Activision Announces Four New ''Hero'' Games

215
Alan Pettit

You know, when the whole music-as-a-video-game thing hit the scene, it was pretty awesome. Even people who were terrible as real musicians had the chance to feel like they could shred the guitar, and later beat the skins or "slappa da bayass" (I hope everyone has seen I Love You, Man to get that joke).

Now though... give me a break. However, Activision can look at its sales sheet and say to themselves, "the public is still buying, so we're still funding." And then they all sip some fruity drinks on a beach I imagine. Why didn't I think of this?!

Aaaanywho, Activision has officially announced four new "Hero" branded games coming later this year. Most of them were already rumored and all but official, (some even had screenshots) but you can expect Band Hero, DJ Hero, Guitar Hero 5 and Guitar Hero: Van Halen all before the year is out. And below you can see a promo shot of the official DJ Hero "controller."

  • Whoa
  • Omg are you shitting me?
  • I meant to say, whoa, cool turntable, definitely gonna check it out
  • Sounds good. DJ Hero should be fun.
  • ahhahahahahah dj hero so laughing gerde la peche c tro de la merde
  • Still waiting for Violin Hero...
  • interesting concept to take it in a new direction with the DJ hero, but more of the same band and singular stuff, no thanks.
  • GH van halen should be hard as hell from what ive seen from hot for teacher
  • what no "polka hero?'
  • i want Flute Hero! How about... Triangle Hero? Piano Hero? Cowbell Hero? When will they stop?
  • remember Apline Legends?
  • alpine legends FTW
  • wow...thats really all that needs to be said.
  • Fuck you Activision stop making Guitar Hero games
  • GAY
  • GH sucks already. Theres gonna like over 10 different ones, its 2 much, still yet to hear of any export feature.Theres a lot of tracks i wanna get for GHWT but whose to say they will work on any new ones. ROCK BAND is best, keep it simple. As for GH smash hits, 48 tracks is terrible, RB2 had 84 tracks. Yes RB is doing beatles and lego but hopefully those will be exportable as well.
  • Band Hero? Isn't that essentially GH:World Tour? (Sigh)
  • Too... many... games.
  • yeah, it seems exploiting a game that had its success does make a company go somewhere, but some of those titles are ridiculous... I mean, DJ Hero? come on!!
  • Go die. This is worse than American pie series now. They need to stop for their own good.
  • @10- "cowbell hero" ROFL "I need more cowbell!"- Christopher Walken, SNL skit.
  • WHAT THE FUCK! Activision needs to AN HERO!
  • Funny how people always mention microsoft for milking games, but never bring up activision.
  • Wow activision I mean come on make something else too many stupid guitar games. Really how many stupid band games like aerosmith can you have?
  • DJ Shadow is involved in 'DJ Hero' ... After I've read that on solesides.com it became an musthave-title. @ #10: Cowbell Hero - I would buy it if there is an Avatar that looks like Christopher Walken *laughs*
  • May rent GH5 and Band Hero but the others don't appeal to me.
  • I thought they'd go for a five keyed piano next..
  • I want Spoon Hero! Nothing like jammin out to some folk music with a rockin set of spoons!!!
  • they can suck a big one, they need to do what Rock Band did, only make a new game to get some bugs out and improve it, then just release DLC. Activision is teh money hungryz!!!
  • Skin Flute Hero is still the best one.
  • It's funny, my friends and I sometimes joke that Rap Hero would come with a microphone for the "rapper", a turntable for the DJ, and two guns for the entourage. Still, while I applaud Activision for being somewhat innovative, I think this might be overkill. The Van Halen game is the only one I would ever think of buying . . . if I ever intended to buy a Guitar Hero game.
  • I'm already burnt out with these music games. They seriously need to take it easy though, if they continue to whore these games out, the genre is going to die.
  • DJ Hero sounds interesting. Otherwise pass.
