This is a great game with lots of replay value. The song selection was excellent for anyone under the age of 30 (mostly newer songs, unlike past guitar hero games). Battle mode is really fun, but you have to be able to find someone who plays at the same level as you b/c sudden death mode is brutally unequal (thus unfair) if you're playing on hard/expert against someone on medium. The death drain in sudden death drops faster on hard/expert no matter what % you play compared to the other person. Aside from that, the only other complaint I'd have is that the hammer-ons/pull-offs are often in unnecessary places or not where they should be, making a song way more difficult than it should be (see Reptilia). Overall, a great game. Loads of fun and definitely worth the money!
What's great about it: Song list, replay value, gameplay
What's not so great: tier 7 and 8 songs are insanely difficult on expert
