About Gitaroo Man

From the archive

This is the original PS2Home fact sheet for Gitaroo Man, preserved from the early-2000s archive. Details reflect the PAL release as catalogued at the time.

Official fact sheet

Gitaroo-Man is a quirky Koei game that centers around U-Ichi, a young boy, who is the last surviving guitar man (what about Ralf Machio). Guitar men are heroes who use their instruments as weapons against evil and young U-Ichi is joined by his dog Puma who can transform into a ghetto blaster. The gameplay follows the usual traditions of the rhythm genre and the success of attacks is base on how well the moves match the music.

  • Music, the weapon of choice! Stunning high-quality graphics draws the player deep into a world where music is everything and the beat will set him free
  • A new style of musical rhythm game! Keeping with the rhythm, shoot, duck and dodge your way to victory!
  • Even for the tone-deaf! The game is geared to all comers to experience the fun of rock, the groove or reggae and other great music types!
  • Musical death matches and harmonising team play for up to 4 players.
