Old Halen missing any music from the last 26 years 31 Mar 2010

By Moleman007

Platform for Display:Xbox 360

Fun:

When I found out this game was out I bought immediately. Since I have been a Van Halen fan since the 70's I finally had a way to play guitar to all my favourite tracks. There lies the problem, this game is full of all the early stuff of Halen from 1984 and before. I can only guess there are some sort of licence restrictions or something. Basically they seem to have dragged out some not so good tracks to fill in the game. It's seriously missing the Hager touch.

Cheap and fun 14 Nov 2011

By O. Johnstone

Platform for Display:Xbox 360

Fun:

This particualar version of Guitar Hero appealed to me as a Van Halen fan, so I was mildly disappointed to find that many songs simply weren't on it. The gameplay is standard within the rest of the series, but this time you're playing as Van Halen. If you're happy listening only to the earliest albums then you won't be disappointed, but don't be expecting to hear any of Van Halen's more recent tracks.

To conclude: you get what you pay for!

good if you like van halen 21 July 2011

By marco534

Platform for Display:Xbox 360

Fun:

This is a very similar game to guitar hero metallica in the fact that it tell's the story of the band, practically all of van halen's songs are covered including a few obscure tracks that you might not have heard. It's not as difficult as some of the other games in the series however there are a few songs that will take a bit of practise to master.Overall, being a minor van halen fan, it's as good if not slightly better than expected.

The second start of the end...

Guitar Hero 5 was a very poor attempt of a music game. Apart from bringing a host of new features, it lacked the personal touch which other GH have been known for. Read more
