  • Summary: Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is the first game built around the legendary music of "America's Greatest Rock ‘N Roll Band": Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer. This latest Guitar Hero installment puts players in the shoes of Perry (guitar), Whitford (guitar) and HaHamilton (bass), as they rock out alongside frontman Tyler and drummer Kramer. Gamers experience Aerosmith’s Grammy winning career, from their first gig to becoming rock royalty, in a way that no other entertainment vehicle offers. As fans progress through their careers in the game, they can rock out to scores of Aerosmith’s greatest hits, as well as songs from celebrated artists that the band has either performed with or has been inspired by in some way. Venues from historical moments during the band's illustrious career offer the experience of "sweet emotion" and further capture the essence of the band's rise to fame. [Activision] Expand

  1. 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.
  2. It's a good extension of the series and a nice way to introduce the older Aerosmith fan base.
  3. It’s a shame that only a few real hits have found their way into the game.
  4. If you do some soul-searching and decide that you''re not Steve Tyler's biggest admirer, then you will probably end up disappointed with the game when you finally get to play it.

    This game deserves an 8,Because,I think they focused too much on the character's and there new outfits.This game has a few glitches they need to tend to.It has very good songs.The addition of adding DMC for songs King of Rock and Walk this way was a very creative. Expand

    I completely expected more of the same. If you play this, you should know that's what you're getting into. The "doesn't innovate" criticisms are really irrelevant: not every game needs to. The problem if that the songs just aren't very good. Of course, there's lots of aerosmith, and you have to like that, and they indeed did include some of the best songs you'd expect to see, but the 30-something songs all-in-all just weren't very exciting to play. Rent it, beat it, send it back. They aren't enjoyable enough that you'll want to go over and over mastering them. Expand

    Basing a game around Aerosmith is disappointing at best. Maybe they should try a game based on music within the last 10 years.
