 Basically a massive Track Pack (and that's a good thing) |

| The fact that there's no real story to this game, and that all songs are unlocked from the beginning, basically makes this a massive track pack for GH-World Tour.
So, what do you get from this game? - 80+ songs - Ability to have multiple people playing vocals, guitars, bass, and/or drums (which is a first). In effect, you get the best of Karaoke Revolution and GH-World Tour. - If you order before October 1, 2009, the free GH-Van Halen (via mail-in/internet offer, no shipping fees, so only thing you pay is that one first class postage for the form, sticker, and receipt that you have to send in), good for another 40+ songs. What don't you get? - Rock Band's great format of playing different venues in different cities around the world, with a better character design feature (but that's a bit subjective!!!) So, if you consider this to be mostly a big track pack, and especially if you get to take advantage of the free GH-Van Halen offer, this is a great deal. Now, with regard to the gameplay and the changes from previous versions of GH, the big plus for me is the immediate availability of all songs. I play GH mostly as a party game, so having all the songs from the outset is great. Also having the option to have multiple vocals and multiple guitars and bass is great (I have over 4 mics and over 4 guitar controllers from all the other GH and RB games I've bought over the years), because this means people get to play what they WANT to play, not what positions are left over. A shame we don't have multiple drum sets (we have one GH-WT and one RB drum set each), but that's okay, since that's the least favorite instrument, as well as the most tiring, so people tend to trade off the use of that instrument. So, with all this, what would have made this a 5 star product in my opinion? Better characters and better modification of characters. For one thing, the characters all look white, all the girls are skinny. If you're not white, and you don't fit those modes, you can't change accordingly. If they had an easier medium difficulty (but using 4 frets) for the guitar/bass, that would be nice. Overall, I strongly recommend this item, especially if you can take advantage of the free GH-Van Halen offer. In terms of fun, I'd give this 4 stars. In terms of value, definitely 5 stars. |

| This is the best one in the series yet. A lot of complaints again about the instruments. I just ordered the game because I already have all the instruments i need. I never had any problems with the drums or guitars (other than I wish they made a left handed guitar so the buttons and whammy bar were flipped). The party mode is great. No need to unlock songs. No failing. Just fun. Also no more earning money to get things which is nice. When playing career mode you have different individual challenges for each song: get so many points, or a note string so long, or keep you multiplier at +4 for so long, or hit sustains or chords, or even hit so many notes only strumming up or alternating. There are also group goals such as get so many points or have an avg. multiplier. These all add an extra challenge to playing the songs. The ability to play with any combination of instruments is a good idea. On top of all these improvements the graphics (which to me are not important) are greatly improved. It is good to see that they are not just cranking out games but are still improving on this genre and I look forward to even more improvements with others. |
| Fun, as the rest of the series has been. |

| While I was a bit disappointed with the specific music selection, the game is overall quite enjoyable. I love the addition of a sixth star for perfect completion of a song, as well as the individual challenges. Most of all, I was happily surprised by the ability to import many of the other songs from my GH:WT set, both on-disc and downloadable content. |
