It's a fun game plus you get to learn more about the band as you play it

I love this game. I also like the feature they kept from GH3...being able to play guitar with the regular PS3 controller...since GameStop doesn't sell guitar controllers anymore. If you were a fan of GH3 and like Aerosmith...definitely pick up a copy of this game!

A Must Buy!!!!!!!! This is the best guitar hero ps3 gameplay!!!!!

I have never been much of an Aerosmith fan, and when I heard that Guitar Hero was coming out with an Aerosmith game I was very skeptical. The only real song that I knew from Aerosmith was "Dream On". For my birthday, I went to Best Buy and they had GH:A set up, career mode and everything. I grabbed a guitar and started playing, and at that moment I realized something: I LIKE THIS GAME. For someone who is decent on Hard mode, the game gave me quite the challenge, and I really liked the overall presentation of the game. Of course there should have been more songs, even if they weren't by Aerosmith, but that really doesn't change how fun the game can actually be. The biggest drawback of the game, for me, was the guitar that came with the bundle. Every so often I will be playing a song and I hold down a button and it doesn't register, or I'll be using the whammy bar and suddenly the entire chord goes out. As frustrating as that is, it still doesn't bother me that much. Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is a very fun game and while it may not be as challenging as GHIII, I am very happy with it. In fact, I welcomed the lowered difficulty, as hard on GHIII can feel like expert on GHII and I, for one, am unable to play on expert. So I will close this out by saying that if you want to try out some new songs and learn some interesting tidbits about one of America's greatest bands, get Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. If you don't, then that is fine. It's your loss.

Guitar Hero aerosmith was a big disappointment because of how short it was. There were about 20 less songs than on guitar hero 3. Also, there wasn't much variety. About 10 or 15 songs weren't Aerosmith songs. This game would be fun for someone that likes aerosmith a lot more than other bands. I wish they would've added more songs even if they weren't aerosmith. Guitar hero 3 seemed to me to be a lot more difficult. A lot of the guitar hero aerosmith songs were not difficult. Most of the things didn't change from guitar hero 3 to guitar hero aerosmith like the star power meter and the home menu was exactly the same except for colors. On this game there were exactly the same characters except for aerosmith members. At least in Guitar hero 3 there was a variety of characters.

Guitar Hero aerosmith is a great game, However I will agree that it does have a GH3 feel. The game is a lot shorter than GH3 but makes up for that with the kool interviews before you get to play at each new place. I noticed that Hammer ons and pull offs seem to be a bit harder to hit in this game than in GH3. The song selection is excellent (if your an aerosmith fan obviously). I thought it was definatly worth the buy. The interface is the exact same while playing as GH3. The unlockable characters are kool. I beat it on expert hours after getting it and thought the unlockable guitar was really kool looking. I heard there is no downloadable content comming out for it tho so it will get old fairly quickly :-(. Worth the buy if you have GH3 but i wouldnt buy this as my first guitar hero game.

While I'm a huge Aerosmith fan & am enjoying the game so far, I have a feeling that the novelty is going to wear off very quickly. The game plays exactly like GH3, hell they didn't even change the tutorial - it's identical. Even if they'd simply taken the same how-to and had Steven giving the instructions instead of "The God of Rock" I would've been satisfied with that, but Activision made that area very lame. Also, in order for this game to stay fresh we're going to need to see some bigtime DLC - how much they'll make available remains to be seen, but my feeling is that if they don't add additional content this game will go stale before it's predecessor GH3 does. One thing that is very cool about this game is the backstory videos that you get during the career mode - actual video footage of interviews with the band about their experiences through the years & some cool old photos packaged in. Interesting stuff for any Aerosmith fan.
