The A.V. Club writes: "Recent Guitar Hero games saw developer Neversoft favoring hardcore note-crunching over party-game simplicity. Guitar Hero 5 reverses that approach. Start the game, a song will cue up, and you'll see an invitation: play. Right from the menu, one to four people can jump into a random song, and can choose whatever instrument they like. Want a traditional band setup? Do it. Want a singer and three guitarists? Got four drum kits? Any setup works. Career mode remains, but all songs are unlocked in quickplay. Career mode offers extra challenges: band members have to hit notes only with upstrokes, or maintain a multiplier for a specified duration. Not interested? Ignore them."
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 !
