 Wait for the price to come down November 10, 2008
Unfortunately, this game fell well short of my expectations. I bought GH3 for my wife, and both of us loved it. So when this came out, we were really looking forward to it. But it quite honestly just isn't as fun.
Pros:
-Drums and vocals which allow for more people to join in on the action
-Features galore, creating your own character, mixing your own song, etc...
Cons:
-Song selection is focused more on slow-tempo items, which for us are not as fun to play. It's much more enjoyable to play "Cliffs of Dover" (GH3) than it is to play "Love Me 2 Times" (GHWT)
-As others have mentioned, you have to play a whole set instead of playing just a song or two
I think that it really comes down to your taste in music. GH2 and GH3 were more metal/punk, whereas this one tends to be more classic rock (it's not ALL classic rock, but it has more than its share). Also, the previous GH's each had a couple of songs that I dreaded playing, but this one has a larger proportion of terrible songs.
 Awesome November 7, 2008
Just one thing to say, this game is awesome, lots of fun, the new guitar design and buttons are a big plus.
The band mode and the bass mode are a great idea; lets you play with more friends at the same time.
Great internet compatibility too.
Boring & Dull for the Guitar November 4, 2008
I only purchased the game to play the guitar on the songs. I was disappointed with this guitar hero. After playing Guitar Hero III for the past year, the World Tour songs seem boring. The guitar parts aren't complicated even on hard level. It's like they tried to appeal to all the instruments by putting mediocre instrument parts to play. I was bored after the first hour. The game is called Guitar Hero and the guitar parts are barely existent. If you're looking for the whole kit, I would go with Rockband which has better songs and is overall more fun.
A Mix of Strengths and Weaknesses November 1, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Having played Rock Band and RB2 at a friend's house for some time, we were waiting with great anticipation for GHWT as our first rhythm game purchase. I have to say that my feelings about the game are mixed now that I have played it a bit. I like quite a few of the songs, and I like the bass guitar and lead guitar parts fine, although they do raise the difficulty level from previous GH titles.
My chief frustration with the game is its vocal part. It is MUCH more difficult than RB's vocal part, and I think the way that it scores vocal performance leaves very little room for error, even at the "easy" setting. The mix seems off in many songs, making it hard to hear well enough to sing correctly, and the "freestyle" parts can be very annoying when you know perfectly well that there isn't supposed to be any vocal track in that part of the song and you have to make up something just to fill up the empty space (honestly, RB's cowbell/tambourine part makes much more sense).
I'm not "hardcore" by any stretch of the imagination; I play guitar on medium at best and prefer to 100% on easy rather than struggle through a higher level. However, since I know a lot of guys out there buy band games with their families/girlfriends/wives in mind, it seems useful to point out that the women and casual gamers in your life will be MUCH happier singing along with your band in Rock Band than in GHWT. I feel that RB's approach to vocals is easier to follow and to hear, while GHWT's is overly precise even at low difficulty levels and makes for a very frustrated singer. I would sing RB songs until I lose my voice completely and have a blast the whole time, but I get angry with GHWT after just a few songs and switch back to playing bass instead. I think a casual gamer ought to be able to enjoy the game and do well on EASY, and that's just not the case with this title.
In short, the hardcore folks will love it, but those wanting a game for the whole family or for casual groups of friends might find RB2 the better choice.
This ROCKS! October 30, 2008

I am enjoying this one a lot. My guitars have beeng gather dust since I blazed through Aerosmith and this game has brought them back out to clutter the living room for an impromptu jam session. I have not yet messed around with the freestyle but enjoy all the new improvements that have been made as far as customization and gameplay. If you liked the rest you'll like this one. its the best so far.
