Guitar Hero 5

Reviewed by Jason Venter (September 20, 2009)

Unless you're the sort that isn't happy with anything but indie music, Guitar Hero 5 probably has more than a few selections that will appeal to your inner rock star. Some of the bands appearing here are new arrivals and some aren't, yet the songs included feel so perfect that I could scarcely believe they hadn't already been claimed by previous installments in the series. Even when I didn't recognize a title, I'd begin playing it and suddenly I'd remember it from the many times I heard and liked it on the radio. Artists represented include Sublime, Kings of Leon, Megadeath, Bush, Johnny Cash, Rammstein, Kiss, The Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage and Nirvana, just to name a few.
