Great Game But Limited Use For GH Vets,
By SnS ""Those are my principles and if you ... (Crossville, TN) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Guitar Hero Smash Hits (Video Game)
If you are like me and got in to the Guitar Hero franchise only recently, then this is a game you should definitely get. It gives you a chance to play some of the songs from the older games that you missed with the added bonus of being able to go at those with the whole band.
However, if you have played these songs before, there probably isn't enough to justify buying this. The only truly new features is the aforemented full band play on these songs and the expert+ feature on drums that allows for double-bass pedal playing. This is really cool to be sure, but hardly enough to justify paying for a whole new game with songs that you have experienced before. It does seem that the songs MAY have been amped up a little in difficulty and any game that includes "Play With Me" by Extreme as a song to play with is certainly not ALL bad. With all that being said, the song list is a little light on songs that I would consider to be truly "smash hits". If you are a vet of the franchise and are considering this I would wait for a price drop. If you jumped in a little before World Tour, I would likewise wait for the price drop. Otherwise, if your first step in was for World Tour, this would make an excellent addition to your library.......especially if you sprung for the entire set. In the end, the question you have to ask yourself is "How much do I love Guitar Hero?" Chances are, if you are reading reviews to help you decide, then you should hold off.

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Guitar Hero Smash Hits (Video Game)
...but the dearth of reviews should tell you all you need to know about online play.
The Good: - The song selection is pretty strong. I don't really know why someone would say there are only "3 or 4 good songs." I'll admit that my tastes aren't always geared to the actual songs on the game, but it's fun to play nonetheless. My only gripe is that the selection of songs from Guitar Hero 3 is way too large. GH:3 was a PS3 game, not a PS2 game. Using up five tracks for this seems like overkill and filler - I hate doubling my library of songs. - I like the new note charts. "TTFAF" expert becomes infinitely more playable on the GH:WT guitars due to the tap/slider feature in the intro (it was pretty tough to hit that first note with your elbow in GH:3). Some songs feel awkward, though; is there really any reason that "Take It Off" by The Donnas should rate so highly? The difficulty is incredibly artificial. - The trophies are fun, but really, really difficult (100% the mosh on "Raining Blood"? Come on now). The Bad - Aesthetically, this game is really, really tired. Little effort was put into sprucing up the graphics, and the characters are the same stock losers as always (OK - Lars Umlaut is pretty cool). There are no guests. - The online play is an utter joke. I guess this is what happens when an idiot company runs their franchise (and, probably, the entire genre) into the ground by releasing 100 games in a year. It's not like sales for this one have been off the charts, but again, that's no surprise (even Activision sees the writing on the wall - why else would they give away their next sales nightmare, "GH:VH"?). You'll be lucky if you find anyone online. Heck, even when I bought the game, there was no one online. So, all in all, if you're a fan, and you haven't played these songs, you'll like the game. It's not great, but it's still fun.
