Evil Avatar writes: "When I first read details and saw screens from Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (GH6) I was actually fairly intrigued. Here we had a game that appeared to know exactly who it was. Neversoft was channelling heavy metal album artwork, characters appeared to be crisp and redesigned, and they were focusing on something that most music games don't--a narrative. OK, that last part was certainly something weird, but hey, sometimes metal needs a story full of chrome and fire right? Oh, and they threw the entirety of Rush's 2112 smack dab in the middle of it. Kick ass!"
The Good
* Cheaper than buying 93 $DLC songs.
* Visually, the best looking Guitar Hero yet.
The Bad
* Creatively bankrupt series brings nothing new.
* Despite the metal aesthetic, only about a third of the soundtrack is of the genre.
* In-game features shouldn't lock up your console.
The Ugly
* Nickelback.
"Going back a few console generations, gaming experienced a surge of rhythm-based games. From shredding out in Guitar Hero to hitting the floor in Dance Central, game started crossing the line between general, real world practices and digital entertainment. Like most other genres, rhythm games became saturated and dipped off in popularity." --PlayStation Enthusiast
Stop these articles, christmas is over. At the least come up with a different title, I mean its January 4 already.
Remember a few years ago, when all the cool kids were hooked to the ‘Guitar Hero’ and ‘Rock Band’ games. It gave a chance for all the wannabe rockstars to do some of their favorite posing without an air guitar. Admittedly, it was a fun experience that revived the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll for a new generation.
The rumors are swirling, so The Geek Culture has a few suggestions on how Activision can bring back Guitar Hero right.
Respect. This game hasn't been dissed enough. Neversoft did the least possible amount of work on it, and it's shocking.
