Guitar Hero World Tour


I've decided to postpone the post about the Led Zeppelin blog and do something different. About a couple days ago I bought the new Guitar Hero, even though I play the real guitar, this game is still one of my favorite video games. Just because you can rock out to some awesome songs with friends, it doesn't matter who it is, anyone can pick up Guitar Hero and play their favorite songs. Well maybe the video game bloggers already covered the game but instead of talking about the game components and what not, I'm going to talk more about the music that is on it rather than the components of the game. Lets start off by saying that this games songlist is amazing, it included some of my favorite songs and some classics that I've loved my whole life. Some artists include Jimi Hendrix, Sublime, Creedance Clearwater, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Oasis, Lynard Skynard and the list goes on. I've also noticed that a lot of these songs include amazing solos because the game includes this solo feature for guitar that gives it a unuasul but pretty cool feel to the guitar. Not only are most of the songs on the list great ones, but the list is huge. Before actually playing the game I unlocked the songs just to check them out and the list just kept on going and going, and the more I scrolled down the artists just kept getting better. There is also a band feature where you are able to play other instruments with friends, this concept is really cool because to be able to jam out to your favorite songs with friends is something everyone should experience. I also want to say that this years game doesn't include as many heavy metal songs as the previous games, and if there are they're out numbered by the other different genres of rock songs. I thought this was the best part of the songlist, because it doesn't mainly just have one type of music on it, it includes music from all over the rock scene, which is something great because people are able to get a taste of all different types of music. The best feature I think about the game is the ability to create your own song in the game. The game includes this program that lets you create notes for different instruments and then once the song is created, it gives you the chance to give your song a try. This I thought was a really nice feature because some one with not so much experience with instruments or music can buy this game, make their own song, and then jam out to it and enjoy the feeling that you get when you play something you created. Well there you go a guide through the music of Guitar Hero World Tour. I'm sure you all have played the game and thought it was really fun, this one is no different give it a try I'm sure you won't be dissappointed.
