Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
About the Game
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is considered an expansion of Guitar Hero III and it is the first title in the series primarily focused on a single band. The gameplay concept is similar to the game it is based on. About 60% of the included tracks are by Aerosmith, while the others have influenced or have opened for the band (Run-D.M.C., The Kings, Lenny Kravitz, ...). Four songs were re-recorded by the band directly for the game and they also performed as motion capture actors for their 3D models.
Story & Setting
The career has been divided into six tiers with five tracks, each based on a period in the band's history.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The prominent game segment is the career mode where players go through the band's history, from the earlier seventies to 2001. Players initially start as Joe Perry but can later also unlock the other band members Brad Whitford and Tom Hamilton.
Standout Features
- The menus have been redesigned and there are new venues, based on historical performances.
- There are 41 songs in total, of which 31 can be unlocked in the career mode and an additional 10 in the vault.
Modes & Ways to Play
Songs are unlocked gradually and become available in the other modes, identical to Guitar Hero III (Quickplay, Cooperative, Competitive + Battle modes). Only the cooperative career mode is absent.
Presentation & Atmosphere
Display support includes Progressive Scan (480p) and Widescreen (16 x 9). Audio support includes Dolby Pro Logic II.
