    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.

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

    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!

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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 censoredThis 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 »
