Guitar Hero 5

[magic_johnson!]

Already released in America, gets released this month sometime in Australia. Might already have been released. Had many a good review. I will be getting it with the game + guitar, so i will have a full band set with the world tour stuff. A new inclusion is that your band doesn't have to be guitar, bass, drums and singer; it can be anything, be it 2 guitars and 2 singers or even 4 drummers. It has also added party play, which as far as i can tell just plays through the songs, and you can come in and out on any instrument at any time.

 

[Kerrby]

The setlist is the real killer for Guitar Hero 5. Instead of sticking to it's roots like the original games (when bands like Pantera, Megadeth and Iron Maiden were common) they bring in bands like Kings of Leon and David Bowie.

Yeah...no thanks.

Although there are a few good metal bands in there (Children of Bodom, Rammstein for example) but it still disappoints me.

 

[magic_johnson!]

Take Kings of Leon over Megadeath anyday. And so would 90% of people in Australia at the moment.

What's wrong with Bowie?

What's wrong with Bowie?

Holy s**t.

Someone was bad mouthing the man?

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Kerrbie thinks he's alternative. Let him go...

Kerrbie thinks he's alternative. Let him go...

Bowie >> Metal

I think we should sweep KOL under the carpet for now..

 

[jordanrobbo3]

Just gave the set list a once over...Bowie AND Queen. Please as if it's bad.

 

[scooterb]

Under Pressure, or separately?

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

I reckon its awesome. All the Pretty Faces is worth a purchase for me alone I reckon!!

 

[jordanrobbo3]

Under Pressure, or separately?

Under Pressure and then he has Fame.

Lets all rock out to bands like "3 Doors Down, Elton John, Blink 182 and Gorillaz", yeah that's the reason I buy Guitar Hero .

 

[scooterb]

I just checked out the playlist..... I personally think that they chose the wrong songs for certain artists (eg. they should have put in 'The Stroke' by Billy Squier instead).

20th Century Boy is a surprising inclusion and a good one at that. It has a sick riff and is one of my favourite T-Rex songs.

There's a lot of generic, untalented 00's bands in there though.

 

[Mancey]

Pick the teenie in this thread

More bowie i say. Moar!

 

[omit]

needs moar Sunn O))). any sludge or drone actually
and some epic post rock tracks from gy!be, mogwai and red sparowes

Piss off, Bowie is a legend. Great to see some real diversity in the songlist, something for everyone. Believe it or not, it is possible to enjoy Guitar Hero and not be a metal fan. I really like it, and I think it'll be a great game.

 

[Juggs Magnetic]

It seems odd that they would put the Dylan version of All along the Watchtower.. surely the hendrix version would be better to play on guitar.

Songs from the list I like / am looking foward to playing. Guitar Hero doesn't have to be all about metal dude.

 

[rocker_oz33]

it kinda looks funny on Guitar Hero full metal heads with moo hawks singing songs from the 70's and m Jackson tunes

do you have to unlock songs on world tour..? it says there are 80 odd songs but l can only see 20 odd whats the go with that ..?

 

[midorigreenwood]

seems like a pretty good set list Kerrbs :/

hmmm..... why did it take till Guitar Hero 5 for 20th Century boy to make the cut?

would seem like a pretty obvious choice for this type of game.

Tv on the Radio - Wolf like me.... sold!!!

 

[Conan Troutman]

Great to finally see A Perfect Circle's Judith in a game.

Think I'll be passing on this one. Have got all previous GH's except Aerosmith and Smash Hits, but I'd rather just buy more songs for Rock Band I think. Especially with the upcoming Rock Band Network due out soon.

Until Activision get their act together with supplying more, better and cheaper downloadable songs (rather than a new game every few months), they are way behind the eight ball compared to Harmonix in my opinion. At least they've added the option to import GH4 songs.

 

[magic_johnson!]

do you have to unlock songs on world tour..? it says there are 80 odd songs but l can only see 20 odd whats the go with that ..?

Yes. You can get them all by doing the whole career or by using a cheat. This is not so on guitar hero 5 though.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

Still no Led Zep.

Still no cred

 

[magic_johnson!]

Released tomorrow. Goin into town tomorrow n might pop into JB to have a look a maybe buy.

 

[scooterb]

Still no Led Zep.

Still no cred

I don't think Led Zep would ever lend their name to such a franchise.

They don't even let movies or TV shows use their songs.

A 'Guitar Hero: Led Zeppelin' would be out of this world.
