    I seem to remember GH being better than it was. It's still a good game and the guitar is new and different, but still feels cheap. I can't get the mic that Best Buy gave me to work, most likely user error but why doesn't it just plug in and work? The game is a different outlay than previous GH games, it's an interesting difference and the multiple "notes" definitely adds more challenge to the game. Songs are a good mix, haven't had to look to see if they sell new tunes but in the past this has always been an option.

    Since my son switched over to an Xbox 360 a few years back, we haven't played a lot of Guitar Hero - since the Wii has fallen out of favor. When I saw that one of his favorite games was returning for his new platform, I leaped at that chance to return to the glory days of "Fiendish Pants" our house band. The song selection needs a little work, but that will come in time. The new controller is a challenge, but that too will be mastered. Welcome back, guitar heroes. It's been far too long.

    My daughter is 12 and was so excited to receive Guitar Hero. It was a gift and she loves it. Easy to use and she set it all up herself.

    This is just another great product in the guitar hero series. They added some newer more realistic features to the guitar this time.

    Overall, I'm quite pleased with the new GH. I used to be a big fan of GH for PS2 and actually bought an XBox360 to play this new version. The two rows of buttons are a difficult transition but really cool. I wish there were more sets in the storymode portion of the game but I do like the live channels and the ability to pick from a larger (ever-changing) song list

    I like the new format. Not only is it challenging, but the background feels alive, a stark contrast to the previous games. But the strum bar doesn't work properly when strumming down... fine when strumming up though. Be aware though that this is an issue with a lot of copies of the game.

    The game follows the older Guitar Hero games but with a twist. The new button layout is something to get used to and has a learning curve. but over all the game is decent but I like Rock Band better this go around.

    Overall, the new game is pretty fun. We especially enjoy the live footage in the "story mode" and the new online portion is fun as well. My only complaint is that the build quality of the guitar does not seem to hold up very well. Pieces seem to already be sticking - which causes issues when trying to play!
