So, just in case you have lived in a cave for the last 5 or 6 years, a quick recap of what Guitar Hero is all about! You have either a guitar controller, drum controller or a microphone and you must strum, drum or sing in time to the music. Simples.I...
93 tracks, if you like rock you will like most of them. Gene Simmons!...
Quest mode is a bit strange! Songs may not be for everyone.

Warriors of Rock may be a defibrillator for Activision's cash-cow, but is it too little, too late?...
The rock focus, narration and Quest mode are a welcome inclusion. The new controller is robust, and there's hours of gameplay for completion junkies.
It's not really the developers fault, but the genre is tired. New Guitar Hero releases simply can't capture the magic of the original titles.

Shortly before E3, Neversoft told us that as the market for its music games has shrunk, it has become more hardcore, with the last few iterations of Guitar Hero mostly being played on Hard and Expert difficulty. For this reason, the plan was to go back...

Warriors of Rock is the latest and last addition to the Guitar Hero library. They've had a long run. The first Guitar Hero came out in 2005, shocking gamers and their friends by putting the power of a Rock Star in their hands. The license has changed h...

Strumming along at around 120 beats per minute, my fingers race across the fretboard. Fatigue has long begun settling in. The music genre began to feel old a year back already, but even then I loved playing a great song. Nothing has changed, as I push...

Yup, it’s Guitar Hero. Expect no revolutions or revelations. Much like the regular doses of Madden, Dance Dance Revolution, or even Halo, each iteration of the vaunted music series comes preloaded with anticipations and routines. We’ll strum away to o...

If there is one trend that has stood out over all the rest in gaming for the past few years it would almost certainly be the increasing popularity of rhythm games, a group of titles led by Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Playing air guitar has long been a...

A few months ago I was at a party thrown by a friend who has a monumental game collection. He also takes pride in keeping everything working and hooked up; if you can see it, you can play it. That night we played the original two Guitar Hero titles o...

Guitar Hero's been having a rough couple of years with multiple hurried releases that come off as pricey songlist expansions that don't innovate much. This time, Neversoft and Activision opted for a single release that aims to put vocalists, guitarists...

Why did we play the original Guitar Hero? Because it was fun, just challenging enough, and it had a solid song list. Getting better never felt like a chore, but rather an enjoyable and accessible experience. Newbies could jump in and have a great time...

It's a scary world for music games in 2010. Last year, publishers went for broke with release after release - Activision in particular pushed out Guitar Hero: Metallica, Guitar Hero 5, Guitar Hero: Smash Hits, Band Hero, and Guitar Hero: Van Halen - an...
Ultimately, that last point summarizes the most damning thing about Warriors of Rock - a lack of any compelling reason to exist. Neversoft placed the lion’s share of their eggs in the Quest mode’s metal themed basket, and it buckles under the pressure...

Getting the band back together.I know it sounds crazy but I am now reviewing the sixth (numbered) Guitar Hero game. It is amazing that the series has run as long as it has, and even with the criticisms surrounding it within the community, it still mana...
