   Of course the music itself is the most important aspect and the soundtrack of Warriors of Rock is very, very good. Whether you agree or not has everything to do with if you like the same sort of music as me. Four and a half stars. Read more

   This one’s a bit different, eh?  Music games in general, and Guitar Hero in particular, have been making a point of becoming more multiplayer friendly, and more appealing to casual players.  GH:WoR doesn’t mess about with an easily accessible setlist and default party mode, oh no , this one’s about the campaign .  Yes, in a rhythm game.  Yes, I said “campaign.”  It really is the word that best fits, just pipping the game’s own term for it, “Quest,” by virtue of being...

   Closing Comments Ultimately, that last point summarizes the most damning thing about Warriors of Rock - a lack of any compelling reason to exist. Neversoft placed the lion’s share of their eggs in the Quest mode’s metal themed basket, and it buckles under the pressure. From a technical standpoint, Warriors of Rock works, but existentially, more than ever, Guitar Hero feels aimless. Read more

   It's a scary world for music games in 2010. Last year, publishers went for broke with release after release - Activision in particular pushed out Guitar Hero: Metallica, Guitar Hero 5, Guitar Hero: Smash Hits, Band Hero, and Guitar Hero: Van Halen - and audiences largely stayed at home. This year, Activision has curbed Guitar Hero's touring schedule to just one game: Warriors of Rock. Read more

   And finally, if your stable of plastic rock instruments is looking a bit worse for wear, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock comes in a bundle with a new modular guitar that comes with detachable body pieces. Though the pieces don't feel as solid as previous iterations of the hardware, it's fun to make your figurative axe look like a literal one. Unfortunately, the guitar and the game retail for $99.99, with the game alone going for $59.99. Read more

   • Satisfyingly large setlist, Challenges offer plenty to strive for, Same great variety of gameplay modes as Guitar Hero 5.

   The tracklist on GH: Warriors of Rock is probably the best since GH2 and GH3, with a lot of great rock and metal. Fans of the older games who didn't enjoy the more varied tracklists of GH5 and GHWT as much will find a lot to like about GH:WOR. And as a big Megadeth fan, it was brilliant to see 3 great Megadeth tracks (including one fantastic new track written exclusively for the game) included. And Scumbag Blues, now that was a highlight too. Read more
