Out of the pantheon of rock bands deserving a specific Guitar Hero or Rock Band title, there is little denying that Van Halen is more than worthy of the honor. Since forming in 1974 the band has seen global success that only a few other bands have, with over 200 million albums sold worldwide. Led by the iconic axeman Eddie Van Halen, the band has endured for 35 years and its career reads like the script for a daytime soap - which should make for a fairly interesting game. Sadly Guitar Hero: Van Halen is not such a game. At its most basic, it is an uninspired and pedestrian experience, especially when compared to The Beatles: Rock Band and series siblings Guitar Hero: Metallica and Guitar Hero 5.
