Activision Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Special Edition Bundle for Nintendo Wii

A few weeks ago I borrowed Guitar Hero III from a friend, and thought it was the greatest thing since amplifier distortion. I figured I'd get the new Aerosmith edition so that between the two of us, we'd have both games. Well, at least I saved him a few bucks. First off, I will say that the guitar controller is cool, and there's nothing wrong with the game mechanics. The bottom line is that the game just isn't as good as the previous game. Why isn't as good?

1. Fewer songs
2. Less variety of songs
3. All old Aerosmith tunes, nothing from the 90's/Alicia Sylverstone video era to today.
4. Small annoyances that were added to make this game 'different', although it's nearly identical to the previous version.
5. Did I say no variety? I mean, Aerosmith is cool and all, but they could have put more songs on the disk.

So, that's my beef. Maybe I'll save someone a few bucks on here besides the biggest fans of Aerosmith.

Aerosmith flavored Guitar Hero that doesn't offer too much

Activision Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Special Edition Bundle for Nintendo Wii

Since Activision and Neversoft took control of the Guitar Hero franchise, we've been getting a steady stream of sequels and spin-off's, with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith being the latest game in the series. Featuring a pretty good collection of songs spanning Aerosmith's long career, you'll find that besides adding the Aerosmith-themed presentation, the game itself is basically identical to Guitar Hero III. This isn't really a bad thing, but considering this is a full-priced game, it would have been nice if there would have been a little more overall variations. The track list here is quite good though, with even some bonus tracks from Joe Perry's Joe Perry Project to find and play too, along with some bonus interviews with the band. Getting through the game isn't that much of a challenge though if you're a Guitar Hero veteran, as the game proves to be not all that difficult compared to previous Guitar Hero games. It should also go without saying that if you aren't a fan of Aerosmith, this

Guitar Hero Aerosmith: $99 of Mediocrity

Activision Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Special Edition Bundle for Nintendo Wii

The best part of GH Aerosmith for the Wii is the guitar. It's the same as the GH3 guitar, but with an Aerosmith faceplate. Too bad the bundle costs the same as the PS3/Xbox version, although all the hardware technology (motion sensors, wireless, etc) is in the Wii remote, but that's also true of GH3.

The song choices are extremely poor. I'm a fairly big Aerosmith fan, but I tend to forget that over their 30+ year career, they've made a lot of less than stellar songs. Somehow, a lot of these songs managed to find their way into the game. Also, the graphic quality is poor, even compared to GH3 on the Wii. Don't expect Steven Tyler and Joe Perry to look as good as Slash did in GH3.

Overall the game's a pretty big disappointment, and the negatives seem to be things that could have been easily fixed.
