Neversoft's final entry, and they managed to make it insanely repugnant. Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock shits up this franchise so far off the path, it's practically unrecognizable. The last 3 games already felt so damn soulless, but the leaps and bounds to remove any remaining scrap of heart is enough to make me gag.

Their overinflated "epic" adventure mode is so embarrassing, further marred by including narration from geriatric rock star Gene Simmons, who sounds like he needs a nap the entire time. And all these otherworldly designs of once beloved/loathed characters are stupid as hell. It almost feels like the board meeting was "how can we make guitar hero more EPIC?!" It's 2010, that obsession checks out, right?

This ended up killing the franchise as well as Neversoft, laying this series dormant for a number of years. Somehow, this wasn't the worst we could see from Guitar Hero.
