The new wave of rhythm based games, that have become so popular as of late, are great. I am a huge fan of Guitar Hero, and even more of a fan of Rock Band. I have spent countless hours shreddin with that little plastic guitar. At first it felt ridiculous, but as time went by it became an all out addiction. I now play these games regularly... nearly every Friday night in fact. They are just the perfect game for "get-togethers", or parties. Guitar Hero III debuted on October 28th of last year. It was a solid game, that introduced a couple questionable features. Overall I have had a lot of fun with it though, and continue to do so.

Now they are going to release another Guitar Hero game. The game is titled "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith". It is titled this because the game is 100% focused around Aerosmith. The avatars used in the game are now the band members of Aerosmith. Steven Tyler is featured as the singer of course. And yes, even the virtual Tyler's mouth is still big enough to consume a basketball. It looks like the game will not consist entirely of Aerosmith songs though, the split should be about 60-40 in Aerosmith's favor. This is a pleasant surprise.

I have a couple issues with this game so far:

1. Why is Activision releasing another totally seperate title from Guitar Hero III this early? The game is still selling great. Why not release some GOOD DLC for starters? They must realize that Rock Band has totally taken advantage of this ability, and has made a ton of money from it.
   
2. Why waste an entire title on ONE BAND? Wouldn't it make more sense to appeal to more fans then just the fans of Aerosmith? Maybe a classic rock game, or 90's game would have more success. Perhaps Aerosmith can make an appearance... or maybe even Aerosmith and another band as well. I understand that it might take more time to develop a game like that... but Activision has plenty of time. No one needs another game yet... just give us some good DLC dammit!
3. Why waste time with Aerosmith? LED F$%@KIN ZEPPELIN!!!!! Spend whatever money it takes and make Guitar Hero: Led Zeppelin

All in all, I may still end up buying this game. With the addition of music made by bands other than Aerosmith, and what seems to be an interesting career mode, I must admit I am intrigued.

1 more thing... looks like Guitar Hero: Van Halen is next... no joke.

WTF

-Look for Guitar Hero: Aerosmith in stores this June.
