3.0 out of 5 stars Game good but a little glitchy...., September 15, 2009

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Guitar Hero 5 Stand Alone Software (Video Game)
Let me start by saying im a huge guitar hero fan so im going somewhat easy on this review... The songs are good but What bothers me the most is the load time. takes forever to load between songs. The graphics are horrible and i have only had this for a week and it has froze up on me 3 times!!!!! Very glitchy... Only get it if your a huge fan of guitar hero and have no other systems to play it on ..i would recommend the 360 or ps3 not the ps2, like i said only if you have no other systems.. Although the van halen offer is cool but i have not yet to see my copy and there seems to be alot of stuff to go through to actually get a free copy....

4.0 out of 5 stars Love the songs, don't love the load time, December 1, 2009
By 
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Guitar Hero 5 Stand Alone Software (Video Game)
Huge guitar hero fan here, so this maaay be biased.

Yes, the load time between songs does take a while. That's the only thing that bugs me, but I've figured out my own little way of not caring about that anymore. I distract myself by checking little things on the internet, or play another game on my computer while waiting for GH to load. It doesn't take forever though, maybe 2 minutes max load time between songs.

What I do love though are the song choices this time. There are some songs that I really love to play again and again. This time they seem to have picked songs that are way more fun to sing as well. I know a lot more songs for a change and actually like most of them :) I've never popped in a brand new guitar hero and knew right away which songs I wanted to play.

Favorites:
Sublime - "What I Got" (honestly couldn't wait for them to use this song. Love playing/singing it)
Stevie Wonder - "Superstition"
Rolling Stones - "Sympathy for the Devil"
Garbage - "Only Happy When It Rains"
3 Doors Down - "Kryptonite"
A Perfect Circle - "Judith"
Billy Squier - "Lonely is the Night"
Blur - "Song 2"
Bob Dylan - "All Along the Watchtower"
Bon Jovi - "You Give Love A Bad Name"
David Bowie - "Fame"
Deep Purple - "Woman From Tokyo ('99 Remix)"
Duran Duran - "Hungry Like The Wolf"
Gorillaz - "Feel Good Inc."
John Mellencamp - "Hurts So Good"
Johnny Cash - "Ring of Fire"
Queen & David Bowie - "Under Pressure"
The Police - "So Lonely"
The White Stripes - "Blue Orchid"


So overall, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked the newest Guitar Hero :)

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Guitar Hero 5 Stand Alone Software (Video Game)
The game is fun
but I bought the game used, and it was scratched, and it takes FOREVER too load, and it just doesn't work properly, so I've only played it once.... I actually would rather have my money back than the game.
