I give Activision credit for trying, but this doesnt quite meet expectations. Still a fun game, read on for more details
Gameplay 9/10 - Guitar is awesome as always. I def. like playing guitar on GH:WT then I do in RB:1/2. As the drums sit, it was a great attempt by Activision, but they failed on a couple of parts. The drum pads double hit alot, the foot-pedal misses on alot of stuff. I give RB:1/2 the nod on drums. Still a great new addition in GH and will be great in next years game for sure, but I think they just rushed it this time around.
Soundtrack 7.5/10 - Very dissapointing sums the soundtrack up. They have a great list of "decent" songs, but not big enough list of "great" songs. Seems to me that they just took a list of albums and randomly picked songs from each one. Hopefully the downloadables will bring nice songs.
Fun Factor 8.5/10 - While its a great and fun game to play, this one gets boring faster then previous years. Multiplayer is alot more fun due to the additional instruments. Single player just lacks this year though, mainly due to the poor soundtrack.
Overall Rating 8.25/10 ---> 8.5/10
Still a fun and great game for what it is, but it dissapointed me to say the least. They rushed the drums and microphone, and did a very poor job on the soundtrack selection. I love the game, but it should be a 9.5/10 instead of what it is.
