The Same Old Song & Dance June 30, 2008
22 out of 23 found this review helpful

So I'm not the biggest Aerosmith fan in the world, and I'll go ahead and admit that. But I do like Guitar Hero, and I own an Aerosmith album or two, so I thought "nice, new songs!" and picked this one up. Powering through it in an evening, I came to some key realizations that I thought I might pass on in hopes of saving my fellow mock-rockers some coin.

1) The song selection is horrible.
When I thought "GH: Aerosmith", I was imagining "Crazy", "Cryin", "Janie...", "Hole in my Soul", "Angel", "Jaded", or "Don't Want to Miss a Thing" might be on it. All absent, as if they only secured the rights to the songs that were of little further monitary use to the band.

2) This is a Guitar Hero 3 abbreviation.
Oh sure, it's got new songs, and many of them (~25 of ~40) are Aerosmith. To it's credit, it does include two songs per stage from bands who have opened for Aerosmith, to break up the monotony. But there's not a time I remember saying to myself "oh, snap - this song will rock - I can't push start fast enough!" as often occurred in the series' previous iterations. The unlocked characters are the same as GH3 (plus some Aerosmith members), the guitars and outfits are largely the same (although your character gets replaced with Aerosmith during their songs anyway), and the uninspiring unlockable songs number in the single digits.
When the loading screen quotes aren't fun factoids about Aerosmith's Life and Times, they are the SAME AS GH3. I mean, really, that's just lazy.

At least when Rock Band decided to skimp on its content for the Wii, they value-priced the expansion discs.

Rent this one, beat it (violently, if possible), and turn it back in the next day.

"Dude Looks Like a" . . . DUD ! July 6, 2008
17 out of 20 found this review helpful

I was really looking forward to this. I am a moderate Aerosmith fan with at least 12-15 favorite songs that would really rock in this game. Unfortunately, only 3 made it. The songs that were chosen would be great if the GH player were as old as Aerosmith (that's right) well over 50-years-old. And guess what, my Dad doesn't want to play! So why weren't more songs from the last 15 years chosen? Yikes, I say!

I also started on HARD and got all the way through without any failures. And I'll be honest, I'm not the greatest player. GH3 on hard still gives me fits toward the end.

I'll say the replay value on this game is just about nil. I'll probably return to play a few (5-6) of the songs, but I'm about to give Rock Band for the Wii a try if this is all Activision is going to put out.

This one is a dud. I'd pass if I were you.

Guitar Hero III With Different Songs July 1, 2008
6 out of 9 found this review helpful

If you like Guitar Hero III and you like Aerosmith, you'll like Guitar Hero Aerosmith. The set list is O.K and includes 41 songs, but it would have been nice to see a few more. The onstage graphics are fun, and after playing through all the tracks I have a better feel for what Aerosmith sounds like. By the end of the set list I felt like I was part of the band. Overall, if you like Guitar Hero III and are looking for some more tracks to play, I'd say it is worthwhile. Now all I need is Guitar Hero Guns N' Roses. Rock On.

Good Enough For Now July 1, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

OK, so there are a few Aerosmith gems that are missing in the set list and the game generally is a repackaged GH3, but there are enough hits (and some cool b-sides that I didn't know before) that the game is fun. The songs don't seem to be as hard at the various difficulty levels, but the riffs are quite a bit different from anything on GH3. There are lot more hammer-ons and the bass/rhythm lines are a bit more fun than GH3. Since the game interface is essentially the same for both games, one thing that would be nice is if there was a way to easily switch between GH3 and GHA without having to change discs.

I can foresee GH releasing versions for other bands, but I'm not sure I'll spring for them; I'm going to wait for Nintendo to figure out how to do downloadable content.

Overall, for Wii'ers, this is a good GH 'fix'. Non-die hard Aerosmith fans with other platforms may want to rent and bask in the glory of picking which songs they want to pay extra for....and not have to switch discs.

Very disappointing July 2, 2008
6 out of 8 found this review helpful

I was excited to see that a GH3 Aerosmith was being released and picked mine up early. However, it didn't take long before extreme disappointment set in. The first complaint is that they did away with the Co-op Career mode. As my wife and I like to play a full career together, this was very disappointing. You can still play a co-op multiplayer but you need a career started to get the songs opened.
Next, instead of having to complete 3 of 4 songs (for easy and medium) and hopefully being excited about at least 2 of them, the Aerosmith one starts you off with playing two headliner bands, going into an encore with Aerosmith. Then, you play another Aerosmith song to get to another encore. So, essentially, you have absolutely no choice in the songs you play.
I agree with a few other posts about being disappointed in the Aerosmith song selection. I was hoping for more noticeable songs rather than trying to find the beat to a song I have never heard before.
Also, when you start with Easy or Medium levels, the first 6 to 8 songs are incredibly easy before they begin to get a bit more exciting. Be prepared for this.
Rent this one, get through it, and return it.
