Customer Reviews

Disappointing.......
After waiting eagerly for the Aerosmith incarnation of the Guitar Hero franchise I will say I am saddened by it....
Yes - there are new guitars and outfits to buy, Great!!
Yes - there are new songs to play if you have grown tired of the ones on 1,2,3 and Rock The 80's.
Yes - you do get little interview type snippets about Aerosmith between each section of Career mode.
Yes - You can hear the crowd joining in on the encore songs which is a nice touch.
BUT it is VERY disappointing that there are not more of the well known Aerosmith songs.
More commonly known songs on the game are Love in an Elevator, Walk This Way (and remix including Run DMC), Ragdoll, Pink, Living On The Edge, Dream On and Sweet Emotion......
This game really needed other songs including fan favourites like Jaded, (Dude) Looks Like A Lady, Cryin, Janie's Got A Gun, Crazy, Angel, and Don't Wanna Miss A Thing.
The opening act songs are nothing to get excited about and the covers although ok aren't brilliant.
The game also surprised me by not having a Co-Op career option as this was a great addition to GH3.
Also Steve Tylers face is really weird.... I am surprised he allowed the game to go on general sale!!
After completing all the songs on day of purchase I immediately got my antidote of Guitar Hero 3 out and played it happily!!

To sum up the game.
If you don't like Aerosmith - I wouldn't bother with it
If you do like Aerosmith - I wouldn't bother with it
If you LOVE Aerosmith - You might want it but I wouldn't bother with it
Buy it if you want different songs to add to your guitar hero collection, but that's about it really.
This game has 3 stars as it is a fun game, but fans will be sad that it wasn't a LOT better.
If you want a Guitar Hero game, my humble opinion says get GH3.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith - Solus PS2
This game was the most fun I have had in ages. Having different levels makes it easy to play with every age and ability. It's brilliant fun, the graphics are good and the added extra of a guitar PS controller makes it more of an 'air-guitar' lovers dream!

Good... but not great
GOOD
*More great guitar hero fun!
*I love aerosmith so hence I love the songs
*I've found this game slightly easier than guitar hero 3 which was a little too difficult
*Career mode consists of 31 songs and an additional 10 songs are unlockable

BAD
*Only 20 or so of the songs are actually by Aerosmith
*No new multiplayer options
*Only half the amount of songs as guitar hero 3, and yet the game is the same price
*What if you don't like Aerosmith? - you might not like it
