"Anecdotal"
Neck in hand, the game unfurls a pantheon of rock hits, from the legendary riff to the monstrous solo, to be played note for note. Feeling the music come to life under your fingers delivers an unmatched exhilaration, as if on stage. This anthology selection, cut for the thrill, turned a whole generation into living-room rock stars.

"From the very first seconds"
This edition polishes the band experience with more flexible play, where you join and leave a song on the fly, and an eclectic, rousing music selection. Jamming with friends on varied hits delivers an instant festive pleasure. Colourful, fluid and fiercely convivial, a rhythm game that celebrates collective rock with contagious generosity.
An accomplished iteration of the series from Neversoft, Guitar Hero 5 polishes the multi instrument formula with the ability to join a session at any time, free instrument combinations and a particularly eclectic tracklist. The smoothness of the band experience, the generous content and the accessibility make it one of the high points of the branch. The reliance on dedicated instruments and the end of online support weigh today. An excellent musical party game for fans of band rhythm and evenings among friends.
