Game Bosh: It's perhaps not the best of signs when a video game is given away for free long before its original release. It's even worse when just a few months after that actual release, the game is already sitting in the bargain buckets.
Outside Xbox: "Plenty of achievements are hard work, that's the point. Some games take it too far, though, with gamerscore rewards that definitely aren't worth the enormous effort you have to put in to earn them. Here are the most egregious examples of games having absolutely zero respect for your time."
Meristation: The Guitar Hero saga saga created by Red Octane and Harmonix ago a whopping five years has gone further than its creators could never have dreamed. His initial idea of incorporating a guitar-shaped peripheral has expanded to enable us to form our own rock band in the company of three friends at the controls of bass, drums and microphone
OXCGN:
"Having played all the renditions of both Guitar Hero and Rockband on the Xbox 360, it is hard to mask my initial disappointment at Van Halen.
Whilst both Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero have used the flashy new career mode system, which includes challenges that encompass all instruments and play styles, it is clear that Van Halen was produced before either of those games, because it reverts back to an old style which is similar to the other band specific games."
This must have been the game where Activision thought 'uh....maybe we shouldn't 17 Guitar Hero SKUs the next fiscal year'
After playing the demo what I find strange is that the engine seems to be from Guitar Hero 4 (world tour) and not GH5. I know Van Halen came out late last year in the US but this is still a bit weird. I guess it shows how overdue it is
I'm about well and truly 'over' the whole Guitar Hero thing, really, just how far can they stretch making a buck from a game that is basically the same on each outing, with the exception of the band fronting it. sheesses.
At least Rock Band offered a different challenge and level of user involvement, and it shipped with more gear and much more support. So I suppose the score reflects that.
I can say I'll not be too saddened when the stop making the games, which I believe is high on the cards for this year sometime.
Activison seems to have become the new EA....put out the same franchise with a slight difference over and over.
Seriously just let people download the songs and features...
