It's kind of getting to the point where you have to ask, when will enough be enough with the Guitar Hero series? The first two GH games were incredibly fun, you could play with friends and family, and laugh and have a ball while you tried to make it through the songs. You didn't have to be musically inclined or even a video game expert to play Guitar Hero, you just had to enjoy music.
Then, you had GH3 which cranked up the difficulty and alienated some of the hardcore yet casual fans. The focus seemed to be geared towards mastering the plastic guitar controller. Some songs, I couldn't complete on the "hard" level and bombed out after the first 30 seconds.
The iterations following GH3 have had many improvements, culminating with the excellent GH Metallica.
Despite seeing that many songs/artists on GH5 were not any that I've heard of before, cared for, and didn't belong on a GUITAR HERO game (Coldplay??), I bought it mainly for what I thought would be an awesome Guitar Hero Van Halen (SORELY mistaken!). I am trading in GH5 now while there is still some trade-in value left. The game is OK, but really, aside from the songs and unlockables, plus the ability to use your XBox Live Avatar as a playable character, there is nothing new about this game.
Guitar Hero should be about power-chord, feel-good songs like "Working For The Weekend" from Loverboy (how about "Hot Girls In Love"?), but they tried to go with the mainstream here, and I think it sucked, much like today's music sucks.
Some of the songs from popular musicians are OK to play. Figured I'd give it a try, but honestly, if you paid full price for this game, you paid too much.
I think when GH6 eventually comes out, I will do what seems to be the trend with these games, and wait until they hit the bargain or clearance bin at Target and pay about 1/5 the price. The series is getting old and stale.Get more detail about Guitar Hero 5 Stand Alone Software.
