Forums - Gaming - IGN. Guitar Hero 5 Review.

9.0 Presentation
Neversoft stripped away a layer of annoyance in just about every area of the game.
8.0 Graphics
The animations are starting to show some life even if the art style still leaves room for improvement.
8.5 Sound
Better sound samples and good mixing. The track list is all over the place.
9.0 Gameplay
A few tweaks to the band play improve on the winning formula. Rock on.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
Challenges and new modes will keep you rocking. Importing tracks gives it even more value.

Great
OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

What? It scored nearly half a point lower than the Wii version and worse in graphics?



Kimi wa ne tashika ni ano toki watashi no soba ni ita

Itsudatte itsudatte itsudatte

Sugu yoko de waratteita

Nakushitemo torimodosu kimi wo

I will never leave you

Has someone played this? I wanna know if the sound quality sucks like in WT, if it sounds that bad I wont be getting it.

Improved from WT, better mixes.

But still doesn't take full advantage of surround sound.



 

I own all of lastgen systems as of October 2008. (Finally got a Dreamcast)

I own every currentgen system except PS3.

Lower graphic score than Wii version, and lower overall score?

Anyone know... why? Or is the reviewer to blame?

I guess its because Guitar Hero: World Tour to Guitar Hero 5 on the Wii was a greater leap in graphics then the 360/PS3.

Overall score was because of the included Roadie Battle, and Mii Freestyle being Wii Exclusive, and 360/PS3 features being used on the Wii. (Reading from an SD card, 8 player online, importing music, downloading packs, ect.)

The lower over-all score probably has to do with the Wii version having a few exclusives modes. The graphics score is easy to figure out. The Wii version looks better comparitively. You aren't trying to judge the two versions head to head graphically are you?

And impressive DS connectivity
