    Fun game, only two complaints: The guitar remote has to be close to the ps4, like REAL close. And that the best paid songs are behind a paywall.

    It's very good. Song selection is amazing. New guitar layout makes it more like playing real chords. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.

    the game plays fine, the controller is good, but I do wish there had been a way to get my library of old songs into this game.

    The game is visually very good and the music is very good. The guitars controls have changed and is hard to grasp whether to hit top or bottom buttons. It makes it more difficult for some who might that but detracts from the music and live crowd. The biggest complaint is the lag or lack there us of the usb stick picking up the guitar. It seems that around 8 ft away does not pick up very well or at all.

    Very good. Similar with PS4 on the sound quality, but several different new features. Guitar is more challenging. I liked it.

    It lost the Rock and Roll feelin. It's trying to appeal to every audience, I understand that, but it isn't the same guitar hero.

    The gameplay is decent and if this is your first foray into the music/band genre, it could be fun. It works well, but the change in the guitars and the fact that many places won't take this back as a return item, lead me to say Do Not Buy this, get the latest Rock Band instead. At least it has better support.

    Been a fan of the series since inception. This game had potential. Bought it to try it and first guitar had a button that would stick when pressed making it useless. Returned for another game, next guitar would not stay connected for more than 10 minutes. Makes me sad they would kill such an iconic game with such a terrible controller, especially for the price...

    A Major Disappointment

    This game had potential. The new button layout makes it tough to master... but there's no real game play or "story mode". It's really obnoxious. I hate not being able to openly create playlists without earning points to buy songs to play once. Overall this game is pretty much garbage. Save your money and go with Rock Band or skip this dated game altogether.
