    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.

    Is it worth it?

    I mean most of the songs are going to be in RB and there isn't much new, but I love guitar hero's look and feel more then rb. Is it worth it?

    It's like Rock Band and Guitar Hero 4, but not.

    I have heard some good reviews and it is actually pissing me off. That and the fact that Activision is touting the fact that Sultans of Swing will NOT come to Rock Band. Well, I will wait for this to dramatically drop in price. Look at World Tour; that thing dropped like crazy in a few months.

    I want it to play "Judith" by APC. Plus although I still play Rockband I'm not really a fan of DLC (even though I've bough a load), I just hate the fact that I'm stuck with it, at least with disc based songs I can sell it when I'm done (or rent it).

    Have you played it? I am not saying I don't believe you I just find the brand tired and their desperate marketing campaign is just making it look bad. Still, there is a solid track list behind it so I will most likely eventually get it a discounted price.

    I am glad to hear they actually tried something new. Like I said, I will give it a chance come a price drop.

    I must say, I've been taken back by how much of an improvement this is over World Tour. Definitely give it a chance, as it'll likely take you by surprise too.

    I played the game today.  It's a massive improvement over World Tour.  I shit you not when I say I felt like I did when I played Guitar Hero 1 for the first time.  The presentation is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better.  The note charts are fun as Hell, even on Expert.  The new Party Mode is an incredible feature. 
     
    Between my time playing "2 Minutes To Midnight", "Judith", "Demon(s)", "Deadbolt", "Runnin' Down A Dream", and "The Rock Show", I was thoroughly impressed with the game.
