    GH:WT Review

    So this christmas, I got the Guitar Hero: World tour Solus, mainly because I already have Rock Band and the instruments for it, and partly because I can't use Guitar hero controllers, (Don't know why, they just feel weird).
    So I went and shoved it in my xBox and started off on the guitar career on expert.

    2 days later I was finished.
    This in no way is meant to imply it's a bad game, the career is just a bit easy and short.
    But I like the 'Book your own gig' section.

    The character creator I was looking forward to, and ended up being a bit dissapointed.
    The sliders do barely anything to the face and you always end up looking the same, unless you make yourself a girl, or extremely fat, or both.
    But I did find the Guitar customisation good, being able to choose from different body shapes and headstock shapes and all that junk was a good sense of freedom.

    The songs.
    I didn't think most of the songs were really suited for this game.
    In previous games you had bands like Metallica, Guns N Roses, Megadeth.
    But in this you have more 'Old people' songs.
    Stuff like 'The Joker' and 'On the road again'.
    I didn't feel like a rockstar when I was playing them, I just felt bored.

    And is it just me, or did GH seems to chuck in alot of 3 fret notes?


    The gameplay had some sneaky little changes in it, such as holding down a note while you play others and on the bass you had a purple bar which was a no note strum.
    I found these a nice change of pace.

    As for Rock Band 2 vs GH:WT, I really don't mind either.
    I've played both and they're pretty much the same.
    So I'm not going to go into which is better.

      Sterile and uninspired 0

      This fall marks the first time where we are truly swamped with full-band plastic instrument games. Each of them, ideally, should bring something unique to the table to distinguish themselves from one another. Rock Band has its hook via DLC, and copious and regular amounts of it. Guitar Hero: World Tour has a grab bag of me-too and legitimately unique features like the music creator. And Rock Revolution distinguishes itself from the other two games by sucking, hard. First off, there is no denyi...

      Someone snuck drums into my Guitar Hero! 0

      First things first, just gotta say it - did GUITAR Hero really need the full band format?  Or did they just do it because of the great success that Rock Band saw?  Or maybe they really were planning it all along.  Hmmm.  Couldn't they have just made an awesome guitar game, potentially even allowing multiple guitars for Lead, Rhythm, Bass, or something more original?  Whatever, they wanted all the different instruments, fine.  Let's talk about how it actually plays.Wait, one more thing.  If YOU w...
