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.

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

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.

I basically purchased this as an excuse to pick up a second guitar so my wife and i (and friends) can play coop and have more fun with GH:3.
That said I'm satisfied with the second guitar.
The actual game...I'm playing just straight up on Hard right now and only one song have I had to play a second time in order to beat it (a song i'd never heard before). I read that this was easier than GH:3 but I am a little disappointed at the magnitude of how much easier it is.
That said there are a lot of really fun songs to play on here and some kind of boring ones. I haven't played all the bonus songs yet but I do suspect that this will be something I throw in to play a song or two then go back to GH:3

To be fair to everyone, I should state that I am approaching this item as a forty-something man who has been familiar with Aerosmith almost from the start of their career. While I am not a devoted Aerosmith fan, I have owned a number of their albums over the years and was happy that they revived their career after so many difficulties. I knew before I bought this game that it would feature mostly Aerosmith with songs from all stages of their time as a band, and of the forty songs in the game, there are twenty-four Aerosmith and three Joe Perry songs. One does not have to idolize Aerosmith to enjoy this game, but it would obviously help.
Here are the problems I found with the game.
1. Although we are supposed to be following the band's career, the songs do not appear in chronological order.
2. When the "star power" functions, the audience does not clap along to the beat of the song. It follows an arbitrary fixed rhythm that does not change from song to song. This glitch adversely affects

When it comes to music games, they've always shown their stuff very well for the PS3, Playstation 2, and Xbox 360. Unfortunately, where music games are the strengths of other video games systems, that sadly has been the weakness for the Nintendo Wii. After a pair of dissapoiments from Guitar Hero III, where gamers were having trouble hearing the songs they were jamming to in stereo sound, and with the recent release of Rock Band that unfortunately lacks in online gaming and downloading new songs to jam to and those extra tracks are set to be released as seperate game discs for the Wii starting in July. While die hard Guitar Hero fans are anxiously awaiting Guitar Hero IV, they now have a new chance to Walk This Wii-Way.
