Name: Guitar Hero Aerosmith.
Platform: Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2.

Yes, Guitar Hero has returned once again to rock the hell out of your system. Whether you have one of any of the three next gen consoles or a Playstation 2, you will be able to rock out and live those broken dreams of your high school band never getting a record deal. But this time, you'll be playing with Aerosmith.


For those who own Guitar Hero III may find themselves suffering from severe deja vu when you load this game up to find it looks pretty much the same as Legends of Rock. You will also find that not much else has changed in terms of the gameplay and the games content. Guitar Hero Aerosmith gives you over 40 songs to jam to, most of which are by Aerosmith. You have such Aerosmith hits as No Surprize, Dream On, Walk This Way and Make It, along with a handful of songs hand picked by Aerosmith for the game. If you go to play a song by Aerosmith, Mr.Big Chin and the rest of the Guitar Hero crew will be replaced by Aerosmith themselves on stage, and each individual song has it's own Aerosmith character animations with it.

The career mode takes you into an in depth look at Aerosmith's rise to fame, how they started, and how they came to be. As with other Guitar Hero titles, you play sets of songs in order to advance to the next venue. It's simple and unchanged. Also joining Aerosmith in the game is Run DMC, who will appear on stage to sing alongside Aerosmith to their joint remake of Walk This Way, as well as his own rap/rock song, King of Rock.


Those who have beaten their Guitar Hero III disc senseless and are looking for something more challenging best beware this game. During my time playing, I found the title to be much easier than it's predecessor. The difficulty has obviously been altered, Expert offers the same amount of difficulty as Hard mode did on Legends of Rock, if not less. The song list doesn't really do justice for this either, with nothing to finger exhausting. With that said though, there are no bad songs on the game. You will enjoy some more than others, but none of them are wasting space.

To be honest, it makes you wonder why Activision didn't just make all this content downloadable. I mean for the games price tag, it seems a bit much to pay for what seems to be nothing more than 40 new songs. The game plays the same in every way, online and off. If you are a dead set hardcore fan of Aerosmith or you own Guitar Hero III and want more songs to jam to, then this game will keep you entertained, atleast until Guitar Hero World Tour. If you are a Guitar Hero vet who is looking for something new and difficult, this isn't for you.
