Game description: Music is all you need to tame the beasts in Gitaroo-Man. As U-1, descendant of the legendary Gitaroo-Man, it's up to you to save the planet from the clutches of the evil Gravillian family. To accomplish this heroic feat, you must press buttons that correspond to onscreen commands. If executed successfully, your health meter goes up while the enemies' health meter diminishes. Gitaroo-Man also features both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes in which players perform different parts of the music.
The player character is U-1, a young boy who is frequently ridiculed by classmates and passed over by Little Pico, the girl of his dreams. The story proper begins when Puma, a dog with the ability to speak, teaches U-1 to play the guitar, simultaneously teaching the controls of the game to the player, and subsequently revealing to him that he is the last legendary hero of Planet Gitaroo, and the possessor of the Last Gitaroo. When they are then attacked, Puma transforms into Puma AC-30 and gives U-1 the Gitaroo, transforming him into Gitaroo Man.
