Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
Guitar Hero Aerosmith is one of the many versions of Guitar Hero published by Activision and Neversoft Ent, and was launched June 29th 2008. The game keeps the same game play as other versions; the main difference is that this one is focused on the Rock Band, Aerosmith.
For the few who have never heard of Guitar Hero, this game isn't played with a regular controller but with a guitar. It comes with five multi-colored fret buttons as well as a very responsive strum bar. How to play? Easy, you simply press the fret buttons on the guitar while ?notes' scroll down on screen and indicate the rhythm of the song. You activate these notes by flicking the strum bar.
This version of Guitar Hero comes with a total of 41 brand new songs, mostly Aerosmith?s. It seems obvious that if you don't like this band, you better buy another version of the game. Guitar Hero Aerosmith also distinguishes itself from the others by offering a kinder difficulty and therefore an easier access for newcomers. Players, who thought GHIII was insanely hard, will appreciate more this one. On the contrary, the ones who are looking for a real challenge will find GH Aerosmith way too simple.
The game keeps the original Guitar Hero spirit with the famous career mode and of course, the possibility to unlock new songs, outfits, characters, and videos. Let?s not forget, this game is just another version of Guitar Hero III and adds up to the collection without bringing anything new to the series.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith reviews
The latest Guitar Hero is an Aerosmith fan's dream come true, but the game's narrow focus and lack of content will prove unappealing to many others.

There are a ton of excellent bands out there that would be perfectly suited to have their music featured prominently in a stand-alone Guitar Hero game. The concept is a good one, though it has the potential to alienate players who might not particularly enjoy the group in question. Given the choice, classis rockers Aerosmith would not have been among my first pick of bands for such a venture - my short-list would likely include the Pixies, Dillinger Escape Plan, Sonic Youth, Rush, and perhaps some ridiculous 80's cheese metal bands thrown-in for good measure. Regardless, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is indeed the first of what will hopefully be many more spinoffs in the killer franchise to heavily feature the work of specific artists.
