A fret board appears on your screen and up to five colors of notes come down from the top to which you have to strum, beat or sing in rhythm. Successfully playing in sync allows for more points and stars to be earned which in turn unlocks more gear for you and your on-screen avatar. What makes this game stand out from the other Guitar Hero games? By improving on the short comings of the past."
The Good
* All songs unlocked from the start
* Career mode no longer forces you to play every song in the list
* Any combination of instruments can be played
The Bad
* Track list is too diverse
The Ugly
* All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan
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 !
