2009 saw six Guitar Hero releases, none of them selling very well. Flooding the market with games rather than DLC led to oversaturation of the market and such a marked decrease in sales that Activision dissolved Red Octane and then took the franchise away from Neversoft, the developers of the...

Guitar Hero and I have a love/hate relationship. I love the fact they it brought me into the rhythm game genre, though I resisted heavily. I spent hours on Guitar Hero 2 and 3 – only to start to be annoyed by changed made in titles beyond that.

This one's a bit different, eh?  Music games in general, and Guitar Hero in particular, have been making a point of becoming more multiplayer friendly, and more appealing to casual players.

The new Guitar Hero has a great selection of songs for the people who love metal and rock. This is a more hardcore game than the two predecessors. The track selection allows for great gameplay with addictive songs and improved note charts, but people who do not love metal or hard rock will not find...
