Last week, Activision released the 4th installment in the Guitar Hero series (not including Rock the 80s and Aerosmith). Guitar Hero World Tour is the franchises answer to last seasons huge success, and the first full band game ever, Rock Band.
The game features a pretty in depth song list, as well as innovations to both the instruments and the game. However, the game has been criticized in this installment, namely by the gaming industries biggest online magazine, IGN, and receiving the lowest rating in the entire GH/RB war, a 7.9.
Rock Band received a lower ranking than the first, simply due to lack of innovation with the new game, receiving a 9, while RB1 got a 9.4 rating.
Some of the flaws have been faulty instrumentation, gameplay issues, and core values in the games franchise that were just missing.
I have yet to pick up the game with instruments, but I did manage to rent the game itself today, and will be taking the guitar part of the game for a spin tonight.
I'll let you know how it goes.
