So you are a Aerosmith fan and you want to play some hard core Guitar Hero as well, huh? Well, looking at the box you would think this game is perfect of you, right? Unfortunately, you're wrong.
Let me go on record and say that I beat this game in one night. Yes, its that short, and the fun is a bit limited. Only half of the set list is Aerosmith, which is odd considering the title. You would expect to play as Aerosmith, which you do, but before that you need to do 'opening acts' before you play as the legendary Joe Parry, and you have to do that which each venue. That presentation doesn't make you want to play and its just not fun.
To top it off the setlist....its just downright....weird. I mean many hit Aerosmith songs are in here, don't get me wrong, but where are others like 'Crazy'? The songs that arn't Aerosmith suffer from the baddness as well. They are not fun to play, and most of them are dull and boring. But its not all bad. The good songs like 'Dream On' and ' Walk This Way' are in here, but you have to purchase 'Walk This Way' at the Store, whats up with that? The verison of the song is a rap tune by DMC, and not Aerosmith at all. And sure 'Train Kept A Rollin' is in here but, you could already play that in Rock Band, and there is not much difference between the two verisons other than the fact that the version is the classic -unmixed- version and, no, that is not a reason to play the game.
The muli-player is the same as the other Guitar Heros (or GH3 anyway) and you will be better off playing GH3 online since there are not much good songs in the game.
So the lack of not being much Aerosmith, the presentation, and the 6 hour gameplay totaly ruin the game. Its cool that they added comintary for the band, but these are online 30 seconds. The bottom line is rent it, it works with you other Guitars, including Rock Band Guitars, and beat it in a weekend. Avoid buying it at all costs, you will find your self harshly dissipointed. Overall, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith gets a 2.5 out of 5.
