Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The game that started the modern music phenomenon is back, with more songs, more bands and more party game action. Just like Guitar Hero: World Tour you can play as a whole band with your friends, with lead guitar, bass, drums and vocals all working together in the same song.

The game that changed the way the world interacts with music is back
New RockFest modes bring lots of new ways to play
Now you can play any combination of instruments you want, whenever you want
Being a rock god is more of a team effort than ever

What's new for Guitar Hero 5 though is that anyone can play any combination of instruments, so you can have four lead guitars if you want or even swap roles mid song. As a result each individual has their own Star Power meter and it's up to the best players to save others if things go wrong.

To encourage even more co-operation there's also the new Band Moments bonus, which doles out big rewards if every member of the team can complete a section together. With the RockFest feature adding tons of new game modes as well this is the best value Guitar Hero yet.

Key Features
  • Monster of rock: The biggest Guitar Hero yet with new ways to play, new rewards and the biggest line-up of master recordings ever seen.
  • Jam with the band: Party Play option lets players join or leave a song whenever they want, or even change instruments or difficultly level mid-song.
  • Rock festival: New game modes including Momentum, which changes the difficultly as you play, and Elimination, where the weakest link player is dropped if they mess up.
  • Special moments: New "Band Moments" offer big rewards if everyone can co-operate for a set stretch of rock perfection.
  • Hall of fame: A record-breaking 85 songs by 83 different artists, including The White Stripes, Arctic Monkeys, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty and more.

Fun:   
Like the new features and avatar use, overall a nice improvement from world tour; however the setlist lets its down a bit. Theres some great songs, but most majority just bore me im afraid- next year if improved again thats great, but they gota do something about these slowly dying setlists.

It's not GH.... 2 Mar 2010
Fun:   
I have played GH 3, Aerosmith, Metallica, World Tour, Greatest Hits, and now this and I find GH 5 the worst attempt of the series

- There is a very cheesy 'play a song when you load up the game' mechanic which is really annoying and makes the entrance into the game tacky
- The menus of the options look identical to load screens, and the load screens are also all identical with not one fact at all.
- There is no band progression in career mode. It is just a random venue with whatever character(S) you made. You unlock songs by stars, as normal.
- There are new challenges which are instrument spefic which is just silly. The game should recognise what instrument(S) are available to play and assign a random challenge to it. It is just another money-making item with no significance.
- The game feels tacky, impersonal, and has a weak setlist
- The game HUD has now changed...again. It is pretty weak and 'dusty'.

It does do some good things
- It is quick to get playing a song, and there are awesome multiplayer modes to play around with on or offline.
- There is a song for everyone in the 85 piece setlist.
- The animations and graphics are fine. Nothing groundbreaking, but the best in the series by a long shot
- The achievments are an absolute ease to unlock.

GHWorld Tour was a good game for both single and multiplayers, and focused a lot of the gameplay and the personal edge, with Metallica really stressing it. Now its just about money and 'whatever will do will do' and that attitude has made this game awful. Sorry.

Fun:   
Having played the Guitar Hero series since the first one in 2005. For me the series hit it's peak creatively and musically with Guitar Hero 3.

Saying that Guitar Hero 5 is an okay game their are some good song's and the gameplay has remained mainly the same. Guest musicians such as Kurt Cobain and Johnny Cash are also available to be unlocked through the career mode which is a nice touch.

All said and done though their aren't enough memorable song's for GH5 to be a great game but worth getting when it is cheaper.

Disappointing
I've seen a lot of reviews of Guitar Hero 5 prior to buying the game and I have to say I was totally disappointed.

Basically, it's Band Hero with a different set list. Read more
