In comparison to Guitar Hero World Tour as my only reference; there's alot more options for multiplayers (up to 8), and Band format. Scoring has changed so that only one instrument may be able to take the challenge, or some are require at least 2 instruments playing just to take the challenge. Many new features such as finding band members & friends online are nice. Roadie Battles are new, and the song list is huge. You can import songs from GHWT onto the song list also. They've deleted "Strong Start & Finish points, but added other bonus points for notes in a row, strumming alternating, and strumming up only, also whammy bar use, and HOPO hits. For a limited time they also offer the Van Halen game with it, or mail in coupon to get it free. The songs are tougher! Medium on GHWT is about the same as beginner on GH5. I've only had it about two weeks, but enjoy it very much.Read full review
First off, it's a Guitar Hero game. That alone makes it at least worth a rent. Some good things about this game is the improvement of the band lineup. You can pick your player as usual, but you can pick what characters you want (like Izzy Sparks) to fill the other remaining slots in your band, making your band feel unique and more life-like (since the band members will always be the same and won't change out for every song). The animation and graphics have improved some. Singers feel more alive and actually lip-sync the songs quite well. While the graphics will obviously be sub-par to its 360 and PS3 counterparts, it holds up well. However, there were a few things that bugged me in this game. First off, the concept of a storyline here is virtually nonexistent. In past games, you move up from small party performances to large stadium concerts while trying to accomplish something in the end. This game has none of that. Just play through the venues and beat enough songs and you win. The end. Not very satisfying. Also, the lack of songs people have heard of is present here as it was in World Tour. I might not be an audiophile but I had never even heard of about half of the bands listed. Lastly, I wish the game was more consistent in what it delivered. Songs range from the slowest indie to button mashing metal. I heard that this will be improved on in the upcoming game, Warriors of Rock, so it's not a huge deal. All in all, it has it's flaws, but at least it's worth a play or two. Rock on!Read full review

9.0 Presentation The in-song interface is much improved, and there are more modes on Wii than 360/PS3. SD HC and no friend codes rocks. 8.5 Graphics The visual style could use a reboot, but the graphical tech is impressive. Stronger lighting, better mo-cap, but the same gritty, forced rocker look is there. 9.0 Sound The Wii version’s audio quality has been upped, and that’ll carry over to all DLC both new and old. GH Tunes has seen massive improvements as well. Even DS audio rocks in Roadie Battle. 9.0 Gameplay Guitar Hero’s core formula may be getting stale, but the amount of new modes, options, and improvements makes for a great game. It’s massive, and a blast to play. 10 Lasting Appeal Online, Wii-exclusive Mii Freestyle and Roadie Battle, improved online, stronger DLC, new competitive modes, better GH Tunes, DS connectivity, and more. Wow. Just wow.Read full review
The game occasionally has some graphic errors, but other than that its good.
