    It's new. I love the controller, but I can't say this enough. I hate the new streaming song, rent a song, whatever, no DLC, whatever this is. I'd prefer to be able to buy my songs and play them with friends as much as I want when I want. I don't wanna play random songs to get a song I actually wanna play. Whatever it's new. But it isn't for me. Returning the game today.

    This game has great graphics and game play. No multi-player on career mode; only in demo.

    it's not like the original GH. The songs were ok. I gave it a chance but will keep it. If your not picky maybe you might like it.

    The game makes you feel like a real-life rockstar, but the effects and intros last too long and make the game kind of annoying.

    It's Guitar Hero

    Despite a long hiatus, the newest Guitar Hero comes out pretty strong, featuring a huge list of tracks and a more intricate guitar controller. The caveat to this is that the offline mode has a total of about 40 songs and the list isn't particularly strong. If you have online access, though, you get all the DLC tracks available in a Pandora-esque rotation 24 hours a day. Lots of variety and fun to play.

    Problems Syncing

    It looks like its a great game, wouldn't know for sure though since the game is stuck on the start screen and I can't get the plug in stick and the guitar to sync to save my life. I've tried everything, no go. So I hope when I get to best buy I'll be able to return or exchange the bugger. Disappointed it worked out like this.
