Guitar Hero series. Neversoft introduced more instruments in the fourth main series instalment, Guitar Hero World Tour , likely in an attempt to compete with Rock Band, which had released not too long after Guitar Hero III. From that point on, the Guitar Hero series became more focused on full band gameplay.

Due to the lack of rhythm games in sales, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock was Neversoft's final Guitar Hero game and would be the last Guitar Hero game to be developed for several years. This reboot proved unsuccessful.
