Guitar Hero Modern Hits

Platform: Nintendo DS

Rating: Everyone 10+

Content descriptors: Lyrics

Rating summary: This is a music and rhythm simulation game in which players can perform songs on a guitar. Players follow on-screen prompts to hit notes in-time with the music and are scored based on their accuracy. Some song lyrics contain references to violence, (e.g., “drop dead a bullet to my head”), alcohol (e.g., “turn the rich into wine” and “we stole and drank champagne”), and suggestive content (e.g., “if your body matches what your eyes can do”).

Geez. So I have to ask... how many more iterations will it take before the series goes the way of Tony Hawk?

3

arent there already more GH games then TH?

[vudu]

No.  There are 8 games in the GH series and 10 in the TH series.  Give it a couple months and they'll catch up.

[EasyCure]

Wow i didn't realize there were so many Hawk games. I think I didn't count the portable titles.

The one that currently has Guitar Hero World Tour in the top ten of the NPD.

Oh, I see. So the question is, "when will people as a whole get sick of it?" That is an interesting question. Guess it depends on how fast they keep pumping them out.

I think they are shooting themselves in the foot releasing so many Guitar Hero games. Seriously, do we need a new one? We have had two already in a year. I never bought the first two either because I don't think the setlists in both games were any good. To each their own I guess.

Nintendo Power had a short article about this, and listed some of the confirmed songs:

Wolfmother - Dimension
Coldplay - Violet Hill
Lenny Kravitz - Where are we Runnin'

Evanescence - Sweet Sacrifice
The Strokes - Reptilia
The Bravery - Unconditional

Fall Out Boy - This Ain't a Scene, it's an Arms Race
Wheezer - Everybody Get Dangerous
The Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby

The 12 Stones - Adrenaline
Tenacious D - The Metal
Atreyu - Falling Down

I don't see why they can't make these games without including a handful of songs from previous Guitar Hero games. It didn't bother me at first, but you'd think "Modern Hits" would limit itself to songs that came out after Guitar Hero 3. Aside from the somewhat intriguing idea of playing an Evanescence song in a GH game, I'm not too really impressed.

Yuck, aren't some of those songs already on console Guitar Hero and/or Rock Band games talk about down and dirty money making schemes.
