Review 0.41 Guitar Hero 5 PS3

A late Christmas wish to all friends and family! The only day throughout the whole year where everyone from work gets a day off and spend quality time with family, friends and food and celebrate this wonderful day!




Today's review is actually incomplete as I played only one of the game modes (We jumped straight in with Quickplay mode) and used only one of the many rules (We used "Pro Faceoff") within that mode.



Obviously to have a duel, one guitar is not enough so here is a Les Paul guitar



Side by side comparison shown with poor lighting



The buttons are the same width but the "sliding bar" is missing on the Les Paul (all black guitar) compared to the original and so this makes the Les Paul shorter in length.

Before I proceed with the review, I would like to declare that the duel that ensued between Mr.P and myself was of an unofficial capacity as my initial intention for that night was to review Mr.P's copy of the game (FYI Out of 9 selected songs, I won only 3). Therefore my record against my arch-rival stands at 0-1 :)

A brief history between Mr.P and myself. I met Mr.P at an internet rivalry site where one finds and challenges other players for pride and glory at various activities which I have beaten him in such as
- Bomberman
- Push ups
- Wearing tight shirts

We quickly selected 9 songs and I noticed the songs didnt't include the freshest hits. But compared to the Guitar Hero World Tour version, this version featured a better mix of familiar songs like Gorillaz's 2005 'Feel good inc' to the classic 1973 'Superstition' by Stevie Wonder that anyone in their twenties will recognise.

Now the "Pro faceoff" mode is really all about having nerves of steel, the key to this mode is not to miss notes. Those familiar with the Guitar Hero franchise will know about the 'multipliers' within the game. If one is not confident and keep missing notes then they will lose the song as their multipliers with plummet and stay at zero. But even if your opponent leading but fails to maintain their multipliers, you can still catch up provided you dont miss your notes and keep your multiplier up. A really good mode that is included in this game.

This is it for now for part one of this review
