3.0 out of 5 stars No warranty for guitar if it doesn't work, March 2, 2009

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Guitar Hero Aerosmith Wireless Bundle (Video Game)

Buyer beware on guitar hero products. Even though the product is supposed to have a 60 day warranty the company is not providing any warranty support. I purchased this product and the guitar doesn't work (no surprise as I see this on a lot of reviews). When I attempted to contact support at Activision they say they only support Guitar Hero World Tour warranty and direct you to RedOctane for support (310-255-2050). RedOctane only has a recorded message telling you that they won't provide warranty on guitars that do not work and you need to contact Activision at 800-229-6306 or 800-205-4713. Activision doesn't provide support for the guitar and tells you to contact RedOctane. I managed to get a LiveChat going with RedOctane at their website but as soon as I told them my guitar didn't work they disconnected the chat and didn't answer my question. I would not purchase any old Guitar Hero products as there is no warranty support and the guitars are known to have lots of problems. The game itself is no where near as good as Rock Band and that equipment is better quality.

4.0 out of 5 stars Leaves you wanting more, June 30, 2008

Chris B. - See all my reviews

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Guitar Hero Aerosmith Wireless Bundle (Video Game)

Having religiously played all previous GH games, this game was an absolute must have being a big Aerosmith fan. I already completed the game on expert, so here is a brief review:

- Difficulty to actually beat a song is quite a bit easier than GH3. However, it seems that achieving 5 stars is much more difficult this time around. You need to play a song near perfect in order to snag 5 stars.

- Song list is great, but they left out some of my favorites (Cryin', Jaded, Dude Looks Like a Lady, Janie's Got a Gun). I really hope these are offered as downloads in the near future. Other songs I love (Don't Want to Miss a Thing) didn't make it, but this makes sense since I don't think they would translate good into this type of game.

- Timing to hit the notes seems to be less forgiving. You really need to nail the notes spot on, whereas the previous GH games seemed to be more forgiving. Hammer-ons and pull-offs do feel about the same as GH3, though.

Overall this was no disappointment and will prove to entertain for many more hours. Looking forward to seeing what type of downloadable content becomes available!

Disclaimers:
1. I love both Guitar Hero and Rock Band (so I'm not going to try to trash either game series).
2. I'm not great playing any of the guitar games, and can barely survive the last songs on Medium difficulty.

Since this review is for the bundle, I'll first concentrate on the bundle, then focus on the game later, which I'm sure you'll see lots of reviews for at Guitar Hero Aerosmith. In fact, I'll probably write a review myself there, concentrating on the game.

As a great fan of the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series, getting GH-Aerosmith was a given. The question for me was the following:
Get the game, or get the bundle? Get it for the PS2, PS3, or Wii? (I only have an Xbox, not a 360, so at least that that option wasn't considered by me). With 6 possible choices, I had to go look at all the different versions. Here's my synopsis:

PS3 (and Xbox 360) bundle comes with the nifty Aerosmith faceplate and stickers and booklet.
PS2 only comes with the stickers and booklet.
Wii bundle comes with the nifty Aerosmith faceplate and stickers and booklet, and the Wii remote acts as an extra speaker for special Wii-only effects (not sure if it also vibrates on cue).

Hmm, so based on the bundle, for me, the Wii has an advantage in terms of abilities. However, I don't think I like taking my Wiimote out of its sleeve and sticking it in the controller. Therefore, it's about a tie between the PS3 and Wii versions, and the PS2 version is inferior, since you don't get the better guitar and it doesn't have the extra faceplate.

Now, the game itself.
PS3 and Xbox 360: You can buy and download extra tracks (not sure if they'll ever release any, but they have the potential).
PS2: Not available.
Wii: Oops, forgot to check out if that option's available!
Graphics are also better on the PS3 and Xbox 360 version, of course. And since there are full video clips of Aerosmith members interview style, seeing it on the better graphics machines are nice.

I considered getting a new guitar, since I have 3 PS2 GH guitars and 2 PS3 RB guitars, as well as the games GH, GH2, GH2-greatest hits, and GH3 on PS2, and RB on PS3. I did try using the PS3 RB guitar, just HOPING it may be compatible with GH-A, and I can confirm that it is NOT compatible. In fact, the guitar that comes with this bundle is identical to the one from the GH3 bundles, the Les Paul wireless guitar (which is a good thing).

Overall, definitely recommended. As a bundle, it's definitely worth it, especially if you need or want an extra guitar (and I did).
