Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is boring.
Lets be honest. Aerosmith was an awesome band, they are not a good game though! Having played only 2 hours total now, I am absolutely bored out of my mind! The songs play nice, and the new guitar is good, but you can only play so much Aerosmith till you don’t want to play anymore.
Yes, I will admit that I am a bit of a Guitar Hero Zealot, but being the resident efficienado I needed to play the game and give a decent review. I knew better. Going in, I knew that this game would be boring and mundane, but I HAD to get it anyways. Whats worse is I had to get the guitar controller as well (I have a few broken whammy bars).
All venting aside, here are some reasons GH:Aerosmith sucks.
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith does not have a Coop Career Mode.
That’s right Aerosmith has no Career Mode for Coop. This really really sucks. Seriously, by now enough of us have made enough friends (or converted) in order to play the coop Guitar Hero. The Guitar Hero Coop mode was really cool. Something about banging through 41 songs / 6 beers in a row is just awesome.
This version of Aerosmith DOES have normal coop, but that gets a bit pointless after a few songs… boring boring boring.
Aerosmith songs well put together.
The Songs are really well put together. Having played a lot of Rock band lately, it is nice to see this. It will be interesting to see how Guitar Hero World Tour will fair against Rock Band 2, but I think the tightness of the guitar songs in Aerosmith is a good indicator that the tightness from GH3 is still staying strong.
GH:Aerosmith won’t Play Guitar Hero 3 downloaded content.
This is such a pain in the ass. You can’t play your Hard Drive songs in GH:Aerosmith. I thought that this may be the one nice thing that would come out of this merger… but nope. I am wondering how this will be handled in the future of the Guitar Hero Franchise. Lets be honest, we are shelling out loads of cash ever week to download the latest songs… will we be able to play them down the road on Guitar Hero 5? or will I be shelling out more hard earned money?
Rock Band 2 will support Rock Band Origional Songs.
My Aerosmith Disk is Unreadable
This may be my Xbox… but only some of the disks do this, and my new Aerosmith disk is one of them. I will be playing half way through a song and next thing I know, I can’t do anything. This is a real pain the ass, but O well. I need to get used to it if I own crappy Microsoft hardware.
GH:Aerosmith Final Summary
Skip it. Seriously, unless you are loaded or LOVE aerosmith, just skip this one. You will thank me later, trust me.
