Fantastic Game for All Guitar Hero Fans, and a Welcome Return to the Franchises Rock n' Roll Roots
I'd say this is the best Guitar Hero game that was released. I love the song list (which contains 93 songs!), the characters, and the leveling system incorporated in Quickplay.
Quest Mode:
The last game before Guitar Hero Live released, Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock sends you on a quest to find the legendary guitar, save the Demigod of Rock, defeat the beast, and save rock and roll. Each chapter consists of a character that has a unique power (Johnny Napalm has Speed Freak, Axel Steel has Resurrection, etc.) that is used to earn power stars. Along the way, you'll progress 8 rocker into their "warrior" forms, granting them a new look and upgrading their power.
Quickplay+:
Unique to this game is the star challenges that each song (including DLC songs) has. Each song has challenges for all the instruments, and challenges for band play as well. Up to 3 challenges are available to try for your instrument of choice, and even if you aren't focused on trying them, they still track your progress in the song.
These challenges have 3 levels of achievement: Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. With each completed challenge, an extra star is earned towards leveling. The max amount that can be obtained at once is 15 (6 from 100%ing the song, and 9 from getting diamond on all 3 challenges).
Leveling System:
In Quickplay+, earning stars allows you to level up and unlock many kinds of things. These include, but not limited to: Characters, Venues, Galleries, Cheats/Extras, Instruments, etc. (Some of these can be unlocked by playing through Quest Mode, with a select few ONLY being unlockable in Quest Mode). Overall, the level system really inspires you to try harder difficulties and different instruments to earn the most stars that you can. There is no level cap, so you can go as high as you can!
Wrapping up, I'd say this is the best Guitar Hero in the series. While some may not like it as its mostly comprised of metal and rock songs, or that some songs are too difficult, veteran fans of the series will feel welcome here in this challenging, but rewarding rock and roll paradise.Read full review
