Rocking The Wii Way
Post Via amazon in Wii Games ReviewGuitar Hero Aerosmith Bundle
When it comes to music games, they've always shown their stuff very well for the PS3, Playstation 2, and Xbox 360. Unfortunately, where music games are the strengths of other video games systems, that sadly has been the weakness for the Nintendo Wii. After a pair of dissapoiments from Guitar Hero III, where gamers were having trouble hearing the songs they were jamming to in stereo sound, and with the recent release of Rock Band that unfortunately lacks in online gaming and downloading new songs to jam to and those extra tracks are set to be released as seperate game discs for the Wii starting in July. While die hard Guitar Hero fans are anxiously awaiting Guitar Hero IV, they now have a new chance to Walk This Wii-Way.
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for the Nintendo Wii, is the latest spin-off in the video game franchise. While the last spin-off, Guitar hero: Rocks The 80's was only available for the Playstation 2, this is the first spin-off available for the Wii. The game features many of Aerosmith's big hits from their 4 decades as Rock Gods. While you get to jam to most of the tracks from them including some of their classics like Back In The Saddle, Love In An Elevator, the 1987 hit Rag Doll, their standard signature song Dream On, as well as some of Steven Tyler and company with some of their lesser-known songs here including Make It, Uncle Salty and No Surprize. But, it isn't just Aerosmith alone with their tracks. Other artists have guest spots with their great songs that inspired Aerosmith including Cheap trick with Dream Police, Lenny Kravitz with Always On The Run, and Joan Jett&The Blackhearts with I Hate Myself For Loving You. The graphics look great and the gameplay really feels a bit more refreshing for Wii gamers than Rock Band because you can battle against others online, as well as play your way through career mode where you can unlock more songs to master with your guitar, and battle in co-op mode.
While sadly, I wish there could've been a bit more songs from Aerosmith's career to master like Crazy and I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing to play, when it comes down to the great music games for the Nintendo Wii, while gamers might feel more enthusiastic about Rock Band on the Wii, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is really a better buy for your money and to jam to great music with. While there are many fans anxiously awaiting to see what makes Guitar Hero IV develop, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is definitely one that strums into the way of Joe Perry's rifts and Aerosmith's hearts.
