Video Game Reviews of Guitar Hero Aerosmith
Customer Review: Aerosmith flavored Guitar Hero that doesn't offer much
Summary: 3 Stars
Since Activision and Neversoft took control of the Guitar Hero franchise, we've been getting a steady stream of sequels and spin-off's, with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith being the latest game in the series. Featuring a pretty good collection of songs spanning Aerosmith's long career, you'll find that besides adding the Aerosmith-themed presentation, the game itself is basically identical to Guitar Hero III. This isn't really a bad thing, but considering this is a full-priced game, it would have been nice if there would have been a little more overall variations. The track list here is quite good though, with even some bonus tracks from Joe Perry's Joe Perry Project to find and play too, along with some bonus interviews with the band. Where the game falters however is that there isn't going to be any downloadable content, meaning that once you get through the game, there isn't much reason to go back to it. Getting through the game isn't that much of a challenge either if you're a Guitar Hero veteran, as the game proves to be not all that difficult compared to previous Guitar Hero games. It should also go without saying that if you aren't a fan of Aerosmith, this probably isn't for you. All in all, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is an enjoyable diversion that fans of the band will get a lot of enjoyment out of for a while, but in the end, the game doesn't offer enough bang for your buck.Customer Review: Try it before you buy it!
Summary: 3 Stars
Rent the game first, and see for yourself. I was very disappointed. The vault, was almost bare! Too few songs, and Walk This Way had the two versions. With as few songs as there was on the game, there should not have been a duplicate, with or with out the slight variation. There are so many amazing songs that could have been put on this game! I played for two hours, got tired and went back to Guitar Hero 3.
But, the Steven Tyler graphics were great! I loved watching the band while others played!
Customer Review: Unless you absolutely love Aerosmith, it's not worth 60 bucks
Summary: 2 Stars
The gameplay and graphics are similar to Guitar Hero 3, which I expected. What I was disappointed with was the number of songs. There are about 40 songs total which can be played in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith as compared to around 70 for its predecessor.
I was also displeased with the difficulty of the game. I played through the game on Expert difficulty without once failing a song. I may be good at the game but I certainly could not do that the first time I played through Guitar Hero 3...or 2. Some of the songs are rather boring to play along with too. Either they are slow or just repetive. You get bored and start missing notes because you just don't care anymore and just want the song to be over.
Most of the achievements are easy to unlock so you can rent the game and accomplish that over a weekend. So unless you are a huge Aerosmith fan I don't recommend buying this game. It is just not worth $60 for almost half the songs as the previous game...although I'll probably make myself a hypocrit when I purchase Guitar Hero: Metallica when it is released early in 2009.
Customer Review: Not too much different then GH3
Summary: 5 Stars
Its not too much of a big jump, although its more entertaining because it actually has sort of a "storyline" to it, the menus have changed, and they have different achievements then GH3 like for example if u get a 100 note streak on the second song of career you get a gamerscore achievement called cheescake, and trust me, thats not the end of the weird names of the achievments
P.S. I was the first reviewer of this version of this game HA!! BEAT THAT!!