  • I invented a game called "Skin Flute Hero". I am the master.
  • Stick with Beatmania but damn that game kick my ass.
  • Yes I do think they are milking the gh name but, for me I want more games, so I'm happy these are coming except for dj hero not really into that, I'm hoping to see something amazing with band hero or guitar hero 5, and for eveyone talking about rockband soon they be milking just like gh, I mean beatles, lego and now one for the damn psp WTH?
  • #31 FTW. I'm waiting for Beatbox Hero. Maybe they can come up with a Hero game based on DC Go-Go music, too. LOL.
  • This is getting waaaay out of control, but I will forgive them if they make "Banjo Hero" or "Ukulele Hero"! But yeah, they should stop before they ruin the music game genre. And the single band games? They have made Metallica and Aerosmith and anounsed Van Halen, and I've heard Jimi Hendrix rumors but there's a hell of allot of good bands in the world so this may never end...
  • I would imagine with Band Hero you get to act like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, inluding begging for coppers (in this case, cheevos) after every performance...
  • Yes they should stop the GUITAR hero games and leave it to Rock band. But DJ Hero looks interesting, may have some crap and annoying songs though but il get it. I could only guess a Keyboard Hero next although theyl have to add notes or something but DJ Hero is something new and different and looks interesting so give em a break
  • Needs more vagina hero.
  • They know how to make easy money. Easy as hell to make the games, charge loads of money, then swim in a Scrooge McDuck style vault of gold.
  • DJ Hero? gay. Van Halen, not so gay.
  • But April 1st was over a month ago....
  • Activision.... whores, dirty filthy whores. Milking the cash cow. They apprehended the "Guitar Hero" title from Harmonix, and now they're milking it for all its worth. I refuse to purchase anymore "Hero" games, and I am considering boycotting Activision altogether. Harmonix has a better product, and the platform model works much better. I will be sticking with Harmonix products only from now on. Thanks for firming that up for me Activision. .... fraking whores.
  • DJ hero, to me it sounds like there running out of ideas
  • DJ Hero could turn out good. Who knows. Still, though, the fact that Activision will release totally 6 new games (inc. GH: Met & GH:SH) in Europe confuses me. Now I understand why it's said that American game developers' main concern is to get as much money as possible instead of making new innovations, in this game it is true at least.
  • DJ Hero sounds fucking ass.
  • #45 Made me chuckle!
  • this really is milking to the max i'm tired rytheme games now, unless they make guitar hero: 21st century or Banjo Hero, i can't be asked.
  • what the fuck?!?! this, this really neeeds 2 stop. i still think they should make harmonica hero.
  • Haha nice comment #45! On topic though, isn't Band hero essentially World Tour?
  • how the hell is DJ hero gonna work??? band tour is techincally rock band/world tour, guitar hero 5? im still lookin for guitar hero 4, not world tour....
  • Guitar Hero. Soon in a serial box near you!
  • Band Hero, haha, I wonder what two franchises are merging together here *strokes his chin* GH5 should be one to look out for. I just want an ultimate Guitar Hero with every amazing song EVER, along with those random crappy songs, all the songs from previous Guitar Heros, and unlimited DLC because thats what the guitar hero games do best, provide DLC.
  • Money hungry execs FTL
  • wtf, dj hero >.>. the songs are gonna suck.
  • What idiot would by DJ Hero?! Why can't they make a Guitar Hero Iron Maiden?
  • IGN.com just confirmed that Bag Pipe Hero is the next game activison is releasing this year
  • dj hero was already a joke with a picture of the controller awhile ago on the net and it still looks to be a joke,rap is not music!
  • Soon there will be a competitor to the Guitar Hero series - Guitar Villain.
  • Rock band was fun but I'm tired of all the music games using the same music. And when are they going to add U2 song's. I'd buy Rock Band U2 or Guitar Hero U2 before Van Halen or The Beetles
  • Meh.
