Small fixes to the game engine improve playability and additions such open bass note sustains and ghost notes on drums add to the experience. The setlist is top notch and just about every song deserves to be in the game unlike previous entries that had a lot of lackluster songs. The story may be cheesy but the whole thing is tongue-in-cheek and the overall atmosphere really harks back to the days of GH3. This game does what it sets out to do, please hardcore music game fans. While some will attack the lack of innovation, this game was meant to do one thing: please fans of past games. If you enjoyed GH3/GH2 you can't find another game (nor will you) that resembles them so well. RB3 is promising new features that may turn out great but WoR looks to have the best shredding available.… Expand

   Best one since 2 or Legends of Rock. I wouldn't go about believing many of the negative reviews put out there. Most of them are written byBest one since 2 or Legends of Rock. I wouldn't go about believing many of the negative reviews put out there. Most of them are written by disgruntled Rock Band fans who hate Guitar Hero to begin with. The last Neversoft installment is actually quite good. It takes the Guitar Hero 5 engine, tweaks it and refines it a bit into a much more hardcore title.
   
   The story mode is cheesy. But so was the story mode in Legends of Rock. Remember those weird animated cutscenes? Those are here too, except they use 3D models with motion capture, and they look great. The graphics are nice to look at, especially when you play Bohemian Rhapsody. The game itself is, admittedly just the same as it was before, but because of the music you're playing, it's made all the better.
   
   I haven't played a rhythm game with such a good setlist on the disc before. And a lot of the songs are very challenging too. Holy Wars, Speed and Sudden Death are really fun to play. And of course 2112 by Rush is in here. Can't go wrong with that.
   
   The menus are kind of weird, but they're easy to get used to. Party Play is here, and regular quickplay if you're not interested in the challenges they set up for you in the story mode. It's a very convenient system.
   
   Top it off, you can import Guitar Hero: Metallica starting today and you can buy a Soundgarden album for DLC. It's really a game for the fans, and if you're not a fan then it's not your cup of tea. Anyone who likes guitar games in general, you should definitely pick this up. It is loads of fun.… Expand

   Well, it's another fall season around here, so I guess it's time for another Guitar Hero. This year we have Warriors of Rock. It's not veryWell, it's another fall season around here, so I guess it's time for another Guitar Hero. This year we have Warriors of Rock. It's not very good. It's the last installment of Neversoft's efforts and the final product shows, what with such little thought put into this game.
   
   Let's start with the core of this game, the story mode. Yes, I'm as suprised as you are that this even has a story, but let's just go with it. Gene Simmons gets his butt kicked by "The Beast" and has to get his magic guitar of ultimate destiny to defeat it. If this sounds familiar, then you've played Brütal Legend. All this really turns out to be is a flashy career mode. Sadly, though, the ability to continue the career (oh, excuse me, Story) is to keep playing in a single venue until you get the super-power. Before, you could move on without playing every song, but now they made it very restricted and uncontrollable. Honestly, there wouldn't be any real point to playing Story mode if there wasn't any songs to unlock because it's just dull and boring.
   
   You may recall that I mentioned superpowers in the last paragraph. Yes, the characters turn into X-Men rip-offs and give you some flashy powers. It's disappointing, though, that 6 of 8 powers are exactly the same (play exceptionally well and earn more stars). Once again, the point of it all is lacking.
   
   I shouldn't even have to talk about the gameplay. Guitar Hero has been out since 2005. I'm sure if you're looking at a review, you alreadly have at least a faint idea of what to do. I will at least say that nothing has really affected the major gameplay of it all.
   
   Finally, you can't have a music game without music. Warriors of Rock decides to go that metal route, which means that if you're not that great of a plastic guitar player, then you get to eat dirt because this game wanted to appeal to the weirdos who can 5-star Raining Blood on Expert. The game has also reflected the metal sound into it's universe (characters, venues) which makes it all the more stranger when non-metal songs get played. I love Bohemian Rhapsody, and I'm sure you do too, but good God is it a bad song for this game. I love it, but it and many other songs just don't mix well with this theme, especially when four demons from Hell start getting in your face asking if this is the real life.
   
   Still, it's Guitar Hero. It's still an okay game. GH5 was pretty good, and nothing really changed since that one. If you're just looking for another pack of songs, then go for it, but if you're looking for some steps to try to make this game seem fresh and new again, then I'd wait for Rock Band 3, a much better looking game. It actually saddens me that this'll be Neversoft's last Hoo-Rah, because their replacements are even worse.… Expand

   Sadly, the addition of a so-called "quest mode" does nothing to hide the same old flaws that have been present for the last several iterationsSadly, the addition of a so-called "quest mode" does nothing to hide the same old flaws that have been present for the last several iterations of the Guitar Hero franchise. Activision continues to simply milk the brand name for all its worth, and does nothing to innovate, improve or expand the game into something worthwhile. If this has been their first release...perhaps the game would warrant a 5 or a 6, but they've been in the business of making rhythm games for too long now, and should know better. Their stunning lack of quality and polish, the narrowly-focused playlist, the overcharted tracks and general disregard for the music itself...not to mention the focus on nothing but getting a high score... This new Guitar Hero is just a sad copy of the last few that came before it. If you honestly enjoy music (and not just high scores), then save your money and pick up something like Rock Band 3. You'll be much happier for it in the long run… Expand
