Customer Reviews

Leaves you wanting more
Having religiously played all previous GH games, this game was an absolute must have being a big Aerosmith fan. I already completed the game on expert, so here is a brief review:

- Difficulty to actually beat a song is quite a bit easier than GH3. However, it seems that achieving 5 stars is much more difficult this time around. You need to play a song near perfect in order to snag 5 stars.

- Song list is great, but they left out some of my favorites (Cryin', Jaded, Dude Looks Like a Lady, Janie's Got a Gun). I really hope these are offered as downloads in the near future. Other songs I love (Don't Want to Miss a Thing) didn't make it, but this makes sense since I don't think they would translate good into this type of game.

- Timing to hit the notes seems to be less forgiving. You really need to nail the notes spot on, whereas the previous GH games seemed to be more forgiving. Hammer-ons and pull-offs do feel about the same as GH3, though.

Overall this was no disappointment and will prove to entertain for many more hours. Looking forward to seeing what type of downloadable content becomes available!

Guitar Hero Aerosmtih
Guitar Hero-Aerosmith *****

While trying not to be completely biased, as Aerosmith is my all time favorite band. Feeling that all the other Guitar Hero games could have been better, this one kills them all. The graphics are much, much, much better. The songs selection is better not only because it is Aerosmith but because it is actually them playing the songs, some live and some studio cuts. Also many of the songs from other bands are the originals not covers like on previous Guitar Hero games.

As a fan who has seen the band live several time I must say they are captured here really well. Perry, Whitford, and Hamiltons guitars are exact replicas which is killer.

The story line follows the bands rise, as well as your own. the wireless guitar is cool, as it the Aero face plate. What is also cool is when Aerosmith records their new album they will release each track as it is completed for download for the game. Way worth the money!

No warranty for guitar if it doesn't work
Buyer beware on guitar hero products. Even though the product is supposed to have a 60 day warranty the company is not providing any warranty support. I purchased this product and the guitar doesn't work (no surprise as I see this on a lot of reviews). When I attempted to contact support at Activision they say they only support Guitar Hero World Tour warranty and direct you to RedOctane for support (310-255-2050). RedOctane only has a recorded message telling you that they won't provide warranty on guitars that do not work and you need to contact Activision at 800-229-6306 or 800-205-4713. Activision doesn't provide support for the guitar and tells you to contact RedOctane. I managed to get a LiveChat going with RedOctane at their website but as soon as I told them my guitar didn't work they disconnected the chat and didn't answer my question. I would not purchase any old Guitar Hero products as there is no warranty support and the guitars are known to have lots of problems. The game itself is no where near as good as Rock Band and that equipment is better quality.