  • I'll stick to rock band where I can play all the songs on one disk instead of 100 disks for $60 each
  • It's just like a bad joke really, thats actually true xD a bit like if microsoft's april fools joke was true :P
  • Heh, Dj Hero
  • I have a feeling that they are only making band hero so everyone would stop calling GH:WT that, but seriously if someone was new to gaming, they could easily think these are super hero games(I hope I didn't just give Activision another idea;)
  • The DJ game was announced months ago.
  • if they made a Cowbell Hero, I'd probably try it out.
  • *sigh* Will someone please put Activision out of our Misery please?
  • I'm actually more pissed about Guitar Hero: Van Halen than I am about DJ Hero. Really. Who honestly likes David Lee Roth's voice. Really?
  • What's Band Hero? I would think it'd be like Rock Band, with 4 instruments, but they already have that in GH4, right?
  • i willing to bet money dat band hero is gonna include all instruments and da turntable is so the majority of that game better have some slipnot in it
  • I'm done with Guitar Hero games. Unless any of the set-lists (minus the stupid idea of dj hero, wtf??) are absolutely amazing to me, I won't be getting them.
  • Symphony Orchestra Hero would be kind of cool, the box in which all the instruments are shipped would be like a small house.
  • #61 FAIL. Stop generalizing rap. Not all of it sucks. If you truly believe that, then you are as ignorant as the people that enjoy Soulja Boy's music.
  • #76 FAIL. Its a proven fact that all rap sucks.
  • Show me your proof fuckwad.
  • @29---"Two guns for the entourage" LOL-- That is awesome!
  • lame
  • @79 why don't you show me some rap that doesn't suck monkeyballs, and we'll discuss it (if the universe doesn't implode first)
  • continuing my post #81, that would be a "proof by contrapositive"
  • Band Hero? Wtf? Isn't that just GH: World Tour? So I guess that means GH: World Tour was actually GH4? I myself am absolutely stoked about DJ Hero, seriously. It will be more fun than bass guitar at least!
  • I want my Bagpipe Hero, Piano Hero, Flute Hero, Trombone Hero, Ah you get the idea.
  • I always thought they should have called World Tour Band Hero instead, world tour makes no fucking sense. Out of these games, I will buy GH5 if it's guitar/bass only and has a good setlist. I'm not into the band thing
  • #81 I'm not going to argue with you in here, but look up Immortal Technique or Wu-Tang. Listen to the lyrics. Your head might explode, because it's actually good, but your probably going to sit there and deny it because that's what most ignorant people do. BTW, I listen to mostly Rock music, but have an open enough mind to listen to other genres, and appreciate what their trying to do.
  • Can we even Identify the Horse now?
  • Activision are ridiculous, DJ Hero? Seriously wtf, they just use the exact same concept over and over again and make profit from it. I stopped buying Guitar Hero for this reason.
  • Milk it baby, milk it!!!! Seriously though, quality over quantity Activation and sadly since Harmonix left the quality has being missing.
  • DJ Hero < Single Cell Organisms.
  • LOLZ!!!!! at 87. That made me piss myself LOLZ!!!!!!
  • *Facepalm*
  • ouch... sad
  • HAHAHAHAHAHA OMG LOSERS WHO LIKE THESE GAMES AAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  • @94 pretty ballsy claim from someone with GH2, GH3, GHWT, GHA, and RB on your gamercard.
  • I wouldn't necessarily say that it sucks just this whole new era of supposed "Rap", it just isn't music anymore, Run DMC, N.W.A., Funkmaster Flex,Wu-Tang Clan, that was music, nowadays, there is just swag, nothing good, as for DJ Hero, I believe it's not just going to be about rap, maybe only 10% of the game, which comes to maybe 1 Venue, but I think it's going to be some kind of club, dance, techno type stuff, but thats my opinion, Band Hero? didn't they do that with Guitar Hero World Tour? and Number 5 what they hell is this, they need to just calm down, only thing I see with possible success labeled on it, is Van Halen, but then again it could be another Aerosmith/Metallica
  • d3vilsnight, don't forget the best one yet Accordion Hero, Triangle Hero, Cowbell Hero
  • @97 i'd play accordion hero :P
  • OK, Activision, you can stop now...
