ZeroTolerance Writes: I know it sounds crazy but I am now reviewing the sixth (numbered) Guitar Hero game. It is amazing that the series has run as long as it has, and even with the criticisms surrounding it within the community, it still manages to sell well enough to keep making them. Last year's game took some major strides in catching up with Harmonix's perennial Rock Band by adding the much needed Party Play and better support for importing your existing songs, but it still lacked the platform mentality of the aforementioned franchise. Warriors of Rock continues the trend of improvements with new instruments, a more streamlined career mode and a bevy of other enhancements making it once again the definitive iteration to date.
"Going back a few console generations, gaming experienced a surge of rhythm-based games. From shredding out in Guitar Hero to hitting the floor in Dance Central, game started crossing the line between general, real world practices and digital entertainment. Like most other genres, rhythm games became saturated and dipped off in popularity." --PlayStation Enthusiast
Stop these articles, christmas is over. At the least come up with a different title, I mean its January 4 already.
It's already January 4th. Hence the title on the 11th day of Christmas.
It's a series of titles referencing the days after the 25th which are the 12 days of Christmas.
Remember a few years ago, when all the cool kids were hooked to the ‘Guitar Hero’ and ‘Rock Band’ games. It gave a chance for all the wannabe rockstars to do some of their favorite posing without an air guitar. Admittedly, it was a fun experience that revived the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll for a new generation.
The rumors are swirling, so The Geek Culture has a few suggestions on how Activision can bring back Guitar Hero right.
No more of this bs...how much more can people take? the novelty wore off in 2005 for me. Then again, thats just me.
8.7/10?
No
rock band > GH
real musical instruments ftw!
also, i want to appluad harmonix for actually innovating in the music game genre and now allowing to use a real (semi-real?) guitar for the gameplay. never thought someone would try to pull it off.
guitar hero...pfft, it's a joke now. absolutely nothing new with the series.
