These are a good collection of songs but to me they are more guitar based ones, so if you have someone doing vocals then they may have sections of the songs just standing there. This is mostly with the older rock songs with 2 or 3 guitar solos!!
Fans of Guitar Hero World Tour may feel a tad disappointed, as this feels more like an add-on rather than a full proper game. This all could have been just DLC. Either that or released at a lower price.
VideogameUK verdict: 7/10
