Hopefully they’ll lose a lot of money on this title and realise GH fans buy the games despite the games designers’ choice in music, not because of it.

I was initially introduced to Guitar hero only recently with Guitar Hero 3 – Legends of Rock and immediately fell in like with it. GH is one of the best and original franchises out there in my attitude.
So I bought GH Aerosmith with high hopes and was severely let down. I read previously that you should only buy this game if youre a huge fan of aerosmith. I ignored this advice thinking that £25 (ebay) was cheap for the amout of tracks on the game. The business is you HAVE to be a huge Aerosmith fan to delight in this game as only two of these tracks could possibly stand a chance being paid on a proper GH game as theyre just simply not excellent enough. All the GH tracks on GH3 are hand-picked mainly for their compatability with the nature of the game. Every record company wants their songs on the franchise as track sales on itunes for example always rocket after the relief of a game such as Guitar Hero. This alone means they can choose nearly any songs they want, hence the fantastic line up on GH. Seriously though, only ‘Dream Police’ by Cheap Ploy and Aerosmiths ‘Dream On’ warrant a few play-throughs and the end is available for download on GH3 anyways (and for a cycle was free).
The problem is that GH has chosen songs involving you in the chorus and the main tune, so you get the feeling that your in fact before a live audience the song which obviously is very satisfying. In GHA but, you play as Joe Perry, who likes to go off onto his well-known crazy riffs and you often find yourself button bashing loads of clarification coming your way, that have no correlation with the tune of the song atall. The problem is also greatly reduced which I thought would be excellent as I often struggled with the GH3 career on expert, but it just means that your tempted to choose a harder problem and miss half the clarification with no penalty, completely taking away the romance of going into practice mode to master some of the harder tracks.
I played the game owing to on hard (mostly to get the achievements to be honest) and felt on the whole completely let down.
Seriously, ONLY buy this if you are a DIE HARD Aerosmith fan or you will feel cheated by what could have been a fantastic way to arm out the run. I already have my copy back on ebay.
If you have bought this as your initially GH game, dont let it ruin your perception of the run as this game is definately the black sheep. I can say for sure that if this was to be the initially game in the GH run, it would never have grown to be the phenomenon and billion dollar game that it now is. I would far rather spend the money on export more tracks for GH3 on xbox live. GHA is like a crappy cheap spin off from a succesful franchise that will only sell because of the succes of the originals (and idiots like me who thought that Aerosmiths title of ‘the greatest rock band of all time’ was in the slightest bit honest) but you can be sure that it will sell, but be in your local blockbusters bargain bin by christmas. GHA is to GH3 what ‘Joey’ is to ‘Friends’
Verdict: One of the worst games I have EVER played (and ive played a lot)
Hope this helps

If you have gh3 dont bother export this game unless you are a hardcore aerosmith fan because you will be dissapointed. . There are only five sets to play adding up to 31 songs and a few more to unlock as you play the game. Which doesnt add up to a lot of before a live audience time compared to the last gh game (8 or 9 sets i reckon with plenty to download). With few of those songs bieng the hits you would expect. . dude looks like a lady? Crazy? Cryin? Janies got a gun? I dont want to miss a business? Jaded??? All NOT in the game as you would expect bieng some of their largest hits.
The motion captured performances of the band are the high top of the game for me, but its not enough to justify its price tag.
This for me is a cash in game, anyone who is excellent enough to play on normal or better will exact it within a few hours. Rent dont buy.

For die hard aerosmith fans, watch out. Though you may like the game and the band be warned that there are only 25 Aerosmith songs on the game ( 24 if your count the fact that “Walk This Way” is on twice – once with Run D MC, and once just Aerosmtih). Classics such as “Dude Looks Like a Lady”, “Falling in Like (Is Hard on the Knees), “The Other Side” are not on there.
Would it have been that hard to at least have built-in the 21 top 40 hits Aerosmtih had in the American charts? I don’t know that would have been a better way to document Aerosmith’s journey to rock gods.
