Guitar Hero 5

- GamePro Score
- User Score

Guitar Hero 5 by Activision for Xbox 360 is a rhythm game that, for the first time, allows players the opportunity to customize the make-up of their band by mixing and matching their favorite instruments, from the classic (two guitars, two vocalists) to the silly (four drummers, anyone?). The setlist offers master tracks from 85 bands, including Johnny Cash and the Rolling Stones. New features include Party Play (players can jump in or drop out of a jam session at will), RockFest (a series of competitive challenges online and head-to-head for hardcore fans), and the ability to play the entire setlist from the start, without the hassle of unlocking later tracks.
