Video Games : Guitar Hero: Aerosmith - Solus (Wii)

Rating: - Does what it says
It does exactly what it says on the tin, its guitar hero aerosmith!

There are some notable songs missing - Crazy, Dude looks like a Lady and (i will whisper) Dont wanna miss a thing! However, in all honesty I dont know how much fun these songs would have been to play anyway, they are good songs to sing, but maybe not so much play on guitar.

I would say that some of the songs are repetitive, but that is to be expected playing a game that is mostly made up of one band's hits. There is a mixture of some other artists ... . The Clash, The Kinks and Cheap Trick (about 12 non aerosmith songs).

Overall, I will echo what other reviews have said.....if you like Guitar Hero and Aerosmith, then go for it!

Rating: - omg, what a disappointment!
i bought this being an avid aerosmith fan, and boy was i in for a disappointment! i bought it thinking yeah, i would easily get to the aerosmith songs i at least knew and liked quite quickly, but no, you have to go through a long way to get there, and omg, i still yet have not come across a song i actually know - am now going to sell it, due to game being rubbish1!!!!!!!

Rating: - A neat little filler before World Tour.
Yes, it's Aerosmith. That alone nearly dissuaded me from buying it but they're a guilty pleasure and when you nail the solo from Run DMC's version of Walk This Way, it still gives that all-important buzz (it did for me at least!).

The tracklisting split between the title band and the rest is about 70/30. Along with Aerosmith you get songs from The Clash (hurrah!), Lenny Kravitz (*shiver*) and Stone Temple Pilots (aw yeah...). It's a reasonable selection but unless you're a riffaholic, I'd suggest waiting for Guitar Hero: World Tour, which is released in October/November. And that game has The Eagles and Sublime to look forward to as well as the whole band thang a la, erm...Rock Band.

So, there you are. If you're still angry about no downloadable content for Guitar Hero 3 and just can't take it any longer, this should tide you over. Just look around for a good deal because this is not worth the full asking price.

And one more thing. Where on earth is Dude (Looks Like A Lady)?!

Rating: - Just a filler inbetween gh3 and gh world tour
This game is just to fill in the small gap inbetween gh3 and gh world tour and it would be worth just waitning until guitar hero world tour comes out to get a new guitar hero. The graphics aren't very good either and you really do have to be a big aerosmith fan to be able to play their songs.

Rating: - Disappointing!
As a fan of both Guitar Hero 3 (GH3) and Aerosmith I was looking forward to the release of this game with some excitement.

Fans of GH3 won't be surprised by the look and feel of the game; as you might expect it's little more than GH3 with different songs and tweaked graphics.

The first surprise came when I started working through the Easy career mode. It feels like they've taken Easy from GH3 and dumbed it down, making it even easier. Less notes, feels slower, less interesting to play. It seems far easier to score 100% on songs.

The second was when I realised how few songs the game contained - approximately 30 fewer than GH3. With such a large catalogue of material to draw from it's a shame that there are so few songs in the game.

After having played GH3 and eagerly anticipated this follow-up my overall feeling is disappointment. This game could have been an amazing Aerosmith-fest, packed full of great songs.

With no downloadable content on the Wii there's no way that this deficit can be reduced.

GH3 is a 5-star game. Guitar Hero Arosmith is not.
