Hands-On Mobile has announced that they have signed a deal with Activision to bring Guitar Hero to mobile phones.

On consoles, Guitar Hero and its sequel Guitar Hero II allow you to play a wide variety of songs using a custom controller designed to look like a guitar. 5 buttons on the neck correspond to 5 ‘notes’ that appear in the game and must be pressed in certain orders.

“Guitar Hero is an epic game experience that has mushroomed into a cultural phenomenon,” said Erik Pavelka, Vice President of Business Development at Hands-On Mobile. “We are thrilled to bring this award-winning franchise to mobile and to continue our successful relationship with Activision.”

There are no details yet about controls for handhelds or what songs will be included in the game.
