Guitar Hero 5 (Wii) Review

The Guitar Hero series has gone from a humble rhythm title to a house hold name in the span of a few years. People all across the globe have heard of and experienced in some form the phenomenon that is Guitar Hero. While the successful Guitar Hero: World Tour took the series to uncharted territory, the newly released Guitar Hero 5 manages to surpass it in every facet of gameplay.

Guitar Hero was made for parties, and with this addition to the series the developers have truly adopted this, making it the easiest game to launch into and rock out with your mates. The menu system has been stripped down to it’s core, making it so easy your Grandmother could navigate her way through it with little confusion. Add this alongside the new party play mode and you have the easiest Guitar Hero experience ever. From the title menu the game cycles through in-game tracks, like a digital jukebox. If you hear a song that takes your fancy, simply hit a button and you are launched into the song. Once you are in the game players can drop in or drop out, add more players or you can even skip to a new song without ever stopping. This makes for some great party action with minimal fuss, minimal effort and maximum rock!

The entire song catalogue is available from the get-go so the inclusion of a career mode might seem pointless to some, but regardless of the fact you don’t need to unlock songs there is a deep and immersive experience awaiting you. Unlike previous entries in the series there is no story and there is no cash to be earned from well played gigs. It’s just you and your band mates playing through the songs. The focus this time round is to earn stars on each songs which unlock extras and perks along the way. The inclusion of bonus challenges for each song is a great touch that will bring you back to each song more than once.

There has been so many versions of Guitar Hero released over the years that it can often be confusing to decided which version is right for you. For new comers or those who often play with other lounge room rockers, it’s hard not to recommend Guitar Hero 5. With it’s diverse track listing, various gameplay modes, and simplistic and streamlined approach, it’s the best version of the game currently available.
