Its been a very long time since I have posted a new post but I am trying to make a comeback. Its been a long and stressful end of the school year and school for me is over. But my gaming must continue and I have been very busy. Now this review is different from any other review. This is a three game review. The games are Guitar Hero: World Tour, Guitar Hero: Metallica and Guitar Hero: Smash Hits. First off, Guitar Hero: World Tour. I have always been more a rockband kind of guy myself. But when I found out that I can use my Rockband drums on Guitar Hero my world has changed. I have played all three of these games in the matter of two weeks beating most of them and enjoying every second. Guitar Hero: World Tour is very similar to Rockband with the same whole idea of rocking out with your buds or by yourself. But this game featured the create a song mode which I think was very tacky but for those hardcore gamer modifiers there will possibly be some good free songs for us to download. But the whole rocking out feature was very good. The videos and cutscenes just feels better than Rockband. Also the guest appearances were pretty cool. Billy Corgan, Angela Williams, Ted Nugent, Sting, Travis Barker, and Ozzy Osbourne! Thats just awesome! So my final score for Guitar Hero World Tour is 3.5X points out of 5.
Next game would be the Guitar Hero: Metallica game. I am pretty much a die hard Metallica fan so this game kind of caught my eye as being extremely enjoyable. But the game was missing some real classic Metallica songs. Only one song from the new CD also. But the game was very challenging since they are all Metallica songs which are ridiculously long songs that would gone for minutes and minutes at a time. I'm pretty sure there were no Metallica songs less than 5 minutes. But the guest songs were okay, songs like Ace of Spades and Stone Cold Crazy were fun to play. But not many good songs. But for me this game was great and I might have not received the double bass pedal with pre-order but that probably made the game even better. Guitar Hero: Metallica gets 4X points out of 5.
Last game is Guitar Hero: Smash Hits. This game had a lot of great songs to play. I mean its called Smash Hits. But it was very repetitive like the last Guitar Heroes. Same old songs and dance. Which I guess we are going to have to get used to. But they did feature some songs to play double bass pedal on other than Metallica songs from the last game. But its wasn't that bad of a story I guess for having a little one and it was fun playing songs that were from the old games turned into songs for the whole band. So for my final score Guitar Hero: Smash Hits gets 2.5X points out of 5.
