    But ultimately how much you personally enjoy Guitar Hero: Aerosmith depends on how much you like the band. If you love Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is easily the best Guitar Hero yet.

    It’s a shame that only a few real hits have found their way into the game.

    Neversoft and RedOctane played it safe by changing little to nothing in the Guitar Hero franchise with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.

    This Is an offering to a niche and one that doesn't really have the greatest appeal to people outside that niche.

    Worse still, this is the only version of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith that lacks online play.

    The latest Guitar Hero is an Aerosmith fan's dream come true, but the game's narrow focus and lack of content will prove unappealing to many others.

    The game isn't very challenging or long, so you can just rent it. But whatever you do, get your hands on it and start strumming!

    I am by no means the ideal Guitar Hero player so I enjoyed the less rigorous songs that this version offers thanks to Joe Perry’s repetitive riffs.

    It's not that the game has the wrong songs, but that it has so few of them. For $50, you can't help but feel a little cheated when all you get is Guitar Hero III with a light coat of paint and barely half the songs.

    It's fun and bright, easy to pick up and play and has some moments of real humour in it. At the same time it's tacky and hackneyed, annoying to anyone not involved and lacks any real backbone of gameplay or narrative to support its weight.

    If you're a Guitar Hero-loving Aerosmith fan then go and get it already - add a couple more points to the final score! For everybody else, it could be one to miss; after all, Guitar Hero World Tour (and the DS' On Tour) isn't too far away.

    This game is a complete disaster. The ONLY GH game I've ever returned the store...unbelievable! All the aerosmith songs are heavily censored (for some odd reason) and most of the other songs are unbearable (such as the annoying all the young dudes). Half the good stuff from their older days is rerecorded in a nausiating fashion, and their songs of the 80s such as the other side, dude looks like a lady, and angel are missing altogether. truly an all time low point in Guitar Hero's history.… Full Review »

    I generally like all of the other gh games but this one is the worst. when i pick a player thats who i wanna use mainly because of the color of the track the notes come down, forcing me to use perrys blue background makes it hard for me to pick out the blue notes. and the song selection sucks. i was hoping for a few less aerosmith songs and more cover bands (which were lame) but we get a lot of songs, many i never wanna play again. in general a lot of aerosmiths songs seem like they were {originally} written just to fill record/cd space and go on forever with very little change.… Full Review »

    Very poor song selection. The sound seems off key on a lot of songs(Live Versions). Non Aerosmith songs are not well known and not fun to listen to.
