Guitar Hero licks onto mobiles

Activision get jiggy with developer Hands-On

NEWS: 4 April 2007 7:25 GMT by Chris Ford

Following an agreement between Activision and Hands-On-Mobile, plans have been made to take Guitar Heroes to the mobile generation.

The game, originally developed by Harmonix, is a rhythm action title so it will obviously involve some sort of button pushing control instead of the guitar shaped controller of the original PS2 and Xbox versions, but no details have been released yet.

Hands-On is a veteran in mobile phone game development with World Poker Tour Texas Hold 'Em and Duckshot, and three titles based on Call of Duty games under its belt.

"The lifestyle of music is strongly immersed into our everyday culture, and having Guitar Hero on mobile platforms will now allow our dedicated fans the opportunity to passionately feel the music, anytime and anywhere", said Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane.

"Hands-On Mobile has extensive experience and success in bringing established franchises to mobile phones, and we greatly look forward to extending the Guitar Hero brand to mobile users."
