Guitar Hero Aerosmith the the latest (cash-in) game in the popular music game series, this time featuring the famous band themselves, along with a slew of their greatest hits. It also has a number of song by bands inspired by Aerosmith, including Lenny Kravitz, The Clash, the Cult, and even Run-D.M.C.
The game features 40+ songs that mostly has (of course) hit songs from Aerosmith’s backlog. They are all fun to play and enjoyable, as most songs are in the Guitar Hero series (except TTFAF…damn that song…). The game’s Career Mode follows the band’s journey to stardom, from their first performance at Nipmuc High School, all the way to their joining in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. All the Main Characters form GH to Legends of Rock are playable in Aerosmith throughout the playable modes along with secret characters including…yes…Joe Perry (ZOMG!!!).
The Problem with GH Areosmith is that it offers nothing new to the table, leaving us with a rehash of Legends of Rock with a Aerosmith flavor. Most of the menus, loading screens and even the graphics look extremely identical to Guitar Hero 3’s, only disguised in a Aerosmith theme so most wouldn’t even notice the obvious similarities. Also, the songs in the game are so easy, that even the hardcore GH players will think twice before buying. And Furthermore, the song list is pretty short for a Guitar Hero game, making the Career Mode and the full gameplay short, and at times less fufilling than previous titles in the series.
In the End, Guitar Hero Aerosmith is still an fun and enjoyable game for everyone, just don’t expect a whole new experience, as the game offers nothing new for the series, but nonetheless, it’s still fun enough to keep for at least a while
