Yeah, Activision sure have published a lot of Guitar Hero titles. Not to ruin the surprise or anything, but theyre going to keep publishing a lot more as well. The reason for this is the same reason why Im not about to explain to you how the game wo...

The extra time and effort placed on redeveloping the party play mode has made an enormous difference to the latest Guitar Hero release. If youve been waiting for an excuse to revisit the series, this is it...
Drop-in, drop-out adds a new dimension. Note tracking is sensible, HOPO timing is loose. Menu navigation is much improved, as are load times and graphics. DLC compatibility is steadily getting better. New controller looks to be a quality item, although it...
Vocals have definitely taken a back seat this time around. The set list is still fairly broad. Watching Kurt Cobain sing Du Hast is a little unsettling. Likewise, last time I checked, Shirely Manson wasnt a man.

It’s hard to believe that Guitar Hero has only been around since November 2005 when you look at the dozen or so titles it has already spawned. The franchise has grown so large it has already made a significant cultural impact around the world. Some hav...

Guitar Hero returns to the party once again – this time with a bang so loud it’d burst the ear drums of even the hardest of rockers. Last year, it managed to cement its place as the music game of choice for expert players thanks to some crazily difficu...

It’s testament to a game’s quality when our preconceived notions that what we’re about to experience is little more than a cynical cash-in is gradually melted away like a summer snowman. Guitar Hero V is just such a game. By all accounts we should be l...

The Guitar Hero franchise has been a forerunner in the virtual music genre since 2005, but theres no denying that the series has lost some of its luster over the years. Activision has over-saturated the store shelves with sequels and releases, leaving both fans and critics feeling a little jaded. Weve seen this phenomenon before with proven properties like EAs Madden series, where a yearly release cycle and a dearth of notable improvements water down what was once an extraordinary gaming exp...

Guitar Hero has been around forever and honestly, I was starting to get a little tired of formula. I think it says a lot that games like GH5 and Beatles Rock Band barely registered on my radar; truth be told, I’m way more excited for DJ Hero because...

Guitar Hero has been around forever and honestly, we were starting to get a little tired of the formula. But after seeing Guitar Hero 5 in action, I have to say that I'm not quite ready to give up my plastic instruments yet. With a wide selection of t...

We have come a long way in music/rhythm games, and it is no longer about the solo guitar experience. Although World Tour took the first steps at making Guitar Hero a full band party game, Guitar Hero 5 is the first to nail it - with the ability to jump...

Following on the success of its preceding title, Guitar Hero World Tour, Activision brings gamers Guitar Hero 5. Building on the popularity of playing in a four-person band experience, GH5 opens up opportunities not just to play a new, if somewhat ecl...

It's hard to believe that we've seen so many Guitar Hero games released over the past few years, and it would be easy to assume that the latest, the stunningly named Guitar Hero 5, is just another slight variation on the previous entries. In some ways...

After finally adding some drummy goodness with Guitar Hero World Tour and then issuing the video game equivalent of a greatest hits album, the newest installment of Activision’s wildly popular Guitar Hero series has hit the market. Many may look at Gui...

When the Guitar Hero series launched in 2005, it was the undisputable king of music games. It certainly wasn’t the first or only rhythm game in town, but it changed the genre in ways no one really saw coming. The idea of playing popular songs on a fake...

Guitar Hero is a franchise that started a music gaming revolution; the game has helped spur a new Western take on music gaming with new franchises starting since that point. Today we look at Guitar Hero 5 for the Xbox 360, coming off as the latest evo...

Now, with Guitar Hero 5, Neversoft has amazingly done it again, though this time taking into consideration notes I'd left a year or two ago. That said, the gameplay is fantastic, the best I've seen thus far from a music game. Mostly changes to the guit...

At long last, I give you Guitar Hero 5. Wait ... Guitar Hero 5? How can this be the fifth game when I own six different Guitar Hero games all on the Xbox 360? The proper sequel to Guitar Hero World Tour (and not this year's Guitar Hero: Smash Hits...

There is no denying the cultural impact that Guitar Hero has had over the last few years. The little music game that featured a plastic guitar controller and that no one thought would catch on has become one of the most successful franchises in gaming...
Career challenges add a new hook to the tried and true gameplay. Party Play and new multiplayer modes add a new way for players to enjoy the game together.
Eclectic setlist may not be for everyone.

Are you ready to rock? Again? It feels like only yesterday that the first Guitar Hero game hit the scene, but we are now in the middle of yet another season of rhythm games. Our living rooms are once again getting populated with plenty of plastic gui...

As far as features go, Guitar Hero 5 seems like the best music/rhythm game yet. For casual players and GH veterans alike, there is a lot of nifty stuff in Guitar Hero 5 that makes you want to play it. The song list isn’t quite as strong as the features...

Raise your hand if you are tired of all the music video games yet. I would, but my arm is in a sling from playing Guitar Hero 5 for the past 96 hours. Seriously, it’s hard not to get a little bit jaded with the whole social music game scene. Last year...

Guitar Hero 5 isnt the evolution that Guitar Hero World Tour was, and instead offers subtle changes and modest additions to the game. While the core mechanics are still fun, it seems possible that the series creative well has been tapped dry.

From the moment the disc enters the tray its clear that a lot has changed in Guitar Hero 5. The traditional title screen is gone. Instead, after the obligatory animated intro (demonstrating the new option to have as many players on whatever instrument...
The revamped presentation looks fantastic, and the party mode is a stroke of genius.
The song selection and the upcoming music marketplace still doesnt match the competition.
