    Serioiusly. C'mon already.

    I dropped by a friend's to play Guitar Hero 5 the other day. 
    It's been a long time since I touched the plastic fender stratocaster but I was looking forward to playing some Stones on a saturday. 
     
    Picking up my 'Axe' we scrolled through our choices. 
     
    Coldplay 
    The killers. 
    Bob Dylan. 
     
    WTF. C'mon. Are we reaching the bottom of the barrel for artists with sweet guitar tunes. 
    Coldplay? Practice? We talking about Practice? (AI reference). 
     
    The execution is great.  
    The presentation, graphics are all just streamlined and beautiful. 
    But when is this going to change.  
     
    Cant we just add another button to the guitar. I think a 10 button controller might make it way more fun. 
     
    We played coldplay. I got tired of coldplay. 
    We went to get waffles at ihops. 
    It was a good day.

    It doesn't appear that you played this game enough to justify a review...

    This is a very helpful review, although I think it's more or less about the end result - IHOP then Guitar Hero 5.

    dude i'm cool with you talking smack about the killers and coldplay, but keep you mouth shut about bob dylan the man is one of the all time greats.  Nobody who knows anything about music would ever disrespect bob dylan.  If you don't like his tunes, fine, but don't say bob dylan songs are bottom of the barrel

    Why oh why didn't they get the Jimi Hendrix cover? The guitar solo is totally sweet.

    So it looks like you liked everything about the game except Coldplay?
    But since Coldplay was in it, you only gave it 2 stars?
     
    One artist out of 80+ artists made you subtract 3 stars?

      I can't quite put my finger on it.  By all rights, Guitar Hero 5 can't really be all that different from World Tour, can it?  Yet, the small tweaks and improvements have gone a long way to making this entry in the series seem fresh.  The greatest addition has to be Party Play mode, which makes it incredibly easy to just start playing the game.  No menu navigation or arguing over song selection.  Simply grab an instrument and play.  Another great addition are the song-specific challenges.  These ...

      Hadn't bought one of these since Guitar Hero 3. Felt like it was time to give the genre a try again. What I was actually interested in purchasing was Rock Band 2, but there's no RB2 guitar bundle here in Europe because something. Was looking at World Tour for €60, but the latest GH guitar, GH5 and World Tour for €90 sounded enticing as I clicked the pre-order button.Turns out there's no GH5 guitar bundle in Europe either. What Activision has done is attempt to get rid of their stock of plastic W...
