Weird. For some reason the engine regresses to the GH4 engine instead of the new one they used for GH5 and band hero despite coming out after those two games...? I thought I liked Van Halen music more than this game ended up actually making me feel, considering the fact I was way more hyped for the guest acts in this games setlist instead. The engine also kinda felt weird, felt like I could mash and get away with it a lot more in this game. Challengewise, this is very servicable as songs will definitely not be boring, so that's good. Like GH Metallica, the only band history stuff is stored in an inconvenient slow rock fact drip feed, so I learnt absolutely nothing about Van Halen as a band. If anything, with how the characters in the game look and animate, I think I can safely say that vibe-wise Van Halen is not my jam. All in all a very take it or leave it GH game, much like the other band-centric ones. This one might be my least favorite though.
