Game Overview

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is a music video game developed by Neversoft and distributed by Activision. The game was released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, with a Wii version developed by Vicarious...

The Good

Includes Run DMC's version of "Walk This Way" and not the one with Britney Spears, Most people will appreciate the kinder difficulty, Motion-captured Steven Tyler, Aerosmith fans will love it.

The Bad

Too much Joe Perry solo music, Not enough content to justify full price, Ultraskilled players might find the game too easy, Not much here for people who don't like Aerosmith.

The Bottom Line

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith puts players in the shoes of Perry (guitar), Whitford (guitar) and Hamilton (bass)as they rock out alongside frontman Tyler and drummer Kramer. Gamers experience Aerosmith's legendary career, from their first gig to becoming rock royalty.

As players progress through the game, they can rock out to scores of Aerosmith's greatest hits, as well as songs from celebrated artists that the band has either performed with or has been inspired by in some way. Venues from historical moments during the band's illustrious career offer the experience of "sweet emotion" and further capture the essence of the band's rise to fame.

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.

The game does provide a challenge, but unlocked characters from GH 3 should have rolled over into this title. And while there is a great list of songs here, others that might have provided a little more variety to the compendium of the band's best songs

It's tough to get excited about Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. It's essentially a re-release of Guitar Hero III with a new song list and some new avatars.
