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
