All the new features and setlist are what make this game amazing.

I was really getting tired of RB/GH Releasing the same thing over and over again with new songs, almost no new features, and the same tired note charts. Guitar Hero 5 changes everything. Completely redesigned interface that makes you feel like you can NEVER press a wrong button. You can switch modes within modes, go directly online from within modes, and even pull up your friends list from a new in-game menu (on PlayStation Network) and send network invites. The only thing I hate about this is, they took away the XMB friends list (it'd be equal to pulling up the Xbox Live invite list) for their own friends screen which doesn't sort by whether your friend is on/offline and whether they are playing Guitar Hero 5 or not. It's kind of crappy. However, it does let you see their Rocker Card for friends who've played the game.

That's probably the only complaint I have about the game. Everything else is prestine and adds a new funky freshness to the genre. Rock Band 3 is already trying to copy the new and improved music studio adding in their own thing. You can know use RB2 cymbals in GH5, which used to cause an error on previous games. You can import GHWT, GHSH, GHVH, and BH into Guitar Hero 5 and all your GHWT DLC except for Jimi Hendrix.

Updated note charts for RB drum players, too. You now use green for a cymbal and yellow isn't only for hi-hat anymore and velocity sensitivity has been added in for RB2 drums, also.

Guitar hero is finally back! This game has taken me to back in the day when Guitar hero was king. Before it lost out to rock band. The game play is right back on par and and I've really enjoyed the new features added to this version including the ability to slide and hammer on notes. Much more realistic to actual guitar playing.

Pros:
*Music: Some great old school classics (including Phish,Santana, and Bon Jovi) mixed with current pop hits, great for all ages.

Cons:
The only slightly negative thing I would have to say is that they haven't brought down the price of the downloadable content yet. They should group more of them together for less money. Because I don't want to pay $20 for 10 new songs.

Ps3 Online Multi-player makes it difficult to find people on the network.

Overall a good buy and a great addition to the guitar hero family.

Some people may tell you that the setlist is poor compared to the first three Guitar Hero Games, but the DLC's, the party play mode and the ability to play with up to four guitar controllers (or multiple microphones, or any combination of instruments you like) more than make up for it.

In summary, this is a great game. It really shines in single-player and local multi-player modes. I purchased this over the Christmas 2009 holiday on an Amazon lightning deal. Amazing deal from Amazon.

Pros:

* Great single-player experience
- It was important to me that the game have a solid single-player campaign because I play it mostly by myself.

* Great local multi-player experience
- Have had friends over many times already, and we've had a blast with it. I bought 3 more guitars -- 2 of the Les Paul type from GH3, which are a steal right now, 1 from GH World Tour, and the 1 controller that came with this bundle. Most people are best at playing guitar anyway, so we play multi-player with guitar and bass only.

* Party mode
- This mode allows your friends to jump in and drop out of a song without stopping the song for the other players. If you're new to these games, it sounds minor but it's actually a very helpful feature, especially when playing 4-player local multi-player and your friend's girlfriend needs to switch from medium to easy which _would normally_ pause the whole game and ruins your note streak :) Just sayin'...

* Pretty good setlist
- I will give the creators credit: the songs they chose are good guitar songs and they really ramp up the difficulty gradually. However, if you're looking for a game full of current and recent radio hits, I would recommend Band Hero, which I also bought from Amazon, once I enjoyed this game so much.

Cons:

* Online multi-player makes it hard to find people, at least on PS3
- The matchmaking hardly works at all. I've probably tried 10 times to setup an online match and found success only twice. Me and my friends just sit there waiting for people to join the match. For this reason, you may want to consider having friends over to play this.

my daughter loves it,and beat it in one day and plays it over and over again , glad to make her happy

I bought this game for my wife for Xmas, and now she can't stop playing it. It is a great game for us to play together. Simultaneously, it has gotten my wife into using the new PS3 we bought. The graphics are pretty good, but they don't really need to be stellar for this type of game play. The play is pleasantly challenging, but not too hard. All in all its a great buy, especially for the price!

This is a famous game, so I bought it, but it was some a kind of dissapointing. There is several songs but just 2 - 3 well known. It is pretty hard to play at the beggining and after a few days, the game did not to catch me. So, this is a good game, but not the eight wonder.

Hello let me start off by saying i love amazon but when i saw this GH5 bundle for the
playstation three i was amazed at the price i could not belive that they were selling
such a highly expensive bundle for 47 dollars anyway when i got the package in the mail i was even more excite it was so worth it as this bundle can go for upwards to a
a 100 dollars or more

Got this for my sister and her boyfriend and they love it! Great price and extrememly fast shipping, thanks!

I bought t to my husband as a father's day gift. And he loved it!!! Our teenagers nephews and his teen bro's always come over to play it! The friends as well. It was a very good purchase since we have lots of fun with games and the boys coming over. Besides my husband was so very happy when he saw it for the very first time(boys like toys, lol)he was excited even about amazon's gift wrap.
