Aerosmith flavored Guitar Hero that doesn't offer too much

Since Activision and Neversoft took control of the Guitar Hero franchise, we've been getting a steady stream of sequels and spin-off's, with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith being the latest game in the series. Featuring a pretty good collection of songs spanning Aerosmith's long career, you'll find that besides adding the Aerosmith-themed presentation, the game itself is basically identical to Guitar Hero III. This isn't really a bad thing, but considering this is a full-priced game, it would have been nice if there would have been a little more overall variations. The track list here is quite good though, with even some bonus tracks from Joe Perry's Joe Perry Project to find and play too, along with some bonus interviews with the band. Getting through the game isn't that much of a challenge though if you're a Guitar Hero veteran, as the game proves to be not all that difficult compared to previous Guitar Hero games. It should also go without saying that if you aren't a fan of Aerosmith, this probably isn't for you. All in all, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is an enjoyable diversion that fans of the band will get a lot of enjoyment out of for a while, but in the end, the game doesn't offer enough bang for your buck.

Might just be the last great "classic" GH game.

these songs as well as some JOE PERRY tunes are also in GH Aerosmith. A band that it turns out makes a prime candidate to center a GH game around. The track list is overall put together with a good eye to keeping the game feeling fresh. The mechanics of the gameplay feel smooth and like GHIII tougher on harder settings. Certain songs like No Surprize, Nobody's Fault and Mama Kin sound great with the soundfx that accompany the song when you are nailing it(think the chorus singing in Rock Band). Basically a classic GH game with a pretty outstanding opening band list and selection of music. The Cult, The Clash, The Black Crowes, (BTW the covers by wavergroup etc sound good as usual.)
With the onset of more complicated Guitar Hero games on the horizon this one might stand the test of time alongside the other PS2 guitar hero games better than we might expect. Better song choice than GH 80s and way more unlockables.

Not an Aerosmith fan? PASS on this one!!

I am very disappointed in this edition of Guitar Hero. While I am a luke-warm Aerosmith fan, I found the game pretty boring and the songs completely lame. I have enjoyed every other installment of the Guitar Hero games because of the variety of songs and different guitar styles. In the others, there was something there for everyone. In this edition, unless you are a hardcore Aerosmith fan, it is pretty much all the same. I really thing that the makers of Guitar Hero missed the mark on this one by focusing on a single band. Furthermore, if you were going to focus on a single band, aren't there other artists out there who have a music catalog that is more interesting and offers 'more' of the guitar hero ideal? I don't know that there is any single band that could pull off dedicating an entire video game to themselves.

Unless you are a huge Aerosmith fan, save your money and play the other Guitar Hero installments.

Excellent game!

A great way for the younger generation to learn about and appreciate Aerosmith. The video clips in between levels are a nice touch and a little something different from GH3. Nice graphics.

I also like the idea that the lyrics of the songs with suggestive lyrics are somewhat muted and more in the background, rather than loud and in your face, so that the entire family can play and enjoy the game. Not sure if this is an intentional feature, but it's much appreciated by moms like me.

If you are a GH3 fan, then you will love this version.

GET IT NOW!

This is the most fun of all the Guitar Hero series. (i must admit i had no interst in the 80's version.) Options are good, info and suprises along the way make it even better. If this doesn't rock you, you're ready for retirement and shuffle board!

You Don't Like Aerosmith, You Won't Like This

Same game play as GH3; nothing new here. If you don't like Aerosmith, and mostly old Aerosmith - you won't find anything new here. Of the songs the average fan under 40 will know Love in an Elevator, Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion, and Dream On are about it. Everything else is 70's era songs from the band. More guitar friendly, but not fun. Songs like Cryin' would have fit the game too. Even the 'opening band' songs aren't the most well know. From the Cult, it isn't "Fire." Also note, some of the songs by other band's aren't originally versions (Black Crowes is one).

Aerosmith style

This game rocks! Luckily, it is mostly bare of power ballads like Cryin', Amazing, and I Don't Want to Miss a Thing!!! They finally got it right, Aerosmith is dirty bluesy rock and roll. Everything from their 70's heydey is in here, such as Movin' Out, Nobody's Fault, Kings & Queens, the heavy Draw the Line...and even the solo in Love in an Elevator is innovative. Get this game now! If you don't like the fact that Aerosmith is off the charts, don't complain, keep it to yourself. They are, hands down, America's greatest hard rock act!

Avoid unless you are crazy about the band

The first 2 GH games were great - but this continues the downward trend. None of the games since the 8os version have been so much fun as the originals. The song selection to a casual fan is poor - obscure to me old or brand new Aerosmith songs. Buy the GH1/2 double pack or Rock Band instead

Love Areosmith, don't like this game

I don't like more than half the songs on this game. The guitar hero people should have waited for their drum set edition and maybe this game would be more fun. Areosmith is great and I love the band, that's why I got the game, but the other songs suck. The graphics are horrible and stiff.

Greatest song list on a guitar hero game since 80's version

The songs on this game are great. Espiecially the non aerosmith songs. I'm a moderate to abovermoderate aerosmith fan. But if you don't get jacked out of your mind playing love in an elevator, dream on, or sweet emotion, you're insane. The cult song and mott the hopple are extremely fun to play on expert. Good Show!!!
