Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock Review

i got this game a couple of days ago, and i've been playing it non-stop since. here's my review of the 6th mainsteam guitar hero.

 

Graphics: 8

i like the artistic style of the menu's, making it seem alot more like classic guitar hero, but i was dissapointed that the gameplay ran on exactly the sam engine that ran guitar hero 5. still the graphics are pretty good so i can't mark it down for that.

 

Sound: 10

it's a guitar hero game, what do you expect?

they opted for a heavy guitar-based set list this time. throw in some punk and alternative and it works well. much better than the hip-hop, pop, r&b and soul they tried in gh5. also very nice sound affects, and various bits of voice acting by gene simmons from kiss and geddy lee from rush.

 

Gameplay: 10

now we're getting down the the important stuff. whether you agree with my 10 really depends on how you like guitar hero. they've gone in a good direction with awesome power ups, several challenges for each song, and i gotta tell you it feels epic earning 40 stars on a song. although be prepared to drop down a difficulty level, on gh5 i considered myself a hard/expert player, but on this i could only expert a couple of songs, hard/medium'd most songs, and a couple i had to even drop down to easy to do

 

Presentation: 8.5

nicely presented, along with a pretty snazzy story mode. not the best i've ever seen though, but nice for a music game.

 

Multiplayer: 10

I call it multiplayer, but i guess it's more accessibility. this game is better than ever to play with freinds. they kept the party play mode which is great if you have friends who can only survive on easy (like most of mine). there are lots of options for the new quickplay+ which will help you play easier.

 

Lasting Appeal: 9.5

now, i've gotten bored with most of my previous guitar hero games eventually. but i'm not sure i will with this. i'm working on fully completing the quest, and then i'm going to try and do the challenges for all the songs, and after that i'll still play just for fun. with imports and DLC i have almost 300 songs in the library

 

Result: 9.3

beats it's previous games in pretty much every aspect. get it if you like music/rhythm games.
