Product Description
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is built around the legendary music of America's Greatest Rock `N Roll Band: Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer. This game puts players in the shoes of Perry (guitar), Whitford (guitar) and Hamilton (bass), as they rock out alongside frontman Tyler and drummer Kramer. Gamers will experience Aerosmith's Grammy winning career, from their first gig to becoming rock royalty, in a way that no other entertainment vehicle offers. As fans progress through their careers in the game, they can rock out to scores of Aerosmith's greatest hits, as well as songs from celebrated artists that the band has either performed with or has been inspired by in some way. Venues from historical moments during the band's illustrious career offer the experience of 'sweet emotion' and further capture the essence of the band's rise to fame.

A SOLID RENTAL...AN OWNER ONLY FOR HARDCORE FANS, July 3 2008
By M. Grant "MacGyver of the Books" - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Guitar Hero Aerosmith Walk This Way (Video Game)
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is probably a 5-star game if you're a huge fan!I'm not, so I rented the game and enjoyed it enough to give it 3-stars. It's essentially the same game (with same tutorial) as Guitar Hero 3. The key differences are: 1) the song selection is much shorter, 2) the song difficulty is much easier...maybe Joe Perry's not the axe-master I always thought he was.
The graphics are fun, they got Steven Tyler's mouth and wardrobe changes down perfectly. During load time there's interviews with the entire band that gives some fun insights into the progression of their career. However, I was shocked that some key Aerosmith hits like "Angel", "Dude Looks Like a Lady", "Janie's Got a Gun", and "Don't Want to Miss a Thing" weren't on the play list. I know some people might comment that they're ballads or too slow and easy to play. Who cares! I'd rather have some easy songs and have the full run of Aerosmith hits than to have 40 songs in total (especially for those paying $60). When you make a game based on a rock group...give us as much of their collection as possible! The game should at least cover the "greatest hits".
A minor annoyance with the entire GH series is dealing with the achievements on the Xbox 360. In Guitar Hero 3 a majority of the achievements are so impossibly hard to get you'd need to be Yngwie Malmsteen to even come close. However, in GH:A I managed to unlock 5 all on one song (when I wasn't even trying). Not sure if the game makers are treating achievements like a joke or what, but I know many gamers use these as a goal to work towards. So for future games it would be nice if some form of balance can be struck and an achievement can manage to be both challenging and obtainable all at the same time.
I still want to give props to the GH franchise for doing a band-centric game. Heck, any game that opens with Cheap Trick's "Dream Police" can't be bad! Hopefully the Young Brothers will open up the AC/DC catalog for a future version. Actually, I'm surprised that the money-making franchise formerly known as "Gene Simmons" doesn't already have a KISS game in the pipes.
Oh well, if you're jonesing for some guitar playing fun then GH:A should keep you entertained for at least 3-7 days. But a full purchase is probably not necessary.

Aerosmith flavored Guitar Hero that doesn't offer much, Jun 30 2008
By N. Durham "Big Evil" - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Guitar Hero Aerosmith Walk This Way (Video Game)
Since Activision and Neversoft took control of the Guitar Hero franchise, we've been getting a steady stream of sequels and spin-off's, with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith being the latest game in the series. Featuring a pretty good collection of songs spanning Aerosmith's long career, you'll find that besides adding the Aerosmith-themed presentation, the game itself is basically identical to Guitar Hero III. This isn't really a bad thing, but considering this is a full-priced game, it would have been nice if there would have been a little more overall variations. The track list here is quite good though, with even some bonus tracks from Joe Perry's Joe Perry Project to find and play too, along with some bonus interviews with the band. Where the game falters however is that there isn't going to be any downloadable content, meaning that once you get through the game, there isn't much reason to go back to it. Getting through the game isn't that much of a challenge either if you're a Guitar Hero veteran, as the game proves to be not all that difficult compared to previous Guitar Hero games. It should also go without saying that if you aren't a fan of Aerosmith, this probably isn't for you. All in all, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is an enjoyable diversion that fans of the band will get a lot of enjoyment out of for a while, but in the end, the game doesn't offer enough bang for your buck.

Try it before you buy it!, Jun 30 2008
By Brandi "bwiggs" - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Guitar Hero Aerosmith Walk This Way (Video Game)
Rent the game first, and see for yourself. I was very disappointed. The vault, was almost bare! Too few songs, and Walk This Way had the two versions. With as few songs as there was on the game, there should not have been a duplicate, with or with out the slight variation. There are so many amazing songs that could have been put on this game! I played for two hours, got tired and went back to Guitar Hero 3.But, the Steven Tyler graphics were great! I loved watching the band while others played!
Listmania!
