 Awesome November 7, 2008
Just one thing to say, this game is awesome, lots of fun, the new guitar design and buttons are a big plus.
The band mode and the bass mode are a great idea; lets you play with more friends at the same time.
Great internet compatibility too.
 Boring & Dull for the Guitar November 4, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I only purchased the game to play the guitar on the songs. I was disappointed with this guitar hero. After playing Guitar Hero III for the past year, the World Tour songs seem boring. The guitar parts aren't complicated even on hard level. It's like they tried to appeal to all the instruments by putting mediocre instrument parts to play. I was bored after the first hour. The game is called Guitar Hero and the guitar parts are barely existent. If you're looking for the whole kit, I would go with Rockband which has better songs and is overall more fun.
A Mix of Strengths and Weaknesses November 1, 2008

Having played Rock Band and RB2 at a friend's house for some time, we were waiting with great anticipation for GHWT as our first rhythm game purchase. I have to say that my feelings about the game are mixed now that I have played it a bit. I like quite a few of the songs, and I like the bass guitar and lead guitar parts fine, although they do raise the difficulty level from previous GH titles.
My chief frustration with the game is its vocal part. It is MUCH more difficult than RB's vocal part, and I think the way that it scores vocal performance leaves very little room for error, even at the "easy" setting. The mix seems off in many songs, making it hard to hear well enough to sing correctly, and the "freestyle" parts can be very annoying when you know perfectly well that there isn't supposed to be any vocal track in that part of the song and you have to make up something just to fill up the empty space (honestly, RB's cowbell/tambourine part makes much more sense).
I'm not "hardcore" by any stretch of the imagination; I play guitar on medium at best and prefer to 100% on easy rather than struggle through a higher level. However, since I know a lot of guys out there buy band games with their families/girlfriends/wives in mind, it seems useful to point out that the women and casual gamers in your life will be MUCH happier singing along with your band in Rock Band than in GHWT. I feel that RB's approach to vocals is easier to follow and to hear, while GHWT's is overly precise even at low difficulty levels and makes for a very frustrated singer. I would sing RB songs until I lose my voice completely and have a blast the whole time, but I get angry with GHWT after just a few songs and switch back to playing bass instead. I think a casual gamer ought to be able to enjoy the game and do well on EASY, and that's just not the case with this title.
In short, the hardcore folks will love it, but those wanting a game for the whole family or for casual groups of friends might find RB2 the better choice.
This ROCKS! October 30, 2008

I am enjoying this one a lot. My guitars have beeng gather dust since I blazed through Aerosmith and this game has brought them back out to clutter the living room for an impromptu jam session. I have not yet messed around with the freestyle but enjoy all the new improvements that have been made as far as customization and gameplay. If you liked the rest you'll like this one. its the best so far.
Very Fun and Addicting October 30, 2008

I just got this game last night and I really love it!! It has a better song selection and I love the create and rocker! The only two things that I didn't like is one - it was too hard to figure out how to create another band for my husband. It had something to do with the settings. and two - you have to play the whole gig at a time instead of just one song so if you have to quit after one song it sucks. After we got those figured out it - the game was a blast!! I haven't tried the drums yet - just the guitar but I highly suggest this game!!
