Guitar Hero publisher RedOctane has today fully launched its dedicated European Website which offers information, downloads and an online store where consumers can buy the smash hit game. A number of accessories - which include additional Gibson SG controllers, carry cases and clothing - will be online shortly.

With each guitarist battling for the appreciation of the crowd, choosing when to play the guitar upright in order to active the all-important 'star power' bonuses becomes more important than ever.

"We're delighted to be able to offer European consumers a localized site which features information specific to their territories," says Dave Noble, RedOctane. "Guitar Hero is a game which is ridiculously thrilling as a solo performance, but it really comes alive when two guitarists are battling it out against one another. Whilst we are unable to offer a significant amount of additional controllers at the moment, we're hoping the few we do have available will go down well with those keenest to play with a friend."