  • Dj hero and gh5 and van halen for me please I know its milkage but I can afford it by the time they come out
  • GAY!!!!!! if they have time to make all these games, then don't get your hopes up. however i am thinking about getting van halen
  • They're pushing they're luck. The turntables peripheral looks cool, but that is way to many games.
  • @99 I agree.
  • GH:3 turned me off the set. RB(2) will keep me going, once I actually get my instruments back from my buddy and buy the disk for RB2. Like somebody said, gimme one disk and unlimited DLC, or the option to extract music from one game to the next, and I'm a happy camper. I don't need a new set of instruments and a new disc to keep in storage every time a larger amount of tracks comes out. Having said that, I'll be cool to get some of the songs from GH:1-3 redone as Smash Hits, but the track list is balls-deep in a corosive liquid, so I'll stay away from that particular game as well.
  • Will probably get GH5 if it has good songs but for the rest - no thanks, enough is enough, their fans are really gonna get bored with these games soon.
  • the only dj's i know are frakking a-holes. so they may as well call it frakking a-hole hero. no doubt we'll see that announced in a few months anyways... the "hero" brand totally sucks!!! PS - after GH1 and GH2 of course... harmonix beat these turds out any day
  • Cool, i want Cigar Box Guitar Hero next! Or maybe Electric Bagpipes Hero! Or Bubble Organ Hero. Yay, they would be fun (or possibly really gay.) Oh well, Anything to steal money from the public, eh, activision? (ps go on oddmusic.com, they got hundreds of weird instruments you can post on this thread.)
  • Band Hero? Are they taking the piss?
  • Activision get some new ideas! GH is fun when drunk and thats it tbh! Alpine Hero FTW!
  • I am going to have to go with South Park on this one... Heroin Hero FTW!
  • have a bubble mate talk about MILKING it
  • The people want Banjo Hero!!!!!!!!!! xD
  • "Band Hero" - an attempt by Activision to release GH:WT all over again with the exact same setlist and see how many idiots fall for it. In a Barack Obama America, it will succeed.
  • I know a cool game: Keyboard hero Drum hero Bass hero lol
  • lmao 113 .. true story
  • OMFG what next 'hillbilly banjo hero'
  • kill me
  • im looking forward but will they stop taking ideas from konami fingers crossed that its as good as beatmania
  • It seems the GH brand is now truly nothing more than a corporate cash in. Have they never heard of over saturating the market? I'm starting my own campaign: Take a stand, play Rock Band! lol
  • This made me laugh... Screw you, Activision.
  • this is starting to get so old.. Guitar Hero was fine when it first came out.. but geez the franchise is getting milked so badly right now.
  • Wow stealing Konami's games again "DJ Hero" is Beatmaina IIDX. Guitar hero 5 what happen to 4 I hope it's still a guitar only game.
  • Wonder how long they can milk this game?
  • Not more "Hero" games! I srill haven't finished GH:WT on expert bass or Didgeridoo Hero on Expert wind-wailer =[. RB is looking like more and more of a good option to me, with the huge set list, the amount of songs I know and like as DLC. Shame I have a GH Guitar though =/
  • DJ and Band Hero have been trademarked by Activision for a long time, this isn't news to me besides Van Halen, which I highly doubt has a large enough gamer fanbase to justify a standalone game. Retarded, never dropped a dime on any music games, and never will.
  • dammit i was thinking about marvel super hero game.like a cable game or something.
  • To be honest, I'm surprised that this fad has lasted even this long. But, wow. Activision sure seems to want to kill it with all these versions.
