Guitar Hero 5 Game Only - Guitar Controller Required To Play

The game that started the modern music phenomenon is back, with more songs, more bands and more party game action. Just like Guitar Hero: World Tour you can play as a whole band with your friends, with lead guitar, bass, drums and vocals all working together in the same song.

What's new for Guitar Hero 5 though is that anyone can play any combination of instruments, so you can have four lead guitars if you want or even swap roles mid song. As a result each individual has their own Star Power meter and it's up to the best players to save others if things go wrong.

To encourage even more co-operation there's also the new Band Moments bonus, which doles out big rewards if every member of the team can complete a section together. With the RockFest feature adding tons of new game modes as well this is the best value Guitar Hero yet.

  • Monster of rock: The biggest Guitar Hero yet with new ways to play, new rewards and the biggest line-up of master recordings ever seen.
  • Jam with the band: Party Play option lets players join or leave a song whenever they want, or even change instruments or difficultly level mid-song.
  • Rock festival: New game modes including Momentum, which changes the difficultly as you play, and Elimination, where the weakest link player is dropped if they mess up.
  • Special moments: New "Band Moments" offer big rewards if everyone can co-operate for a set stretch of rock perfection.
  • Hall of fame: A record-breaking 85 songs by 83 different artists, including The White Stripes, Arctic Monkeys, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty and more.
  • In the all-new Party Play mode, players can now jump in or drop out of gameplay seamlessly, without interrupting their jam session
  • Play with any in-game instrument combination in any game mode - multiple vocalists

Customer Reviews

Everythings better just not the setlist4
Like the new features and avatar use, overall a nice improvement from world tour; however the setlist lets its down a bit. Theres some great songs, but most majority just bore me im afraid- next year if improved again thats great, but they gota do something about these slowly dying setlists.

This is supposed to be about ROCK MUSIC!2
The great thing about Guitar Hero is that it used to always feature tunes you wanted to air guitar to, even if you weren't playing the game.

The trouble with the game now is bands want to use it to first of all, make money by licensing their songs to the game and secondly, use the game to promote their stuff.

The game needs to have classic rock tracks to keep the interest up but with this set list, it just fails miserably.

Do not buy1
Im 17 year old and love Rhythm games, I have played every Guitar Hero and Rockband game (Recent ones like Rock Band Beatles and Band Hero i have left out)
Guitar Hero 5 had nothing in the way of Rock songs, I enjoyed songs like Muse - Plug in Baby, Rammstein - Du Hast and Vampire Weekend - A Punk but when it comes down to it, 6 songs does not justify a game, Other songs like Stevee wonder and Elton John turned my blood cold,If your expecting hard songs to play like i was, i suggest you go back to GH3 and put on the Devil Went Down To Georgia or Through the Fire and Flames as nothing is challenging about this game.

Sorry but i had to rate it 1 Star
