Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I finally got my chance to get this a couple days ago, and so far I'm very impressed with it.

First, I'll talk about the new guitar controller and explain to you why this (or the super bundle) is completely worth it.The new guitar is sleek.All the electronics in the controller are built into the center, enabling the body itself to be completely interchangeable.I doubt I'll ever personally make use of that feature, but it's neat nonetheless.The Wii remote is inserted into a spot on the neck where the touch-pad would have been.By the way, I'm VERY happy that Activision did away with the touch-pad.I often found it to be cumbersome, overly sensitive and overall useless.This new guitar also has an improved strum bar.It's a bit smaller, it takes getting used to, but in the end it's worth it because once you get used to it, you find that it allows you to focus on the faster guitar parts that approach as the game nears its finish.Overall, one of my favorite guitar controllers yet!

Now, onto the game, and the glitch I mentioned in the title.Essentially, Warriors of Rock is Guitar Hero 5, only the songs are better, the game is a bit tougher, and the carrer mode takes a back seat to an all-new quest mode which completely turns Guitar Hero on an axis of sorts.Each set-list is centric to a particular genre.For example, Johnny Napalm (the punk with a mohawk) has an all punk-rock set, which when completed "transforms" him.This occurs for each of the different characters, each with a different genre of rock, such as classic rock, emo, southern rock, and glam.

The game also features one whole side-quest centered around the entirety of Rush's "2112".Playing it in this game truly is of a rock-godly nature.Each part is divided by cinematic narration by Rush.Though those sequences did absolutely nothing for me or the game, it was still cool to hear what exactly the band members intended for the narrative of 2112.It's probably my favorite part of the game so far.

However, the heavy metal is really prominent in this game, and in my opinion it's what truly matters.Megadeth appears THREE times in this game, which of course you may know by now that Megadeth recorded a song exclusively for this game, which by judging from the song itself sounds like is gonna be a fury for whoever plays it.Aside from that, Neversoft made darn sure the game's difficulty was kicked up a notch.I'm an Expert mode player, but I was even finding it tough to play on Hard mode here.I'm not complaining though, I'll complain when Activision allows a game as easy as GH5 ever again to be released.

But now I'm blabbering.Onto the glitch I meant.I noticed during "No More Mr. Nice Guy" by Alice Cooper that the audio totally does not play at all.I paused it to try looking up the problem online.I couldn't find anything, so I unpaused it.The good news is, the audio played.The bad news is, it was one long, irritating, repeating skip.Oddly enough, I still got a 7-star score in the game.Oh by the way, the scoring system is entirely different in this game.Like, there's no score in quest mode, aside from the multiple stars you can earn in a set.

Well, I feel lime playing more now.If anyone here reads this review and you have the same problem happen to you, please comment on this review.And if anyone else knows how I can get through to Activision to see if they're aware of this problem, please comment as well.I'm really curious to know why it does that.

So yeah, basically, what the title says.Other than that annoying glitch, this game rules.
