NOTE: This game is playable with standard controllers. The guitar controller is not included with rental or purchase.
Turn that amp to 11 and grab your axe, because it's time to rock! Step on stage and into the spotlight as you join your band to blow the doors off the joint. A star-studded soundtrack - including rock 'n' roll hits from the Beastie Boys, Pearl Jam, KISS, Alice Cooper, and Heart - is your back-up band as you wail on lead guitar. Take on rock legends in massive battles to see who can shred the hardest, or grab a friend and prove who's got the best chops in expanded multiplayer modes. And just when you thought there was no more rock, download all-new songs and themes, or upload your best moments and show the world you're the best!
