Metareview - Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

Think of it this way: Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is like Neversoft's version of former Guitar Hero-dev Harmonix's Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. Old man Activision wants Guitar Hero twice a year, but there's only so much one dev team can do when they're hard at work on their own followup featuring a full band lineup.

So, the same ... just remove the whole part about the dev team getting bought and releasing that followup through Activision's biggest competitor – oh, and the whole part about it being 2007 – and you've got an idea of where critics are putting GH:A on the fake-instrument rhythm game pantheon. Like Aerosmith? You probably already bought it. Don't like Aerosmith? Move along.
