Ok. here’s the deal.
As a GH or RB owner, you have to wait until the company releases new songs…

Guitar Wizard, on the other hand, will allow you to install ANY song for which you can find a MIDI file. ANY song. ANY group.

But of course, I’m biased, since I work for the company that is developing it. >:)

Damn this totally rocks! Without a doubt the GREATEST AMERICAN (American folks) ROCK BAND IS HONORED. This totally rocks and I just pre-ordered it. LONG LIVE AEROSMITH! The last Aerosmith Game that came out like 10 years ago Revolution X totally rocked, so while this is a music game it should still be pretty good. Aerosmith has always been at the forefront of technology when it comes to this shit.

In general I’m opposed to a rhythm game containing all tracks from only one artist. I like a little variety when I get these types of games. Also, Guitar Hero should take notes on Rock Band’s DLC structure.

God some of you people really like to moan, it makes me laugh! Why all the hate towards EA and Activision?! If you don’t want the game, DONT BUY IT! I for one am happy to get a FREE song this weekend, so quit the yapping and be grateful for once! *Rant over*

LOL….

At any rate as much as I love Aerosmith (and not just the stuff from the 70’s, as Pump was arguably their best album), I can’t see myself forking out $40-$60 for this.

i have a feeling this will only be sold at $39.99 as they did for “rockin the 80’s” ps2 version, and that is still a high price considering theres no way theyll have 40 aerosmith songs on there

Very nice,I’ll going to buy this at launch.But I’d die to have many Guns N’ Roses songs,not to forget Stones,Pink Floyd and Ac/Dc of course..

I can’t believe just how low Activision are stooping with the GH franchise. I loved GH1 & 2 but soon tired of GH3.. where’s the mother of all content that we were promised? and why is the DLC so pricey when compare with Rock Band.

Rock Band is a far far superior title, I’m so glad I imported it. With Activision doing an “EA” with the Guitar Hero franchise it’s beginning to look like the end of Guitar Hero for me.

On a side note however, it’s quite odd that this is the 2nd Aerosmith rhythm game (after ‘The Quest For Fame’, with its ‘virtual guitar’) and as far as I know, no other band has had an entire game devoted to their music…. and then there was that god-awful Revolution X game. Their music from the 70’s was pretty good… but THREE video games devoted to them? Tis a little excessive.

You know what would be nice….. if the next GH would let you rip the songs from GH2 & 3 to your hard drive… then we could have a great Ole Shindig.
B4 you jump on me,… yeah I know it’ll never happen, with DRM and the ability to rent or borrow and all that shit. But still, it would be nice. Who knows, maybe next gen will be different. Fingers & balls crossed.

like a great many comedians, when a rock band gets sober and stops abusing drugs their ‘art’ suffers.

Chevy Chase was only good when he was coked out of his mind on SNL.
The Toxic Twins were good when they too were coked out of their brains.

Yeah your right, but our games usually still cost $10 more.

more or less at par for the past couple months. Give or take a nickle.

I’ll have the free track, but they can keep the game…I’d much rather have it as DLC where I can choose the Aerosmith songs I like and leave the rest. But oh well.

By: MCycle07

MCycle07 — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 20:25:20 +0000

This is overkill on the Guitar Hero franchise. I’m so glad I have Rock Band instead so I can DL songs that I want and have plenty of them.

By: Veritas

Veritas — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 20:22:27 +0000

Now they do.

They were good in the beginning, before Steven Tyler’s voice got fucked up. See: “Dream On”

Also of note: this is basically Activision charging you $60 for DLC.

By: Veritas

Hey, now I can finally play like Joe Perry!

Oh, wait, I can already do that for free on a real guitar. Sorry, GH, I guess I won’t be buying into the gimmick. =[

By: Wet Vein

Wet Vein — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 19:32:41 +0000

The only way I’ll pay anything even close to full price is if the game comes with Liv Tyler minus her clothes.

I might be willing to pay $20 Canadian…. but that will never happen so I’ll be passing on this one. Now if it were The Beatles… Pink Floyd or The Stones I’d buy it faster than you can say Steven Tyler’s an ugly mother f*cker.

no chance I’ll buy this at $59.99

I wish this was DLC … I don’t need another freaking GH game … but this sounds awesome. What to do???? i wish there was a lot of Aerosmith on Rock Band … I wanna sing walk this way … or dude looks like a lady … Or Don’t wanna miss a thing … or (insert one of their numerous awesome songs here)

By: StGermain

StGermain — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 18:24:06 +0000

I like the idea but I don’t want to pay the full price for it… they have no real development costs here at all, the game-engine is there and the songs are there. I’d pay let’s say 25€ for it…

I’d also like to see a guitar here legends of country

How many freeking Guitar Hero games do they need? Leave 3 out for awhile and concentrate DLC. Activision is getting no more of my cash for the GH franchise. But seeing that I do own GH3 I’ll definitely take up the free offer for Dream On probably the best Aerosmith song IMO. Rock Band keeps pumping out good DLC and they keep getting my money. I think putting 3 GH games on in less than a year is not a very wise move on their part with Rock Band’s ton of DLC that will be released every week this year.

Guitar Hero IV is coming out in Fall

Pretty hot, but I wish they would make this an expansion pack (a la Tomb Raider Anniversary) for download on the XBLM. That would be way cooler than chalking up $50 (and you know it will be that much) at the store for another disc.

Where the Hell are ACDC tracks. Rock Band and GH need ACDC in their life!!!

By: Studley

Jesus god no. Terrible idea. Should’ve focused on DLC instead, the audience is screaming out for it and frankly are starting to get tired of waiting. This sort of diversion isn’t going to help.

Does this replace the previously-announced Guitar Hero IV, or is this as well as that? I assume it’s based on the GH3 engine, if they’re releasing it so soon?

By: Fetter

Fetter — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 16:50:11 +0000

I am going to go to the store and pre-order this today! I’d do it online but you have to pay the full price to pre-order online.
