BANGING catalogue. So much fun.

I got this game because it had All Along The Watchtower on it

The previous game was a bit shaky but this one brought the polish back, not just matching Rock Band for features but actually managing to improve on a few of them. Great soundtrack too, if you like alt/indie rock.

Great song selection. This is what World Tour should have been, in my opinion.


definitely sorta started to lose the plot here but putting the live version of Do You Feel Like We Do? was a great choice (with the talk box sections no less! what a treat)

la mayoría de canciones se caían

bro they put king crimson in this

This is the installment where even I got tired of the yearly bullshit.

Major rhythm game fatigue hit right about here.

It made some nice changes here and there and was a good game, but it did lag behind other titles in the series. It once again helps that it came at a time when a new plastic instrument game was coming out every time you blinked, breathed, or took a sip of water.

Caramba, entrei no 5 achando que não ia curtir muito mas acabei amando ele, unico ponto negativo que tenho com esse jogo é a respeito das musicas iniciais, de começo sua setlist é fraca mas vai melhorando com o passar dos rank no modo carreira.


I feel like anything I say about any Guitar Hero game can literally be said about any other game in the franchise, if you like the idea of a goofy party game where you hold a chunk of plastic shaped like a guitar for ants and pretend you're a rock star with your buddies, then you'll like any Guitar Hero game, and if you don't like that idea you sound kinda lame in all honesty.

GH3 might have been the most hyped, but the real ones know that this and World Tour are the best entries.

Better than World Tour, not as good as GH3. I'd put it on-par with GH2.

Second best Guitar Hero tracklist after GH3, had a lot of fun with the career mode and playing with ghost Kurt Cobain, wild venues for you to play in.

An incredibly Milquetoast release. Anyone who bought this over Rock Band 2 was either delusional or an active user of Scorehero

I remember not liking the soundtrack to this one too much, and in general, I enjoy Rock Band more than Guitar Hero.

just as good as world tour but less memories

Rented this one, but never owned it. Didn't hold my interest like GH3 did

Second playthrough review:
Man this is probably just my favorite GH and probably rhythm game in general. The songs, the characters, the venues. They all create an amazing feeling for me. I don't feel this happy playing most games, this is special to me.

First playthrough review:
Amazing setlist, game feels great to play.
Standout songs are -
Brianstorm - Arctic Monkeys (not biased)
Incinerate - Sonic Youth
L.A. - Elliot Smith

A rhythm game that was so shitty, Courtney Love sued Activision over it. No wait, it's because they let the Kurt Cobain model be utilized for any song, not just the Nirvana tracks.

I'm not going to give Guitar Hero 5 points for "playing just fine" since it changed literally none of its format from 4. That work was already done for them. The visual aspect is so lacking and oddly dark, and all the guest appearances feel pathetically hollow, more so than in the previous game.

Not the best but it's still fun.

It's a game. It's guitar hero. If you like guitar hero, you are gonna like this. The setlist is relatively diverse, albiet maybe a bit more leaning towards pop music over metal and rock. I heard beforehand that this game was the straw that apparently broke the camels back and made guitar hero more leaning to casuals, and I can kind of see that but also not really? Most of the setlist was very easy but the last few songs are still good fun. This game also has a completely revamped graphics engine which looks very good in action, so that's neat. There are also bonus challenges for certain songs that are actually really difficult, so GH maniacs still have fun things to do I feel. Overall, it's more guitar hero. You can't go wrong with guitar hero, though I can see why constant releases of just more guitar hero would definitely fatigue the audience into the franchises decline.


King Crimson and Elliott Smith are in this which is pretty cool but it still doesn't have the same MAGIC as the other ones.

Pretty sure this was the one i played the least so I don't remember any of the songs. All in all every guitar hero is the same with different songs

The modern set list is one of my personal favorites, plays much better on the 360 compared to the ps2 port, probably goes without saying lol.
