Returning Gamer review Tue, 06 Oct 2009

Guitar Hero 5 offers a solid selection of great tunes to rock out on, as well as some neat additional features to keep fans of the series content for another year.

There aren't many games that offer me the chance to really annoy my neighbors. I guess that's probably because there aren't many games that feature a drum kit! I'm actually quite musically talented myself. I play guitar in a small band with some mates and also am pretty nifty on the drums. So a game like Guitar Hero is right up my street.

Family Gamer review Mon, 28 Sep 2009

Stripping away the hardcore ingredients that made Guitar Hero 3 and World Tour so difficult to get into, Guitar Hero 5 changed its spots and became a wonderfully easy game for everyone to get into. With the annoying gameplay mechanics of the previous iterations eliminated, we found the Avatar support and the overall accessibility opening the experience up to the more casual players of my family.

Coming to this after the amazing Beatles Rock Band experience I was sceptical that anything Guitar Hero could throw my way would be special. After all, the only direction you can go after the Fab Four is down, especially when it comes to how accessible their music is. But to my surprise Guitar Hero 5 blew off its own hardcore shackles and opened up a new side that was instantly family friendly and less oppressive than I'm usually accustomed to. This newfangled approach was oddly served by a bizarre and awkward playlist that tried to be everything to everybody and yet appealed to no-one.
