Guitar Hero, much like [shal]Rock Band[/shal] now, allows up to four band mates to play together. The standard setup includes a singer, guitarist, bassist, and drummer. But there was no real way to have two drummers, three bassists, or four singers. [shal]Neversoft[/shal], however, is determined to change all that with [shal]Guitar Hero 5[/shal].
Not content with simply following in Rock Band’s footsteps, Guitar Hero 5 (which should really just be called Band Hero) will allow players to create any instrument setup they like, adding some much needed freedom to the multiplayer sessions. There’s also a new addition to the series called RockFest, which includes five competitive modes that can be played both online and offline.
Neversoft is also eliminating the progression system, which means the entire song list is playable the second you pop in the disc. And better yet, all DLC from Guitar Hero: World Tour will be playable in Guitar Hero 5. Definitely a smart move that will win praise from fans of the series.

ROCK ON!
This alone is a move in the right direction IMO. Nothing worse in games than having friends over to play a new game, and having to unlock everything…

thats just way too much, I’ll pass.
Cool.
what about keyboards? anyone ever been in a real band? I have.
Okay, I’ll take this one. Ehem… LEARN THE REAL INSTRUMENTS– if you’re already investing that kind of money on toy instruments, you ‘d be better off investing that money in real instruments and taking lessons to learn how a skill that won’t be outdated by the next sequel or game system.
Alright, that’s enough
Rock band is better
rock band IS better.
@ OldBloodAndGuts
stole the words from my mouth…
Rock Band is still better, All this company is doing is ripping everything off from Harmonix.
I’m 100% sure Rock Band 3 or whatever will blow the pants off of GH:WT2, I can’t believe they are bringing out another one already… didn’t this one come out like 6months ago?
meh… not interested.
FU ACTIVISION!
