Everyday I wake up and there's no new Guitar Hero games.

Every day I wake up heartbroken.

Having the kind of morning where I'm thinking about investing in a Dance Dance Revolution game for an old system I own and a Band Hero set just to play the games I barely missed as a teenager but would've loved to play

Why did they send the whole band to space

[fresh-artisan-bread]

hai!! ive been playing guitar hero recently and i thought id ask for ur guitar hero edition recs from one izzy sparks fan to another!! ^-^

Hm.. if you mean guitar hero games, I’d really recommend guitar hero 5 or warriors of rock! The graphics are really pretty and some of the set list tends to genres other than metal. Of course if you have larger interest to the pop genre I’d say Band Hero because the graphics are still pretty and the story’s really cute!! (Hopefully game recs is what you meant 🥲).

You can literally find them on eBay for around 9 dollars (and at cash converters)

GHRB Media Log - Band Hero

Band Hero, Guitar Hero's spin-off not a spin-off which released 2 months after Guitar Hero 5 and uses GH5's engine. This game's name is weird as fuck, as it's not really a spin-off at all, and every game after GH3had full band (Guitar, Bass, Drums, Vocals) support anyway due to Rock Band releasing. Instead of using the typical Metal and Rock theming the Guitar Hero series had, they went with Pop music. I think it's quite a fun choice and is a decent change of pace music wise.

The career mode is set up just like every other non-artist Guitar Hero game, you are a band, do gigs, get fans. This game has a pretty decent artstyle for its career mode cutscenes, and it is kinda insane. You go from small town mall venue, to major pop awards, to FUCKING SPACE. Nothing bad about it, I think it works well enough and is basically identical to how career mode is set up in World Tour and 5. 5/BH introduced a challenge system when doing career mode, where if you're playing a specific instrument, you can get a special reward if you do their little challenge. For example, if you're playing bass on a specific song, if you hit a few hundred notes with up strumming you'll get a special bass. Van Halen (and I assume WT and Metallica) has a similar thing where you get rewards based on what you play, but career mode is based on what instrument you're playing, rather then having it on specific songs. You can play through the entirety of career mode with just one instrument, it's all just bonuses, and things like special characters are related to playing the gig rather then instruments.

A big thing this game has (well, 3, WT, and 5 also did this) is special guest characters/bands that are actual real life people! The fun part about it in this game is rather then it being iconic guitarists (Like Slash and Ozzy), it's pop artists that were popular at the time! Mainly it's the entirety of No Doubt (including Gwen Stefani), Taylor Swift (this was 2009, so her original popularity), and Adam Levine (the guy from Maroon 5). I personally think this is the game with the best special guests just because there's something really funny about having these characters singing Metallica and the like.

The setlist is pretty good out of what they chose. Fascination by Alphabeat, YMCA by The Village People, Whip It by Devo, Take What You Take by Lily Allen, just to name a few I specifically like. The game has, according to it's box, 65 songs on disk. It also has Bring Me to Life by Evanescence which is certainly a choice for this game, but it's a good song so I don't care. From what I remember hearing about this game's development, this game came from Neversoft wanting to do more music then just the typical genres Guitar Hero did, so there's a lot of weird but very good choices.

The game is entirely compatible with GH5's DLC (and for the most part backwards compatible with World Tour's DLC) so that means GH5 got pop DLC but it also means you can play a lot of weird songs in Band Hero, like Avenge Sevenfold and Metallica which don't fit the game's theme even a little. We got Owl City - Fireflies as DLC so I'm happy about that.

Something really funny to me, is that this game has sponsors. There's just random products sprinkled around the venues if you look for them. You'll just randomly see things like Coca-cola in the background. Which I only noticed, because I saw Sponsored By; Coca-Cola when I was watching the credits.

When I got to the later parts of the game, the game was struggling to run smoothly. I don't know if it was my computer/capture card messing up or my ps3 messing up or just general bad optimization but it was a struggle running any song on the space venue. Which sucks, because it is easily one of the best in the entire series. From what I've heard also, a sequel was meant to be made but never happened (most likely due to the general failure of Warriors of Rock) which sucks because a second Band Hero would have been amazing.

I give this game a 8/10 maybe 8.5/10. The Wii version is barely playable, and I mean just barely a consistent playable framerate that dips a lot, with freezes all the time, on top of just looking terrible on there. The Wii version did have interconnectivity with the DS port (which I don't have) but I don't think that's nowhere enough to redeem that version of the game. PS3 was fine for the most part and looked pretty good overall.

I may be a fan of Project Diva, but I need to remember my roots (Lego Rock Band and Band Hero)

Very much inspired by this !!

Phantasm crashed into the side of a building, the rest of his team- the TeenTitans- stayed back. They were otherwise occupied, with the rest of the H.I.V.E. five attacking them.

They'd gotten a new member, one with a similar, nearly identical power set of their own new member.

Phantom.

Phantasm and Phantom, two mirror look alikes, they went absolutely feral whenever one was in sight. It was driving Robin mad, Beast Boy had joked about cloning but after they started to actually consider that option.

"Well, well, well." Phantom mocks, glowing green to Phantasm's red.

"Shut. The fuck. Up." Phantasm charges again, throwing the other into windows with a growl.

They kept bickering, hitting and injuring each other, until—

"Stop being so annoying!" Phantasm shouts, baring his fangs. Phantom, in return, stuck his tongue out.

"You're just jealous I got the Villain role!!"

At this point, their respective teams had called a draw and watched them fighting.

"You're a lousy villain!"

"I'm having the time of my life beating the shit out of you actually."

"I'm calling jazz."

At that, Phantom starts glaring. "I thought we agreed on not bringing this up to our sister?"
