Gameplay

Gitaroo Man is a rhythm game in which the player character, U-1, faces against various opponents in musical battles. In each level, both the player and opponent has a life bar, with the player tasked with depleting the opponent’s life bar and reaching the end of the song without running out of life. With some exceptions, each level consists of three main phases; Charge, Attack, and Guard, followed by the Harmony and End phases at the end of the level.

During the Charge and Attack phases, players follow a “trace line” using the analogue stick, upon which red “phase bars” will appear. By pressing and holding down the button at the start of a phase, timing it to its appearance at the center of the screen, and releasing the button at the end, the player plays music. In the Charge phase, successful notes restore the player’s health, whereas in the Attack phase, successful notes damage the opponents whilst missed notes will hurt the player.
