M+M Monday XXXIX – Guitar Hero 5

It is that time of year again…when a new Guitar Hero game comes out. This time it was Guitar Hero 5. They were (or still are) running a special that when you buy this game, you get Guitar Hero Van Halen for free! Cannot beat that offer!

When I first started playing this, in expert of course, I was not too impressed. Songs were all over the place! I guess after loving Guitar Hero Metallica that this game did not stand a chance. I was only partly right! After spending some more time with it, alone and with a friend, it is pretty good. The fact you can just jump on in and play any song without the need to unlock them is great when playing with other people. And there are some real fun songs on here to play (Dire Straights, Wolf Mother, MUSE, etc.). The inclusion of tough songs with a keyboard is OK for my and pushing it for difficutly. These songs with a keyboard or piano are tough, but it is “guitar hero”!

If your a fan of this franchise or type of game, still is fun to rock on! I’ll keep trying to finish the last 10-15% on expert and also eagerly await my copy of Guitar Hero Van Halen!
