Wait, it moves away from the shredtastic tone of the previous games? I think you meant to say it moves away from the mainstream leanings of the previous games and towards the shredtastic tones of GH2 and GH3.

 

[rembrandtqeinstein]

Warriors of rock has Keep on Rockin in the Free World. That alone is a great reason to get it.

 

[StreetBushido]

They gave Megadeath the freedom to create three new songs full of solos! The game is gonna be nigh impossible to beat now .

 

[Arkhangelsk]

It has Black Widow of La Porte by John 5. Any argument not to get it is invalid.

 

[sizzle949]

Not gonna lie, saw the words "Rush's epic 2112" and pretty much thought "buy" right away. It'll be the first one I've gotten since 2.

Activision cancels out any positive part of any game they corrupt.

Gene Simmons as the God of Rock? No thanks.

As long as I get to play some John 5, I'm happy.

Yeah, i read that sentence a couple times and it still doesn't make sense. No more shredding, but hey, here's a crap load of megadeth.....

And what's the difference between shredtastic tones and rock?

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Maybe it's finally time for me to pick up a plastic guitar...Lords knows I'm never going to touch a real one.

 

[Dr Megadeth]

DAVE!

An adaptor for use of real guitars on these types of video games will help so many guitarists develop their own ability as well as having fun at the same time.

Finally an actual reason to play the career mode. After they unlocked every single song straight form the start in Guitar Hero 5 there really wasn't any point at all in playing the Career.

I probably would've gotten it anyway though, even if i pretty much suck at playing Guitar Hero compared to a lot of other players. (But i can play a real guitar so i don't feel bad about it =P

Take a look at Rock Band 3 and the Pro Guitar Controller then. It practically IS a real guitar. Real strings and frets with sensors that tell you your finger placement on-screen during play.

That seems to be a trend with a lot of real musicians. I have a friend that's a guitarist and can't fathom the functions of the guitar controller. Similarly, I used to be a drummer and have the damnedest time using the Drum Controller. If there were attachable sensors that you could fasten to real drums for game, I'd be all over it.

Megadeth! i love Megadeth, im a total Droogie. Any one else notice the picture on the second page was eddi with the power slave background?

 

[Benmonkey7]

Sweet! Megadeth is my favorite! Anyway, I love Megadeth, but I don't think that's enough to get me to buy the game. I just don't enjoy Guitar Hero and Rock Band games anymore. I just find them boring.

 

[Ildecia]

well. lets say hello again back to the feel and general playlist of guitar hero 2 and 3. i might get it. depends if i really want another guitar hero game laying around.

 

[bjj hero]

Needs more Iron Maiden. triple threat guitar solos...
