It's safe to say that when Activision took over the Guitar Hero franchise, there were a few growing pains. Neversoft did an admirable job with Guitar Hero III, but it was upstaged by Harmonix's release of Rock Band. When Neversoft made the jump to a full band game with Guitar Hero: World Tour, it closed much of the gap with Harmonix, but Rock Band 2 still edged it out in a side-by-side comparison. With Activision's Bobby Kotick seemingly driving the franchise to pump out as many full-priced sequels as quickly as possible (versus Harmonix's value-priced track packs), many were left wondering if the Guitar Hero franchise would ever get its groove back. After getting some solid hands-on time with Guitar Hero 5 last week, it looks like it may have done just that.
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 !
