Guitar Hero to invade the Google Android Market

This edition of Guitar Hero will feature music from Deep Purple and Guns N' Roses among others, and will be one of a few paid applications for purchase off the Android Market. It'll be playable on any Android OS phone, which is currently just the G1.
Guitar Hero "Android Edition" (not the official name, but we think it sounds nice) will join EA's catalog of games in the surprisingly empty gaming section of the Google phone marketplace. We can, however, be certain that if Guitar Hero becomes a sales hit, Activision will continue to churn out sequel after sequel for the Google OS. It's the Acti way.

Maybe it'll be in the vein of Tap Tap on the iPhone/iPod Touch.

Or maybe it will be like the ridiculously horrible GH for Blackberry. It hurts just thinking about it.

now this is just sad. give those poor guitar heroes some time to rest in between gigs. if call of duty wasn't an activision series, i wouldn't ever buy a game of theirs now that EA has brutal legend.

What Android really needs is a KILLER APP.
I wonder if anyone is developing one, lol.

Only one possible response to this:
How did each of these analysts predict the console wars and third-party publisher rankings shaping up three years ago?

Seriously. Why must my comments be abused like so....

The good thing is that the G1 is getting games (compared to the craptacular iPhone). The bad thing is that it's guitar hero.

It would be difficult for me to care less about what Activision does with this franchise. Rock Band two years ago my music rhythm time and there has yet to be a reason to reconsider. Best hardware support (Ion drums/Mad Catz bass), best DLC (weekly) and all of it carries forward to the best party game platform yet (RB2).
Activision might be winning some sales battles, but we all know where the action is.

Finally we'll be seeing something! Developers are waiting with some really interesting content that will finally start getting released, like Guitar Hero. Here's an interesting article.