  • Banjo Hero Sitar Hero Bamboo Saxophone Hero Didgeridoo Hero Fence Hero Drumming-fingers-on-table Hero I like Gh but they're taking the piss now.
  • this from a guy named gypsy?
  • I'm hoping that by "Band Hero" That means they will make guitar hero 5 JUST the guitar and make it challenging songs? Otherwise, GH: VAN HALEN!!!!! Eruption is going to be sick.
  • I was never really into the music as a video game thing seeing as how I'm not completely retarded. Seriously, I mean I always thought it was ridiculous, but now its reached a level to where this should be ended. Hopefully by fire.
  • Are you kidding me...? DJ Hero. ...really? *facepalm*
  • Wow
  • sweet! i'll probably pick up gh5, sh, and vh after they drop in price a little. gotta love some easy achievements.
  • band hero... didn't they already do that in some previous carnation and name it wrong? Oh yeah, they cxalled that guitar hero!
  • Harmonix Hero : The Tribute the the company who actually released this same game ONCE a year
  • Poor Guitar Hero Is All Milked Dry Now, But Activision Wont Stop : L
  • I am officially done with Guitar hero. I'm gonna trade it in for Rock band now, where I can choose to download the extras I want rather than being raped by activision everytime I want new content. The DLC for guitar hero is lame as well. Aerosmith should have been DLC added to a vault contained within GHIII Metallica the same except added to GHWT Smash hits should have been split in to 4 DLC packs and added to GHWT aswell But no... that would be to simple, user friendly and wouldn't urge people to buy a whole nother retail disc full of shit. FUCK YOU ACTIVISION!!!
  • @19 i beat skinflute hero on expert AND expert+...without failing 5*'s every time
  • I WANT CELLO HERO!!! lol, that would be fun =P
  • hmm... Easy achievements are always nice I guess. I'll rent all but DJ
  • Slappa da Bass!
  • How... unfortunate. Haven't they milked this stupid idea enough yet?
  • With just 3 buttons and a scratch pad, I think the game will be way too simplistic compared to other DJ games out there. I will have to see more to see if I would like it or not. I hope DJ Hero sells well enough to make Konami want to bring out Beatmania IIDX 15th and Pop n Music 15 to Xbox 360.
  • LOL 139 beat the skin hero!
  • I say we take some DDR dance pads and throw them on the ground and invent Mosh Pit Hero before they get ahold of that too.....
  • wannabe rockstars with plastic axes and drums is really gay, especially if you're over twelve years old. Sorry.
  • I want DJ Hero >.
  • gay.
  • It's like, raping the cow so that the last few trickles of milk will fall. It's just RIDICULOUS. o__o
  • DJ Hero? Are you fucking kidding me. That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard of. Way to stoop to a new low Activison.
  • Did I miss guitar hero 4?
  • I got a fever... and the only prescription for it is 17 guitar hero games in the span of a year... Activision, you suck!
  • And people say Harmonix is the cash cow...
  • people shouldn't complain thats stupid. just don't buy them then they wont make them. The reason they make em is cause they sell, they are a business who can blame them. DJ sounds like it could be cool, need to see set list and game play though.
  • I could care less about about all but Guitar Hero: Van Halen. I've been saying to friends they should get there own for the past few years now. That will definately be a lot more fun and challanging than Aerosmith. And in some parts more than Metallica. Other than that, it's getting outta hand.
  • doorbell hero, awesome
  • Too many games in too shorter time. Give it a f'n rest activision. For god's sake...what's next cooking hero with a free plastic oven and notes to get a better taste. lol
  • wow chill... some of those are goin to be fuckin gayyyyy
  • I Cant wait for DJ Hero. but the rest are meh!
