D+PAD Magazine: Guitar Hero: Van Halen Reviewed

D+PAD Magazine Writes:

By now videogamers will be well versed not just in the mechanics of guitar-based music games, but the entire critical discourse that surrounds them. It's almost as though this review doesn't need to exist; here's the introduction, there'll be the odd paragraph on how this is just glorified DLC dressed up as a standalone disc, and a little bit on the odd changes that may have been made since Band Hero and Guitar Hero 5 were released just six months ago. The only section that betrays the shifting fortunes of this once dominant and financially phenomenal genre will be the one that focuses on falling sales and drifting consumer interests – a far cry from the notices of 2008, when Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour were set to launch and everything was still so exciting. (Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits, Guitar Hero Van Halen, Guitar Hero World Tour, Guitar Hero: Metallica, PS3, Xbox 360) 2/5
