    What!?!? Yet ANOTHER Guitar Hero revamp? Don't get me wrong, when GH first came out I busted my butt to get up to the great songs, rocked the '80s and laughed my AO at the "Psychobilly" kid(which was in my opinion staged) but after awhile it got old. After all, how many times can you smash at 5 buttons while flicking the bar?!? That's it...the whole game...follow along,What!?!? Yet ANOTHER Guitar Hero revamp?

At least Rockband gave us a few more options.… Expand

    This game delivers exactly what it promises. Master recordings with full band charts from some of the best GH songs. Great for drummers/singers or anyone who never got a chance to rock out to some of these classics before. One thing to note, however, is just how bad the IGN review is. Complaining that the charts are differrent from before? WOW way to prove you have no knowledge of the This game delivers exactly what it promises.

    This game in my eyes, is the best way to experience the series, the song list is superb, and he charting is too, bar one song, which is "Stop!", which on GH2 was a fun song, on here due to the realistic charting, isnt very fun anymore. the production values that went into the venuse i think is the best weve seen since Guitar hero 2. overall, i love this game, even if you disagree with theThis game in my eyes, is the best way to experience the series, the song list is superb, and he charting is too, bar one song, which is "Stop!", which on GH2 was a fun song, on here due to the realistic charting, isnt very fun anymore. the production values that went into the venuse i think is the best weve seen since Guitar hero 2. overall, i love this game, even if you disagree with the prcie, buy this game, you will not regret it.… Expand

    Yeah... It could have been better. The gameplay is the same as World Tour and Metallica, but the song list is really week. Yes, it features the best songs from Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero Encore Rocks the 80's, Guitar Hero III and Guitar Hero Aerosmith, but at least 10 or 20 aren't meant to be in this game.

    Pues eso, un greatest hits de la saga Guitar Hero. Grandísimas canciones (las mejores según ellos mismos), masterizadas, y a disfrutar. Una de las mejores tracklist de toda la saga. Reutilizando el motor de World Tour pero haciéndolo mucho más preciso.

    Despite the fact it really doesn’t live up to its name, Greatest Hits feels like a must for any Wii-owning hardcore Guitar hero fan.

    Guitar Hero: Smash Hits is an incredibly fun game and one that will definitely keep you entertained until Guitar Hero V arrives.

    I can only recommend this title to Guitar Hero enthusiasts that feel the band side of their collection is sorely missing the tracks included with this release. Everyone else out there could just as easily hold out for Guitar Hero 5, or wait for Smash Hits to hit the bargain bin or used section of their favorite game store.