  • Congrats on #121 and # 128 on mentioning Didgeridoo Hero! What about One Man Band Hero? Anyway, I want to clear up something. Band Hero is not gonna be the EXACT same as GHWT. Game Informer said it is supposed to be more like top-40 hits rather than our beloved hardcore rock. It still sounds gay. GH is milking, with DJ Hero, Band Hero, GH:Van Halen, and GH5 (don't forget the DS games), but so is Rock Band, with the ludicrously expensive Beatles game and the PSP version, and we all can guess RB3.
  • Add these four to GH:M, Smash Hits, and the two DS GH titles sceduled to release this year, and you have 8 Hero games this year. I think its time for Activision to stop now, and save some face before these games turn out to be massive disappointments.
  • DJ Hero is for another whole group of gamers, so quit bashing on it. It looks good. It should have been just Van Halen and Metallica, Aerosmith was horrible. As for Band Hero, this will be obsolete if GH5 is a band game also. If GH5 comes back to GH3 style, then fkn A, but Band Hero shouldn't even come out. All in all, I only think they actually proved milking with GHA, GHOT, GHOTD, BH and GHM. Smash Hits is for gamers to have a chance to play some of the biggest hits from the past game (I didn't get a chance to). So basically The Good: GHSH GHVH GH5 DJ Hero (for a different crowd of gamer, not everyone likes rock/metal) The Bad: GH (DS) BH
  • im waiting for jukebox hero. . . .
  • Noticed that I agree on the most part with #157
  • THIS HAD BETTER BE A FUCKING JOKE
  • This guitar queero crap is seriously getting out of hand! And whats funny is they will keep making them because kids will keep buying them as long as there making them.I mean I will admit it was fun at first i actually enjoyed playing but when you stop and think about it you pay how much for these stupid games?you could actually buy yourself an actual bad ass electric(REAL GUITAR)and even pay for lessons,Or you could keep thinking your cool showing off your skill on a #$%king dumb ass plastic toy with colorful buttons perfect for your average queer!Kids think there too cool playing these games.
  • I'm still waiting for release of Washboard Hero in 2017
  • I love the stale taste of milk
  • I agree with myself (#157, lol) and #165 about DJ Hero. It is not my type of music, so I won't bash it. Smash Hits will be awesome for people who missed GH1, GH2, and 80s from the now quite obsolete PS2. It will also be master tracks (!) and will add more (drums, vocals) for those who are bored with those songs. I think more classic GH songs should be released through DLC. C'mon! No Gun's & Roses is terrible and needs to be fixed. Also, the GH3 list is a little lacking.
  • How about "stupid spolied Whore" hero?
  • Hopefully dj hero plays just like beatmania and isn't just rap
  • I think they're taking a little too far with DJ and Band Hero...
  • ACCORDION HERO!!!
  • When I originally clicked on this I thought it was going to be superhero games lol.
  • What the hell is Band Hero compared to GHWT? And will GH5 revert to just guitar again? I'll have to try a demo of DJ Hero and look at the track list before I even consider shelling out more money to Activision.
  • DJ HERO FTW!
  • DJ Hero- no Band Hero- no Van Halen- no GH5- hopeful. i am dearly hoping it DOES revert back to just Guitar. the added instruments means a flood of dumb songs. i loved GH back when the guitar was the spotlight, not this sing-song crap we have now.
  • I want my hero! (pl0x.)
  • DJhero: And another Konami ripoff, yeah ._.
  • This is so stupid. Why would they make a game called Band Hero if Guitar Hero World Tour already uses the whole band.
  • Ughhh give us a break already Activision.
  • ACTIVISION YOU WHORE, YOU ARE NOT EA NOW STOP FUNDING SHOVELWARE!
  • I am sorry i myself was #158, not #157. As for all those ppl wondering wtf band hero is, read my comment or go on the Game Informer website.
