Climbing Aerosmith's career, guitar-controller in hand, from clubs to stadiums, chaining frenzied solos: this stand-alone honours the band with infectious energy. Feeling a perfect run of notes galvanises, especially before a roaring virtual crowd. With several players, you form a band and the fun climbs.

Is Guitar Hero - Aerosmith still worth playing in 2026?
A Guitar Hero spin-off entirely dedicated to Aerosmith, this Neversoft title traces the band's career through its emblematic songs, interspersed with a few tracks by artists who influenced them. The musical fidelity, the pleasure of strumming the riffs on the plastic guitar and the concert staging delight fans. The dependency on the dedicated instrument and a single band tracklist restrict the appeal. A title for Aerosmith devotees and fans of guitar rhythm games.
