Guitar Hero: Aerosmith First Impressions
I decided to rent Guitar Hero: Aerosmith since I already have the guitars and I heard the achievements are stackable so I no longer have play on every difficulty setting to get all the achievements. Finally, I can play though on Hard and get the Easy and Medium achievements as well. After loading the game up the first thing I did was to try my Rock Band wired guitar which worked great. I'm really glad because I've seen polls showing that about half of people who tried could not get the Rock band Guitar to work in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and the other half could. Since I like the Rock band guitar a lot better than my Guitar Hero Xplorer I was pretty excited when it worked. I've played about 8 or 10 songs so far and I have mixed feelings about the game. I should preface that by saying that I'm not a real big Aerosmith fan. So far, playing all their songs is getting a bit old because they all feel the same. However, the opening ats songs have been pretty fun to play. Overall though I like Rock Band better. I can't quite put my finger on why, but the songs in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith are just not as fun to play as the ones in Rock Band. I think it is how they structure the note charts, but I'll have to play more of each to see if I can figure it out. After I get through more of the game I'll get a full review together, but that might take a few days since I keep going back to Rock Band.

Having recently just got Rock Band I'd agree that it feels better than GH. I think you're right about the note placement, they seem to suit the songs better. Is the RB Fender Guitar alot better than the GH Xplorer? I've only got the latter.

I like the RB guitar better because it is larger and the buttons click a little when you hit them which helps me make sure I'm on the right ones.

I think GH should have saved this type of gameplay for their band version of GH with the drums and stuff. That way a group of people could experience the Aerosmith lifestyle together. Also they should have maybe focused on a particular musician that has spanned several bands, like David Grohl. This way players could get some Nirvana and Foo Fighters. Or David Navarro so players could get some Janes Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and whatever else that fools been in.
