Developed by: Neversoft
Published by: Satan
Released: September 1st (US); September 11 (Lesser Countries)
Guitar Hero is the second video game to simulate the full band experience. However, unlike the conservative, coffee drinking stiffs making Rock Band, Neversoft have unleashed the full power of your plastic instrument collection by allow any combination of up to 4 instruments to play together. No more will people be forced to play bass, drums or vocals. In Guitar Hero 5, you can be a guitar hero even if your stupid friends or family refuse to play lesser instruments.
On 08/08/09 Neversoft announced partial tracklist exportability, enabling Guitar Hero 5 owners to potentially play their favourite songs from previous GH titles with "World" or "Smash" in the title. This groundbreaking innovation not only exports the songs for use in Guitar Hero 5, but also Band Hero, the incredible new action rhythm game from your friends at Activision, coming November 2009. Both games are also compatible with Guitar Hero: World Tour Downloadable Content, except for the 6 best songs. Neversoft are committed to creating the biggest pseudo music platform available!
