Heres the link for fun for everyone

Wow much lower than I expected. But really he does make a point. Carrer is nearly quickplay, bad guest acts (Weezer? Blink 182?), and well...read the review.

This is the lowest score a Guitar Hero game has ever gotten. If they keep up making unpolished band titles, maybe in a few years Guitar Hero Kanye West will recieve a 1.0. This game is NOT worth 60 bucks, which is what it will probably sell for.

A 4.9!!! Who thought the series would come to this?

Guitar Hero was novel when it came out. Then it started getting stale. Then Rock Band came out. It was cool again. Now it's not.

Glad to hear it. Maybe Activision should see the time and quality Harmonix puts into a music game before making this shovelware. Shows them right

Neversoft needs some serious quality control, and fast. Guitar Hero 5 just didn't click with me, but this looks truly awful. I haven't even bothered opening the cardboard sleeve (really?) mine came in.

The sad part is Eddie Van Halen's a MUCH better guitarist for a shred-type game than any of the other bands they've done so far for GH. D= I was actually going to try this one out too...never knew Weezer and blink 182 were in it though. *vomit* If Activision milks Megadeth or Pantera next I'mma cry, no doubt they'll put Paramore or Green Day in as a guest act...=P

After milking Guitar Hero for so long, they make an awful game.

YAY!!!! :D

I mean I didn't have any idea they were making a new one already! Didn't 5 just come out?

Finally!! i was waiting for a bad review score for Guitar Hero for a long time... releasing that many games in such a short amount of time... talk about milking the market.

I hope this ends the run of music games, finally.

Exactly why they gave it away with GH5. This is especially bad in the wake of what was arguably the best single-band rhythm game ever.

I got it for free, and i got what i payed for. It was rushed, like they had to finish it quickly to give the game free 2 months before release. Guitar Hero Aerosmith and Metallica had things like cutscenes, guest appearances (Run DMC, Lemmy), bonus videos, and special features on their own (Boss Battles, Expert+). GH: Van Halen did NONE of this stuff, it was just bare bones and how "convenient" it was for them to just completely ignore the Sammy Hagar time period. And don't get me started on the guest acts (Stacey's Mom? Are you serious?).

Yeah, and Activision has been treating it like it was a 4.9. Who really thought this was going to be worth playing when they gave it out for free with GH5?

Heres the link for fun for everyone

Wow much lower than I expected. But really he does make a point. Carrer is nearly quickplay, bad guest acts (Weezer? Blink 182?), and well...read the review.

This is the lowest score a Guitar Hero game has ever gotten. If they keep up making unpolished band titles, maybe in a few years Guitar Hero Kanye West will recieve a 1.0. This game is NOT worth 60 bucks, which is what it will probably sell for.

A 4.9!!! Who thought the series would come to this?

Justinge3
lol the only GH game I have ever bought, and will ever buy, is GHIII, but if they do make GH Kanye West I might have to change that stance :P But honestly, was anyone expecting this to be good? They gave did give it away for free. Sounds desperate to me.

Well that's what happens when you release a spinoff every other month with minor improvements. GH is dead to me. They've milked the series so much that they've inevitably run out of ideas on how to move the series forward (not that Activision would want to anyway)

Oh how high the mighty have fallen. Its a good thing that DJ hero is semi-good, But i see Tons of more cases of carpal tunnel syndrome coming off that DJ turntable. I do like the mixes in the game though. it seems to be the only good thing about any hero these days

Well, I expected it to get a low score, but not this low. GH is getting stale.
