Weak

Flawed beyond forgiveness

Well I am a giant fan of the Guitar Hero franchise and am proud to say that I have beaten Guitar Hero 3, World Tour and Metallica on expert. But literally 10 seconds after I started playing this game, I knew I wouldn't enjoy it. One of the main reasons I rented it was for the Avenged Sevenfold Song "The Beast and the Harlot", but I honestly don't think it is worth dragging through the entire boring setlist to get to it. Which brings me to it's next problem. I can't count how many times I was playing a completely routine section of just the same note over and over, and it would make me miss a note. It's physics are drastically sub par. poor design constantly undermines the player, the main example being that you can hardly tell hammerons from regular notes and they all constantly run together. I have played 5 songs and am forced to send it back.
If you are new to the guitar hero franchise, I urge you to start on world tour or 3. And if you have experience with GH, then don't waste your time with this game because it will only aggravate you.

Why has activision not thrown in an update to allow use of the rockband controllers? They are just lame I guess. Take some advice activision. Until you make a bigger better guitar like rockband has, your just gonna keep sucking. Guitar hero 5 sucks as well. Give all your rights to harmonix and quit trying.
