    Don't get me wrong, I like guitar hero and all but the fact is, World Tour is just set to be so great so the bar is pretty high... Aerosmith isn't special so hardcore GH fans won't be amazed but if you love Aerosmith and enjoy Guitar Hero this isn't a terrible pick up.

    Definitely a Rental:
    Very short setlist and only a few bonus tracks. None of the flying solos like in the past iteration, nor does this game have any fast picking songs. This is basically rock the 80's, a few new characters, even fewer songs, no new gameplay elements, and still a $60 price tag.

    It does have a good soundtrack. Unfortunately a good song to listen to doesn't always correspond to fun to play songs and this game fails on that distinction too many times.
    Also the game is a lot easier than gh3.
    They did improve a lot on the achievement list. The majority of achievements are for single player with a few multiplayer and xbox live ones to shoot for. Completing it on expert counts for hard, med, and easy so you don't have to bore yourself playing on easy for the achievement.
    Bottom Line:
    If you're a guitar hero fan you will get entertainment out of this game, but not enough to buy it. I would recommend RENTING the title, playing through it (doesn't take long at all) and save yourself 60 bucks.    … Expand

    An entry to the Guitar Hero series focusing on the history of one band is a risky move, but fans of Aerosmith should enjoy this retrospective.

    With bonus songs from Perry's solo efforts and a fully animated Steven Tyler swallowing the microphone, the game's target audience is very clear -- and for them, the game's existence is justified.

    It's just sort of a bummer not to see anything new brought to the table other than a digital Steven Tyler (which actually looks less freakish than the real Steven Tyler).
