Xbox 360 Guitar Hero 5 Guitar Bundle

I just got this game and it's amazing!I'm not gonna review this based on tracklist, cause everyone have different opinions, but i'm reviewing it entirelyFirst: HardwarePretty decent guitar, great improvement the ability to detach the neck to the body, it really helps carrying it. The touch track it's great, pretty responsive and gives extra funcionalities like Slap-bassing and wah-wahs.It looks the most solid one from the series and it has a good wheight and size.Secondly: GameI've not played GH: World tour, but since GH: 3, Aerosmith and all. this game seems GREAT!you may play with your 360's avatar and you can also customize your own rocker (leeched from Rock band, so what? it makes this game great), the tutorials cover pretty much the new aspects of the game and there is the GH Studio, where you can Jam songs and even create your own song!! This last feature seems great, it's kinda deep and it's not soo easy to work with it at first, but i'm sure it's that way so you can do almost any song you want! and you don't even have to have the drums hardware to record it on GH Studio. It's great also for just Jamming, practicing wah-wahs, bass slaping and soloing. NICE!

Guitar was awesome but the game I received did not work at all. I unwrapped the official seal, put the game in and a white screen with the xbox 360 showed up. The xbox could not recognize the game and therefore gave me the "disc is unreadable" message.I love the Guitar....thank god I bought Guitar Hero World Tour as well or I would have wasted ALL my money not just half of it.It would be too much of a pain to re-pack the box so I just didn't send it back.

I have played just about every Guitar Hero game; from the original Guitar Hero (on PS2) to this new installment. This game surpasses the others by a long shot! Not only because of the great music, but because Party Mode is genius on the part of the game developers. I have often wanted to (or needed to) step out of a song for one reason or another, and now I can do so without ruining the game for my kids. I also like the fact that, unlike GH World Tour, as a singer on GH 5 you can tell whether or not you're doing well on a song. All in all, this was a great buy.

Bought this recently when it was on sale. I read some reviews (on here) about people getting a bad disc, but for around $36 it was a reasonable gamble. Well, it didn't pay off....twice. My original they sent was bad and the replacement set. Amazon stepped up and gave me 50% off the price which made it worth keeping the plastic guitar I guess, but I still don't have a playable game. The first copy I got worked for a week, then got the 'Disc unreadable' message, but even for that whole week the disc sounded like it was barely working in the xbox. Once replaced, the second copy gave that error on the first try and wouldn't even boot. I called Activision and they will replace it after a ton of hassle and cost on the consumers end - so at this point, I asked Amazon to help resolve this from a distribution end (get new copies that work). Obviously this does not seem to affect everyone here, but be carefull when ordering and realize your 'working' copy may not work forever.If you hear a lot of grinding and deal with slow load times on your disc, then you probably have a bad pressing that happens to just barely work - good luck weeks from now.Worst part for me is that I paid to add the songs from World Tour when the first disc worked and I even downloaded a couple of songs....wasted.I see from googling that this is a known issue at this point (PS2 version appears to have a problem as well).

Being late on the hip circuit, I purchased this game and an additional controller for my 16 year old son's Christmas present, and it is one of the better video game purchases I've made.First of all, the game is very easy to learn - which is one of the reasons why whenever we play, everyone in the family gets involved. Whenever we have a gathering, this game presents a sure way to get shy guests to mingle a bit. The graphics are seemless and the music selection is excellent - containing a cross section of oldies and new releases. There should be something that appeals to everyone, with a whole range of skill-levels.You can choose from the games pre-selected rock stars (with females represented in good measure, by the way), or you can build your own. As you win, you acquire small extras like new guitars and other accessories - as well as unlocking additional known stars as Shirley Manson and Johnny Cash. I found myself playing this for hours on certain days.So what is this game not? For one thing, it is not a substitute for learning how to play a musical instrument for real. At best, it might get a reluctant child interested in doing so, but really it's not what the game is for.A few other gripes - very minor. Your band does not taylor itself to the actual song with regard to your lineup. This results in the unrealistic (and perhaps unintentionally amusing) side effect of a female rock-star singing a Megadeth song, for example. Also, the videos are canned and not very interactive. You will hear booing when you don't hit notes, but the crowd will still be jumping up and down in a frenzy. Also, being a guitarist myself, I found some of the "button" progressions on a few songs illogical and not in line with the music.The hardware seems sturdy enough. We've been playing for a good month now on and both of the guitars are still in perfect working order. No qualms there.Overall I would highly recommend for anyone who wants a family friendly interactive game experience that everyone can participate in.
