  A post in another thread put me in mind of this. Guitar hero games, do you like them, do you not get the hype? Do you have a favourite and one you really dislike? Some points around this were coming out on another thread so enjoy!

  I really liked the Guitar Hero Games (don't understand why they stopped making them) there are some better than others Warriors of Rock is my personal favourite, the best combination of songs on that one.
  The worst Guitar Hero 5, most of the songs on that were terrible and had no place being on a Guitar Hero game.

  See GH 5 had good game mechanics and in itself was a great game, just it had the worst setlist by such a long way! There was maybe 10 songs out of 80ish that I liked. I liked the ability to import older GH games songs into it though, that was a nice touch. But everything it did warriors of rock did better, with a more solid soundtrack.

  That's the problem though isn't it really, a game like Guitar Hero ultimately comes down to the track list and it was really awful in Guitar Hero 5 i'm pretty sure it actually had Coldplay in it, it was embarrasing.
  It's a shame they stopped making Guitar Hero but at least it went out on a high with Warriors of Rock.

  yo be fair the fourth one also had coldplay in it. It wasn't them that bothered me, it was the stuff I'd just never heard that was the problem! I don't think they've stopped making them, I think it's just a hiatus for the moment, so I hope for more.

  I didn't see the point passed Guitar Hero 3. After that it became about the band element which meant they had to find tracks that suited all the instruments as well as vocals. The earlier ones all featured tracks that were serious shredding tunes that were based around being fun on the guitar. Even the tracks I didn't personally love were wicked to play along with.

  That's true, where it gained party play fun it lost focus, but I love the different instruments, and on some tracks it still has fierce shredding, just with pounding drums and kick ass vocals as well, that's why I still love the series. You should try warriors of rock, it was a real return to form, guitar very much lead the way, and if it was fun for other instruments, more the better.

  That is why Warriors of Rock was my favourite though, it brought back the proper shredding songs that one, the track listing was mostly metal.
  I never actually bothered buying the full band kit only bought a second guitar for it with Warriors of rock, the others i used the same guitar controller from the third game.

  mmmm, have to say though the guitars packaged with world tour onwards were a lot easier to use, they had a bigger strum bar, which made chugga chugga songs a hell of a lot easier! Very good hardware.

  I agree there, the guitar controllers especially were better made later on, the one with Warriors of Rock had alot more weight to it than the ones included with previous games (plus i thought that one just looked better than the others as well)
  I really can't say that i know if the band kit got improved over the games, never used any of them.
