After having played Guitar Hero II and III, I was expecting big things from this game. Unfortunately, it doesn't live up. First off, it was way too easy. I was able to complete all but two songs on medium with a five star rating the first time. In previous games, that would have never happened. Secondly, the playlist was just good. It wasn't anywhere near as good as I was hoping and the songs that weren't Aerosmith songs were disappointing. But at least they are coming out with World Tour so hopefully they will restore my faith in the Guitar Hero franchise.
What's great about it: Good playlist, interviews with Aerosmith

I'm not that great at gh games, but i was able to beat this game on expert with slight difficulty on maybe 3 songs. But overall, the songs were great and gh pulled off another winner.
What's great about it: great songs, not just aerosmith

Guitar Hero Aerosmith is great game, supposing you loved the previous Guitar Heroes, like most everyone did. Just be forewarned, there really is nothing but Aerosmith (excluding the remixes). I know this seems like an obvious point, but I've known a few people who didn't expect this for some reason, and were dissapointed. So remember, you get what you pay for. On a brighter note, this still has exciting Guitar Hero action that we've come to expect from the series. Easy playability for beginner players, and for more experienced shredders, absolutely insane finger tapping solos. Also, as an Aerosmith fan, it feels pretty darn good to rock out with Steve Tyler and the boys. So really, this game rides on the fact that you like Aerosmith, and you like Guitar Hero. If both of these are true, then you'll love this game. There is still one major issue for me that has remained from previous Guitar Hero games. Some of the hammers in the songs are insanely liberal. By this, I mean, there is a large margin of error to be able to hit the notes at the right time. During the more complicated portions of the pieces, I feel like I'm just hitting whatever frets I want to, and it counts as correct for the game. Having come from lots of Rock Band, this is a little bit dissapointing, since it doesn't help me improve. Though, it still kinda feels cool to get them all right. I would just prefer a system that was a little strict. All in all, a good game. Just know what you're buying when you buy it, and you'll be very happy.
What's great about it: Same Guitar Hero Action, New songs, good songs (if you like Aerosmith), easy to pick up and play, simple fun
What's not so great: Not much different than previous, still has same finger tapping issues

This particular game revolves around aerosmith. If you love aerosmith this game is for you. But if you don't like them this game will make you sick... It's still pretty entertaining though. The creaters did a good job I think!
What's great about it: Very fun to play and beat
What's not so great: Majority of songs are aerosmith or songs related to aerosmith

This game was basically an expansion to guitar hero 3. Almost exactly half of the songs are aerosmith songs. It was much easier than every other guitar hero, with a grand total of about 2 difficult songs.
The only important difference between this game and guitar hero 3 are the hammer-ons and pull-offs. They work the same way they did in gh2, where the hammer-on doesn't count if you hit the fret button too early.
Overall it's a pretty sweet game especially if you like aerosmith, however I don't think it's worth the money right now ($60). Wait for it to come down a bit.
What's great about it: new characters, guitars, songs, etc.

I think this game should have just been an aeorsmith expansion for guitar hero 3. Because I payed $60 for a game with not even half the songs as gh3 has.
What's great about it: same thing as guitar hero 3

Overall it was a good game. They should have made it so you can download new songs as in guitar hero 3 "legends of rock", because the song count is very few and playing the same old songs after awhile get very boring. The song difficulty was good. I wouldnt recommend this to my family or freinds though because they didnt do to great of a job on the game.
What's great about it: Had well known songs, challenging songs.
What's not so great: Not enough songs, Non downloadable content.
