Guide to Guitar Hero 5 on the PlayStation 3

Guitar Hero 5 is aging with grace on the PS3, which is something that loyal GH gamers should heave a sigh of relief about given that the franchise has had several installments from the past. After following up World Tour, the developers at Neversoft seem to be facing a dead-end for the franchise. How can you invite gamers to buy Guitar Hero 5 when there seems to be a general consensus that this will turn out to be the same old game with the same old mechanic with only the set list? Finding an answer to that is vital in order for gamers to be able to rationalize their decision to go grab a copy of this game.

So, instead of trying to beat their way through this dead-end, Neversoft decided to work its way around instead. Guitar Hero 5 will still sport the same gameplay mechanics with key new features but with a more distinctive approach towards the social gaming experience. This is a tricky situation to be in, given that World Tour was a massive franchise release. Guitar Hero 5 has to deliver something clever, not just new for old time fans. The social gaming approach at Guitar Hero 5 suits well with some of the new gameplay additions such as new mechanics and a few competitive multiplayer modes.

The general gameplay for Guitar Hero 5 is therefore catered to deliver a group-friendly experience for you and your friends. This will serve as the perfect opportunity to form your own band, even if just for a day, turning your living room into a concert venue. It is going to be more fun than you think! So, the adjustments and refinements done for Guitar Hero 5 adds flexibility into your game choices to give the game more appeal.

It kicks off with the new mode and the heart of Guitar Hero 5 which is called Party Play. This was intended mainly to make adjustments from previous iteration wherein a few stumbling blocks were taken note of. First off, gamers were subjected to navigating several set of menus before they can actually get started playing, which really breaks the momentum and the thrill of the experience. Now, you can think less of the complexity you have to go through before you can play a song and just move onto it to start having fun with your friends. It works like a jukebox that allows you to cycle through all songs available in the game and with a specific button hit, you can get on with it. This feature is available for Guitar Hero 5, whether you are playing alone or with a bunch of friends.

Another intuitive feature of the new Party Play mode in Guitar Hero 5 is the ability to adjust the instrument setups. That way, it suits the specific song that is currently playing instead of being forced with the generic setup. Now, you can choose your own instrument setup, whether its guitar-bass-drum-mic! You are limited to up to four peripherals at one time though for Guitar Hero 5.

Aside from Party Play, Guitar Hero 5 offers a staggering amount of game mode choices that also offer the same liberty in the approach to use with the peripheral combinations in use. The standard Career Mode is playable in Guitar Hero 5, which does not offer the restriction of creating a single character and sticking with them to follow their “career”. The Career Mode in Guitar Hero 5 is more innovative as it offers you a broader range of career choices, whether it be establishing your own solo career or venturing into becoming the frontman of a four-guitar band.

Momentum is another exciting mode in Guitar Hero 5 that allows the difficulty level to change in an instant, depending on how well you are playing. Obviously, it is your goal to remain consistently on the expert difficulty level so you can get the most number of points. After all, it would be shameful for you to be flashed with an easy note on the screen with all your friends on standby.

Other playable modes in Guitar Hero 5 include Elimination, Perfectionist, Do-or-Die, and Steakers. As the name implies, Elimination forces the worst player out of competition if they keep missing on their notes. Perfectionist requires you to precisely hit your points since you are scored based on individual parts of a song. In Do-or-Die, players are subjected to a brief mandatory timeout if they scored successive note misses. Lastly, Streakers reward gamers who are excellent enough to score 10 consecutive perfect notes.

The multiplayer experience is another major area of focus in Guitar Hero 5, most notably its new mode dubbed as RockFest. This is basically a collection of competitive modes that allows support for a maximum of eight players. This feature is not seen in previous GH games, which is really an exciting opportunity for gamers to sample. In this mode for Guitar Hero 5, gamers can play together using the same instrument and compete in various modes. With the competitiveness of this mode, gamers on top of the spot would certainly have difficulty defending their spot from other wannabes.

Band Moments is an exciting feature in Guitar Hero 5 that is triggered when all members of the band does well together. Whenever your band manages to put up a successful run on flaming notes, you will find your score has tripled and it activates a pyrotechnics show onstage that shows exactly how great your band is. On the flipside, there is Guitar Hero 5's Revival Meter. Whenever one member of the band fails, it is up to the rest of the members to pick up the pace. Your ability to do so is critical in ensuring that the dropped out band member is able to go back in. The key here is for all members to do good together, not just one or two.

How could a discussion on any Guitar Hero game ever end without talking about the list of songs available to play? The soundtrack for Guitar Hero 5 promises to be the most diverse that the franchise has ever seen. Some of the artists that were confirmed to make the lineup were Blink 182, Band of Horses, Bush, Iron Maiden, Blur, KISS, Darkest Hour, and Wild Cherry. In addition to these classic rock choices, Guitar Hero 5 might pull off some surprises as well with funky music from the 70's and a whole lot more you would have never expected from the game. Aside from a wealthy list of songs available on the go, more tunes will be available soon at the game's music store to keep your list continually fresh.

Guitar Hero 5 does not revolutionize nor does it veer away too much from the tradition of the franchise. With a nice set of options and a stronger emphasis on rhythm video gaming as a social experience, Guitar Hero 5 makes its voice heard.
