No matter which tune you try, you'll have hours of fun emulating these famous rock legends. Can you measure up to a band that's sold more than 150 million albums worldwide?
Good Value - Game is okay If you beat GH3 and you are craving for new songs then you have 1 option: buy songs through the PS3 store (PS3 users) and expect to pay about $2 per song... until now. And, this is why this game has good value. First, you get about 40 songs (more or less) for one fixed price which is cheaper than paying about $2 per song. Second, no downloading, some people may not have the fastest connection. Third, second hand market value, you can sell the disk on Ebay after you are done playing and recover some of your money. Overall, to me this is an expansion pack and the game is okay. Don't expect nothing new or many innovations...
Not to nitpick... The product description credits the Black Crowes as the original performers of "Hard to Handle". Ack! That honor belongs to the late, great Otis Redding!!! Nothing against the Crowes, you understand.
As for the game, I agree that's it's a pretty good expansion pack, exorbitantly overpriced.
Aerosmith flavored Guitar Hero that doesn't offer too much Since Activision and Neversoft took control of the Guitar Hero franchise, we've been getting a steady stream of sequels and spin-off's, with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith being the latest game in the series. Featuring a pretty good collection of songs spanning Aerosmith's long career, you'll find that besides adding the Aerosmith-themed presentation, the game itself is basically identical to Guitar Hero III. This isn't really a bad thing, but considering this is a full-priced game, it would have been nice if there would have been a little more overall variations. The track list here is quite good though, with even some bonus tracks from Joe Perry's Joe Perry Project to find and play too, along with some bonus interviews with the band. Where the game falters however is that there isn't going to be any downloadable content, meaning that once you get through the game, there isn't much reason to go back to it. Getting through the game isn't that much of a challenge either if you're a Guitar Hero veteran, as the game proves to be not all that difficult compared to previous Guitar Hero games. It should also go without saying that if you aren't a fan of Aerosmith, this probably isn't for you. All in all, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is an enjoyable diversion that fans of the band will get a lot of enjoyment out of for a while, but in the end, the game doesn't offer enough bang for your buck.
Guitar Hero 3 Expansion Pack Guitar Hero expansion pack is what this game should of been called. (Not GHA) The song lists are not as good as they could of been. GH should of just sold all the songs on the downloads section of gh3. Another problem with the game is that the hammer on and pull offs are different than gh3. The only reason this game still got 3 stars is because its just an expansion pack to GH3.
Don't even rent it. It's not worth it. I rented Guitar Hero Aerosmith yesterday and beat it. It was rediculously boring because it was so easy. The songs are not very good at all and I'm not an Aerosmith hater or anything. I have this game for 5 days and after the first day I already had put the game I own, "Guitar Hero III" back in my system because it's replay value is amazing. I love guitar hero but this game is just plain terrible. The gameplay is the same of course but songs are just not challenging and I think you get my point. I am not even that good at Guitar Hero.
