What happened???
I bashed Guitar Hero Aerosmith for my own selfish, biased reasons. This time around, I'll bash this game based on pure, clear-headed subjectivity.
So here we have my older brother's favorite band of all-time, paired with one of my favorite game franchises of all time time. Oh, the LOVE! Power button on. Hey, this presentation looks just like that of Guitar Hero Metallica! Not a bad thing in itself, but shouldn't it look more along the lines of Guitar Hero 5? Meh. Enough nitpicking.
Jeez........that's a lot of David Lee Roth........I guess Sammy Hagar didn't sell ANY albums for Van Halen.......wait a sec......why am I playing Stacy's Mom all of a sudden??? That's something I NEVER wanted to do, even in a virtual setting.......man....who the hades is this Wolfgang guy???....good thing this game came free with my pre order of GH 5.
This, folks, was my overall attitude and thoughts as I was playing this contrived disc. Van Halen, like them or not, were a commercial staple of Reagan-era rock and beyond. Guitar Hero could have done them magnificent justice with their own game. Sadly, they did not. Guess that's why they just handed out copies of it at no charge. Silly rabbits........
