Guitar Hero 5 Game
Guitar Controller

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 vocali

Next!
Most people know what to expect with Guitar Hero games. For me the problem with the franchise comes with the quality of the plastic instruments. I had expected the new red guitar with the new game but this actually came with the World Tour guitar. If that wasn't an issue in itself the fact that I already had this one meant I didn't actually play with the guitar supplied with the 5 th game until some time after purchase, only to find that the wammy handle is so loose it is practically falling off.

My advice for people buying this franchise: fully test the instruments ASAP as you might end up like I did: with a guitar that prevents you from enjoying the game as you should be able to

Just great fun
Not sure what all the negative criticisms of the guitar are all about, i bought this for the experience - the colour and shape of the guitar doesn't change anything in my life (as long as its guitar shaped). As long as its got a strap, a whammy bar, and 5 coloured buttons, i'm away. The song selection as you can see has a bit of everything which i think is great as it doesn't concentrate on genre specifics, although the one track i was looking forward to actually turned out to be a bit crap... The Gorillaz.. but hey ho, i've learnt loads of new music from these games, and for me, thats a big bonus. Anyway, game is Guitar Hero, not breaking any new ground with this version, its just more of the same fun.

new game,old guitar
I`m very disappointed,the game includes the old les paul guitar ,instead of the one shown on the pictures.
