Difficulty:

Just Right

Time Spent:

20 to 40 Hours

The Bottom Line:

"Almost, but not quite"

The good:artistic and funny cartoon cutscenes. Cool looking guitar,drums.bass,and microphones(monster drum kit anybody?).
a great list of old hits now in full band!

The bad:Crashes alot. Dated models.no music studio.

Before guitar hero was a game with fullband support. It was just guitar and bass. Now they put all the smash hits songs from GH,GH2,GH3,GH 80,s,and GHA into one game with full band.(isnt that great!) Now lets get to the bad stuff. The ps2 version likes to crash. Crash as in the game just stops. When i finished creating a guitar.CRASH!When i was doing some thing with my guys face.CRASH! During Killing in the name by rage agianst the machines.CRASH! Its frustrating, and do you really want to get up to restart over and over again? The character models look dated. And the back grounds are yet again pre-renderd. Again it looks weird with great xbox360 back grounds with dated PS2 models . Now the good things. The animated cutscenes are drawn well, and all of them are funny.The instruments are cool (monster drum kit anybody?) . The old songs are now fullband. How sweet is that? A few songs are Heart shaped box by Nirvana,Monkey wrench by Foo fighters,Through the fire and flames by dragon force and more.
Now this game can be fun. Any one could enjoy the PS2 version if they can forgive one major problem. Crashing issues!
