Guitar Hero 5
About the Game
Guitar Hero 5 is the fifth main game in the musical rhythm series. Similar to the previous title, Guitar Hero: World Tour , the focus is on a band-experience, with a lead and bass guitar, drums and vocals. Next to a new soundtrack with 85 songs, many animated lead singers are now modelled after famous musicians such as Johnny Cash , Carlos Santana , Shirley Manson , Kurt Cobain , and Matthew Bellamy .
Gameplay & Core Systems
In the Band Lobby players can assemble a party of local and remore players to form a band, play the Career mode or opt for Quickplay. Most of the competitive multiplayer modes are carried over from former versions, along with two new ones: Party Play (random song selection with the option to join and leave at will using any instrument) and RockFest, a band mode for up to four (local) or up to eight (online) players with a variety of submodes. The songs are divided in smaller portions and for each section the players are rewarded based on a variety of conditions. General new features introduced to the gameplay include drop-in/drop-out play, where it is possible to join in the middle of a song or stop playing without interrupting gameplay.
Standout Features
- Guitar Hero: A portion of the songs of Guitar Hero: World Tour , Guitar Hero Smash Hits and Band Hero can be imported in exchange for a small fee per song.
- There is also a new Challenges section in the Career mode.
- Nintendo DS: It also supports interaction with the Nintendo DS to edit videos and provides access to the Roadie Battle mode, similar to the main battle mode of Guitar Hero III , where players complete mini-games on the Nintendo DS to sabotage the players on the console.
