This can be attributed to several factors, such as the fact that Joe Perry's riffs are melodic and less complicated than GHIII's insanely difficult and often dissonant solos. The big difference as to how this version plays compared with the last game is that GH: Aerosmith is easier. Money earned in Career mode can be used to unlock songs, outfits, additional characters, and videos. The more stars you get, the more cash you'll earn. You'll want a high score not only because of the online leaderboards, but also because that's what determines your star rating at the end of each song. Doing so makes you look super cool and increases your score multiplier. Once the meter is at least half full, it can be activated by tilting the guitar upward. Certain song sections are highlighted and will fill your star power meter if played correctly. If you miss notes, you'll lose those multipliers, deplete your rock meter, and eventually fail the song. If your timing's consistently right, you'll go on streaks and earn score multipliers. When they reach the bottom, you press the proper fret button(s) and strum. Colored circles that correspond to the guitar's five fret buttons move downward along the onscreen guitar neck. It shouldn't be any surprise that it plays almost exactly like previous Guitar Hero games. Hammer-ons and pull-offs seem to be a little easier this time around. The official controller from Guitar Hero III works with the game, so hopefully you won't need to shell out extra cash if you've got a guitar or two lying around. The guitar is essentially the same Gibson Les Paul that came with Guitar Hero III, only now it comes with an Aerosmith-themed faceplate. There are two versions of GH: Aerosmith available: One includes just the game, while the other contains a wireless guitar, some stickers, and the game.

Even dedicated fans of the group may have trouble rationalizing paying full price for just 41 songs, but while GH: Aerosmith is a little short on content, it's plenty of fun. If you don't like Aerosmith, you will not like this game. For those of you who are pressed for time-or simply hate to read-here's an abridged review of the latest Guitar Hero: If you like Aerosmith, you'll like this game.
