After foolishly spending years ignoring anything that music and rhythm games had to offer after Amplitude, I recently took advantage of an opportunity to purchase Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and a wireless guitar for a combined total of less than $20. I've liked Aerosmith's music for years, plus the Guitar Hero games were supposed to be excellent. I was proud of my frugal self and I was looking forward to hours of bliss. Unfortunately, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith isn't an ideal ambassador for the overall franchise. As you've possibly heard, there are a lot of issues that you have to ignore if you want to have a good time with it. The whole experience left me underwhelmed, to say the least.
Every cloud has a silver lining, though. Mine was the fact that I now owned a perfectly good wireless guitar controller and Guitar Hero 5 was coming up on me faster than something very fast (sorry, not every game critic can pull a witty metaphor out of his ass whenever he feels like it). Shortly after arriving in stores, the game appeared as if by magic in my apartment, where my brother-in-law and I have since enjoyed playing it for hours at a time. As a result of all that practice, I went from being a total scrub to... well, not a guitar god, but something closer to proficient. I also learned what I'd been missing and I reached a profound conclusion: Guitar Hero is indeed excellent.
PlayStation Universe takes a look back at some of the games and moments where David Bowie's music struck a chord in videogames.
Ended up doing quite well with ziggy stardust on GH; was only on medium but I still consider it an achievement 😃
Wasn't David Bowie in a Quantic Dreams game during the PS2 era?
These tracks wouldn’t be half as big if it wasn’t for Activision’s button-shredding megafranchise.
The writer of this article is obviously musically incompetent. Free Bird, nor Lynyrd Skynyrd, owes debt to anyone concerning their music and especially concerning Free Bird. It is one of the greatest and most highly ranked songs in the history of rock music, not to mention it contains one of the top ten guitar solos in rock history. I realize that in order to be considered great in the music industry these days all you have to do is copy something that someone else did years ago, but you should do a little research before making totally ridiculous and inaccurate statements.
Surprisingly enough, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to rediscover this gem.
Funny, went to my Daughter's house over the weekend. We played Rock Band, first time in about two years. It was just as much fun as I remembered.
@ Sayburr: "Rock Band Night" was a frequently used term for me and my mates too !
