Advantages: New songs to play

Disadvantages: The songs aren't that good

As an idea, this is brilliant, massive guitar based game coupled with international rock band, what could go wrong. Well you could choose the wrong rock band for a start.

This game plays like Guitar Hero, so that bit isn't the problem, the problem is Aerosmith you either known them from the 70's or their new found success in the 90's, the trouble is there's a lot of songs from the 80's in here which will appeal only to real fans of the band.

The style of music doesn't instantly lend itself to them game, there's a distinct shortage of really good guitar solos and the fact a lot of the songs wont be familiar just make this a lot less fun than the idea suggests it would be.

There presentation is ok with videos from the band etc, but even then, other than Tyler, they are hardly the most exciting people in the world.

If you want a guitar hero + band game then get Metallica.

Reasons to buy this game, you're either a huge fan of the band or you have found the game on sale for a tenner.

Summary: Buy it if you're a fan or find it very cheap
