Guitar Hero: Aerosmith puts the player in the shoes of "America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band" as they evolve from unknowns to rock superstars. In a guitar hero game dedicated to the band that is Aerosmith!
Overview
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is the second spin-off of the popular Guitar Hero series. It is developed by Neversoft and published by Activision, and is was released on June 29, 2008.The game contains a story that mirrors the band's career, progressing from Aerosmith's first show at Nipmuc Regional High School in 1970 to the band's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.The game's six tiers are broken up by short videos featuring the members of Aerosmith talking about the importance of that tier's venue to the band (i.e., the experience of being signed at Max's Kansas City when that venue is reached). Longer versions of those videos can be purchased from the in-game store.
The playable characters include the standard characters from Guitar Hero III, such as Axel Steel, Johnny Napalm, and Lars Umlaut. New additions are Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, and Brad Whitford of Aerosmith. It also features DMC of Run-DMC, who takes over as the lead singer when the player plays King of Rock or Run-DMC's version of Walk this Way, as well as being a playable guitarist.
