2.0 out of 5 stars Compilation of songs from previous GH games, August 27, 2009

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Guitar Hero Smash Hits (Video Game)

If you own a Wii and a PS2 and have accumulated pretty much all the other GH games that have been on the market don't waste your time buying this one. It is pretty much a compilation of all the songs on those games into one. The difference is that this game you can play the full-band on the songs that you can not before. If you have purchased Guitar Hero Metallica or have two foot drum pedals then you have it made for using the dual bass pedal function on the drums.

None of the songs have to be unlocked in Quickplay and some of the songs have been remastered. Since there is no compatibility downloadable content, this game is good for is the songs in the package.

Here is a breakdown of the songs and which gaming systems they came from.

Guitar Hero: Guitar Hero World Tour Band Kit - Wii
Bark At The Moon, Cowboys From Hell, Godzilla, Hey You, I Love Rock N' Roll, Killer Queen, More Than A Feeling, No One Knows, Smoke On The Water, Stellar, Take It Off, Take Me Out, Thunder Kiss 65, Unsung

3.0 out of 5 stars Highly anticipated but fails with average song list, July 16, 2009

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Guitar Hero Smash Hits (Video Game)

Guitar hero world tour was a fantastic concept which incorporated the drums, microphone, guitar and bass together to make team play absolutely incredible. We enjoyed the initial song list and game play well enough but suffered through some songs just to move on in game play. I will have to echo the sentiment of some of the other reviewers by saying the song content could be better. I can not tell you how many times I would hear a song on the radio and would state how it would be nice to have that song on GHWT.
I eagerly anticipated the Smash Hits collection because we were burned out on the songs from GHWT. The list of songs on Smash Hits was supposed to be compiled from the best of the Guitar hero series and this is where Smash Hits fails. I am already tired of the song list and have moved back to the original.
To sum it up "Release some good music for this game platform or it will die" Or make the songs for the Wii compatible with the rock band songs and I would play them. Either way get a better song list for the Guitar Hero World Tour Band system.

This may be Guitar Hero, but in our house it's 'Band Hero'!! I bought this because I loved the song list and found out after I received it that it works with the whole band, bonus! Great game and challenging too! I don't know if this is normal, but it took us a few tries to figure out how to get the whole band logged in and make it start. I finally had to press and hold the + button to get it to go.
