Guitar Hero 5
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Sep 01, 2009
The fifth game in the core Guitar Hero franchise, and the third in the series from Activision and Neversoft. Though the game goes by the Guitar Hero moniker, it features full-band gameplay like its predecessor, Guitar Hero World Tour.
Guitar Hero 5 is doing very well...
I'm surprised. Also, remember when it was a big deal if OXM gave a game a 90+ score, and then they blew it all by giving fight night Round 3 a 100? I guessed they opened the 9.5+ floodgates since then.
" the tracklist bores me so i'll pass. The beatles rock band is looking way better. I could play with my parents! "you really think the beatles is going to be better it only has 45 songs instead of 85, no character creator, most of the Beatles songs are super simplistic.
the only think its got going for it is the crazy dreamscape stuff. I don't see what people are so excited about. Now if they came out with rockband 3 I'd be like fuck you GH5

Plus its a game i could play with my gf, my parents, kids, anyone. GH5? 85 tracks of idontgiveashit is not as good as 45 freakin' Beatles songs
The party play mode is a wonderful idea. I really hope that Rock Band introduces that in the next iteration.
From the gamespot review: "Previously, you could save failed bandmates only by using the star power you earned by nailing glowing notes."
I thought that once someone failed out in GHWT, the entire band would fail instantly. Is that not the case?
easy I don't like the beatles or think their music would be fun in a game I mean I like "here comes the sun" and "come together" but I thought come together was an arrowsmith song for about 5 years" @trophyhunter said:

" @trophyhunter said:I'm with you. 45 Beatles songs are much more appealing to me than 85 songs that are always hit and miss.

Still, something could be said for the extras and difficulty (I love a challenge) that GH5 has over TBRB.

Still, something could be said for the extras and difficulty (I love a challenge) that GH5 has over TBRB. "Thats the thing for me. If GH3 teached me anything, its that my talent for these games is limited and the effort and time required to get better at it is far too high. If you say here's a casual beatles music rythm game, I say, twist and shout baby.

but in GH5 to save someone you just have to play well not even use star power

" @trophyhunter said:Lashe, that is how I feel. I must say I am surprised by the inherent quality of the game (GH5) because I expected it to be nothing more than another cash-in. I may pick it up soon. Nonetheless, TB:RB still has my vote out of the two because, dude, the Beatles are awesome. Everyone loves them (besides a few including the TC) and 45, pure Beatles songs will be fantastic.

My copy just came in the mail today. I've only played 5 songs in quick play so far, but everything seems to be good. The difficulty seems to have been beefed up quite a bit with some of the songs, but I'm not complaining or anything.
" Surprised? No. Annoyed? Very. "annoyed that people are enjoying a good game? what are you a batman villain
Guitar Hero is nothing more than a cash in and it has been since GH3. No thanks, Rock Band games are more my style. You've got to vote with your wallets guys, don't encourage Activision and Neversoft to do business this way.
This is good news. One of the main factors that I liked about the GH franchise was the difficulty, and GH:WT felt too much like RB in that there was not much of a challenge for me on guitar and bass."

" @Lashe said:Yeah but surely you're still capable of noticing that most other people fucking love the freaking Beatles and that what they are so excited about is The Beatles!

Personally I shall be getting both games and enjoying them both immensely.
Oh and why exactly is guitar hero a cash in now? Surely any game is a cash in?
" @Jolly_Lolly said:No, no, I didn't mean it like that. I'm annoyed because I just recently bought GHWT, but I guess I should have waited for this instead." Surprised? No. Annoyed? Very. "annoyed that people are enjoying a good game? what are you a batman villain "

When will these music games die? I'm really sick of them. I'm completely fine not buying a new set of plastic "instruements" to clutter my house. I'll just take the RB2 store please. Also, as someone else said there hasn't been a setlist in GH that I liked since II.

your wish is putting thousands of people out of jobs and taking away a game thousands of people like.
now how do you feel huh? huh?
I went to target and noticed that they had it there. I hadnt seen anything on this game really. Seemed like a surprise that it was out and i was like, ok... JUst didnt seem like a big deal like world tour. Beatles Rock Band is gonna be huge! But this game, just makes me say, meh. Van Halen is more exciting than this. Maybe thats why so many buy GH5, so they can get VH for free.

I fucking hate you people that hate games for no reason or just because it's popular to hate them
I liked RE5 and have no opinion on The Godfather 2. Ever thought that not everyone is as obsessed as you and isn't a fanboy? I just don't like the game. It's not as nearly as good as it's used to be. The quality switch occured between 2 and 3. Ever since then the songs have been mostly mediocre with a few gems here and there. All songs are over-charted messes and the developer has appeared to realize that the hard-core community doesn't really care. They just want faster/more notes. Seriously, the only worthwile song I can think of in GH 5 is Sweating Bullets; also the Cobain thing makes me sad. My bad for having an opinion. I don't dislike them because it's popular to, I dislike them because they are now the souless product of the corporate juggernaut.

but I did and it's a great game. so when people go "its a cash in" "curt cobain blah blah" it fucking pisses me off. most people are hateing on it just because its popluar to hate on, which is the stupidest thing ever.

I can count the number of games with "Rock Band" in the title on one hand (two, if you count track packs). I'm into my toes now for Guitar Hero. It's not that they put out a bunch of games with lots of music, it's the fact that each new iteration feels like the same game that just came out. GH5 is probably the best Guitar Hero game since...II?
