Popmatters Review: Guitar Hero: Smash Hits

Popmatters writes:

"The uneven quality of the game spreads into other areas as well-the career path seems like a good idea borrowed from Guitar Hero: Metallica at first as new venues are unlocked based on the number of stars the player has accumulated to that point. Unfortunately, career mode can only be beaten by completing every single song in the game, which seems to defeat the purpose of allowing the player to progress through the venues at a quicker pace. None of the downloadable content of Guitar Hero World Tour is compatible with Smash Hits, which is a shame, and the character creator, music studio, and online capabilities of the game don't seem to have changed one bit, which is fine but again does not help the perception that the game probably should have been a package of downloadable content." 5/10
