That we cant own it yet. That is all.
Creating and sharing songs is more effort than it’s worth. Too many slow songs in initial sets. Drum kit kick pedal lets the rest of the kit down
Great hardware, especially the drums, Excellent track list, You can make your own songs!, Does its own take of playing with a band, keeping the Guitar Hero feel, Cameos from famous musicians, Compatible with a wide array of guitars and drums
Career mode remains basic, Guitar duels, or boss battles, have to go, The guitars slider bar is more gimmick than anything else, Not compatible with the ION drums, The character models can be frighteningly ugly

Abstract: The explosion of plastic instrument games in the last few years has made reviews of such games a matter of opining on the song list and stress testing the instruments. Plus, it's easy as hell to write a review that declares the song list "great!" or ...
Abstract: Several years have passed since Guitar Hero first made expensive music peripherals ridiculously popular. Every iteration of the game brought better controllers, more realistic note tracking, and progressively impressive setlists (with the exception of ...
Abstract: Kudos to Harmonix and the innovations of Rock Band, they must have done something right for mega-selling Guitar Hero to notice what they were doing quite as quickly as they seem to have done. Yes, Guitar Hero IV, officially titled Guitar Hero World Tou...
Abstract: A match made in rock heaven as Guitar Hero successfully marries the best of its own franchise with the full-band treatment pioneered by its rival, Rock Band. Quality rocking ensues. "Tour around the world, rock around the clock." So crooned the Beasti...
