If you are an Aerosmith fan, you'll love this game. It has some of their best songs with some from other bands as well. Set is just like the other Guitar Hero games where you have to unlock songs as you go.

First Time Playing Guitar Hero, Very Fun Game!!

As the title of this review stated, this is my first time playing Guitar Hero, period. So I can't tell you how it stacks up vs GH3.

That said, I found it to be a fun experience, which will only make me want to go get GH3 for Wii. Aerosmith wouldn't be my first choice of bands, but unlike many who clamored for more hits, I liked playing some other songs I may have not heard of or forgotten about. The Run DMC tracks were a blast also.

We're gonna have to wait for downloadable content when GH "World Tour" comes out. If you're a fan of Aerosmith or even just a casual fan, this is an enjoyable game. If you can't stand them, then perhaps it's best to wait for the next version of GH.

Oh my gosh

I am sitting here laughing at all the responses, "I bought the Aerosmith version and I wish there weren't so many Aerosmith songs on it."

LOL What did you think?
And if you don't like the playlist, don't buy it.

I for one found that it was a little easier than GHIII in that I may actually have a chance on some hard songs. I love to see Cheap Trick and Joan Jett in the mix as well.

Happy Rockin'!!!

Let's get one thing straight first--this is Guitar Hero. As long as there is rock music and a G-R-Y-B-O color fretboard, it will always be Guitar Hero. That basically means that the "fun" factor of the game will always be at high, because it is very, very difficult to ruin a game that is placed around some fairly simple gameplay.

But, of course, this is Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, something new for the series, as it is mainly focusing on one of Rocks's biggest hits. In that sense--it's a total success. If you're an Aerosmith fan, or just like that style of music, this game will work very well. It's got all of the songs that I personally love, and even some that I didn't know about, and still liked. And let me get one thing straight; rocking out at the "Halftime Show" to the song "Dream On," is freaking awesome.

Now, let's talk about the other parts of the game--the non-Aerosmith is pretty decent. High points include Joan Jett, Cheap Trick, Joe Perry's seperate band, Black Crowes, and a surprising inclusion, an old-school rap song by Run/DMC. The non-Aerosmith playlist is somewhat small, which is a bit disheartening, but what's there is enjoyable, and good enough to break up the Steven Tyler input. Activision could have decided to include more songs in the bonus tracks, but it's just aerosmith/Joe Perry band tracks.

The Gibson Les Paul guitar you can get with the game, contrary to many reports I read, works excellently. The only thing about this game I can really cringe about is the graphics. Guitar Hero III managed to compensate for the Wii's graphical lacking-ness by dumbing down the graphics to Guitar Hero II level--but this time the developers wanted to push it towards the level that the Xbox 360 and PS3 are capable of, and stumble quite a bit. Steven Tyler's face does NOT look good at all, the rest of the band barely keeping in the level of "decent." Tyler's dancing animations are pretty cool, but overall the graphics on this game just aren't adding up. Considering that "Transformers" managed some impressive graphics, I'm not sure how this happened, but hey, I'm not a game developer.

In short--it's Guitar Hero, and it's fun. Buy it if you want to have another 60 or so songs to accompany GH3, but I can't blame you if you just decide to wait for World tour or pick up Rock Band.

Overrated

I like the original guitar hero WAY better. I was expecting more popular Aerosmith songs than were included in the game. . . DISAPPOINTED!

Not as fun as the original Guitar Hero III...

I was really looking forward to playing this game, although I'm not a big Aerosmith fan and hardly know any of their older songs. I guess I should have stuck with the original GH III. The songs are boring (unless you like Aerosmith), and unlike the GH III, you have to play all of the songs in each level in career mode to get to the next level. It's definitely not worth $49.99, but may be a fun game if the price comes down.

not too shabby

Even though this game is basically a copy of GH3, there were enough newities to keep me entertained for the 3 hours it took to finish it. Its hard to complain about the game though, because it was exactly what I figured it would be. There are only about 40 songs on the game, a handful of which I recognized. My only real problem with the game is the price. I don't really care about the less-than-perfect sound and graphics...Thats why I bought a Wii instead of a PS3 or XBox 360 in the first place. So if you aren't that big of an Aerosmith fan, this game is still worth playing. Although, you might want to wait until you can find it cheaper...

Game is a great continuation to GH3. This game is not about graphic quality, so don't ask. If you're a true Aerosmith fan, you'll like the chronology and selection of songs. I also agree there could be more. There's a huge catalog to choose from. You'll find yourself turning up the volume and getting lost in some of the songs. I definitely see a trend starting here. Get ready for GH4 Metallica. . . Cary Kinder / Franklin, Oh

Absolutely Horrible.

I am an average Aerosmith fan, and this was a horrible game, I'm sorry. The songs are slow and not at all stimulating in the Guitar Hero sense, the game itself is easy and not at all as challenging as GH3. Do not waste time or money. Do not even rent. Between this and what I am hearing about Rock Band for Wii, it is all in all a depressing debut month for these games.

Awesome even without co-op

Overall, this is a pretty good compilation of songs from Aerosmith as well as "cover" songs from other bands that Aerosmith liked, influenced, or was influenced by.

Sweet Emotion is just awesome to play. Easy, medium and hard are pretty easy if you've gotten through hard and expert on GHIII. Even Expert mode at the beginning isn't too bad, but it does get tougher as you move forward into the band's history. However, it does seem to have been made easier than what GHIII was.

The gameplay is typical GH play. You start each set as the opening act, playing 2 cover songs. When you play as the cover band (which is the first 2 songs for each set), you play as the characters from GHIII (which you can choose for your profile). But, once you've gotten past the cover tunes, then Aerosmith comes out and then the show REALLY rocks as you play two songs and then an encore as Aerosmith.

You earn money and each set begins with a video with the band explaining that part of their history. You can unlock more songs as well as more lengthy videos to learn more about Aerosmith and their history.

Overall, if you're an Aerosmith fan, you cannot go wrong with this. Casual GH players may find this a let down as the song list is smaller than GHIII, but for me, this is an awesome addition for the Wii GH franchise.

This gets four stars because there is no co-op and there is no Dude Looks Like a Lady. Otherwise, the songs are great and it's going to make me break out my Aerosmith CDs and listen to them again.