  • omg leave it out this is so stupid
  • Band Hero: wtf? DJ Hero: WHAT THE FU-... well... ehhh has potential. Guitar Hero 5: meh if it has a solid setlist ill buy it. Guitar Hero Van Halen: GAY
  • I LOL'D Hard at that image. Thats the saddest thing I've ever seen. 3 buttons?! Are you fucking kidding me?! AND it appears there's only one vinyl, wtf!? Scratch DJ's use 2, and a cross-fader, which is obviously not in this picture, so do they even know what the fuck they're doing anymore?!
  • uhm... what?
  • Beating a dead horse
  • haha, DJ controller FTW!
  • BOOOOOOOO
  • fuck off! i want guitar hero slipknot! do some bands which would make good challenging songs and if it has swearing rate the game MA who cares about a few little kids who's parents dont like swearing, they would have been sweared at on live!
  • And don't forget, kids: GH Motley Crue is rumored to be in the pipeline, too!
  • All before the year is out. Whos gonna buy all this crap!
  • yet again.. opinionated. Activision is showing to us as a society that their passion is making games to satisfy our wants.. which is playing plastic, but is still fun nonetheless. Sure they are milking the almighty cash cow, but most people, like myself, couldn't care honestly. Try this stuff out in the upcoming future and then pick out its flaws. Its like judging a book by its cover, most ignorant people on here don't want to play these games because Activision is 'taking it a bit too far.' I will always be a guitar hero fan for life because I grew up with it. In short words (^not short), play whatever you want and learn to accept things. I'll personally pick up Guitar hero 5 and Van Halen.... because I appreciate the music in all of these games, and because I hate Rock Band's
  • GH2 still owns them all bye GH series.....
  • #197 thats tro. GH powns all Gh games :D but i still going do bay DJ hero
  • I still think there should be a Air Band Hero!!! (Lol... anyone here watch SCRUBS?)
  • Beatmania>DJ Hero.
  • They wont stop till the world explodes.. so many games and no quality ones.
  • The only thing that caught my eye is DJ hero but everything else is crap.
  • Fuck GH: Van Halen, where is GH: Iron Maiden???
  • Ill buy... every one of them. Keep bringing em on, activision, i'll keep buying.
  • erm... band hero? MERDA!!!
  • What in the hell is band hero?? i mean guitar hero has the whole band. so what is this?
  • personally id like to rock out on a lute... that would be almost as awesome as jug band hero would be!!!!
  • I don't buy GH5 or Band Hero, stick to Rockband 2 for that cause much more DLC then Activision so there a good game from EA, But DJ Hero I wanna check out couse RB has no scratch option :P
  • Is it just me or arent they gonna eventually run out of songs. well rock songs anyway. I mean the standards are alrerady dropping for DLC and original tracks. maybe it was just me :/
  • Im all for some new music games... i've been with GH through and through have rock band and gh... and this is starting to get stupid. I mean at $60 a pop even more so. DJ Hero looks interesting. I have been a supporter of Smash Hits just so i could play the master recording of freebird and the other songs with vocals and drums... but gh 5, band hero, and gh van halen? if world tour dlc doesnt transfer i say boycott... and you should be able to transfer setlists... jesus.... BAND HERO?! REALLY?!
  • This is why Guitar Hero will lose the war with Rockband coming out with these many games just proves they need to make money fast. Rockband is making money just sitting on there asses sending new and great songs every tuesday that must be killing Guitar Hero
  • Guitar Hero: Van Halen...and I thought expert on Metallica songs were hard...sigh
  • everyone here complaining is probably below the age of 12 and has never been to an arcade in their life(aka dont call yourself a real gamer cuz u sit in ur house all day in front of ur xbox)... games like this have been out FOREVER.. this is nothing new, its just the first time to come to a console. it was just a matter of time!
  • swissh looks fun (:
  • You can't hate the company for wanting to make money, that's how businesses are run these days, something sells well you keep selling it until you can't sell it no more. As long as the fad continues they'll keep whoring the "hero" franchise so you better get used to it. In no time they'll have something new anyways
