Top 10 Best Music Video Games

All the rhythm-based video games the world has seen, and the best of them.

The Top Ten

  1. Rock Band 2

    This game is neck-and-neck with Guitar Hero III. I think this is slightly better. It is definitely better than Guitar Hero 5, which is still a great game.

    Yes! You can go from being a small-town local band to becoming the biggest band in the world!

    Great songs. Great tour mode. Definitely one of my favorites!

  2. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

    I got this game the day I got my first Xbox 360. I was so confused about what this game was and how it was played. When I first started playing, I sucked at it.

    But after a while of practice, I got much better - like I was really learning to play guitar. This is the one game on this list that I still haven't beaten on Expert. I can never get past Before I Forget. It's a real pain.

    In short, this game is a masterpiece for its music choice and its difficulty. I love it, and you should too.

    This series fueled my love for rock and metal. And the third game is my favorite. It is a classic that never dies for me. I still play PS2 games in 2023.

  3. Guitar Hero: Metallica

    Guitar Hero: Metallica is the most heavy-metal game ever played. It has the best of Metallica's songs. It's unlike the other Guitar Hero games. I don't even know why this is the third one on the list. This should be the first!

  4. Guitar Hero: Smash Hits

  5. Rock Band

  6. Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock

  7. Guitar Hero II

  8. The Beatles: Rock Band

    A great, easy-going rhythm game with awesome graphics based on the Beatles' music.

  9. Guitar Hero 5

    The song selection on Guitar Hero 5 is so diverse. The game developers clearly put some effort into deciding what was going into the product, which I very much appreciated.

    Best music game, seriously! It has Looks That Kill, Lithium, You Give Love a Bad Name, and many more awesome rock hits! It's way better than Rock Band 2!

  10. Guitar Hero

    11. The Newcomers

    Cytus II

    Free during the anniversary. One of the best music games ever made.

    13. The Contenders

  13. Osu!

    Amazing game. Definitely should be at least in the top 5.

  14. UmJammer Lammy

    Calling this game's main campaign the craziest thing I've ever played would be a bit of an understatement.

  15. Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

  16. Dance Dance Revolution: SuperNova

    Great music and characters. Diverse rhythmic levels. Really fun too, especially if your friends are rhythmically challenged.

  17. Deemo

    This should be at least around the top 10. Really good rhythm game! Come on, guys, vote for this game.

  18. Rock Band 3

    This has to be the next best game. I mean, it has pro instruments to help me become an actual pro drummer, guitarist, keyboard player, or even singer. This game has some good songs, but it is life-changing and has helped me in my career (in REAL LIFE!).

    This is by far the greatest music game of all time.

  19. HarmoKnight

  20. Audiosurf

  21. Karmaflow: The Rock Opera Videogame

  22. Lost in Harmony

    Great soundtrack (available on YouTube), combined with an absorbing and emotional main story.

  23. Arcaea

    New dimension game - hard for beginners and heaven for experts.

  24. Brütal Legend

  25. Gitaroo Man

  26. Vib-Ribbon

  27. Guitar Hero: World Tour

    Guitar Hero World Tour is the best, extremely closely followed by Metallica.
