Just when I was ready to totally lambast the Guitar Hero franchise, Activision came out with an amazing that expanded on the franchise even more. So much so that there might not be that much they can improve on from here. It's not as big of a pain for somebody new to log on and play. It's easy get from game mode to game mode- you can even do it when you're in the middle of the game. The career mode feels more expansive with unlockable legends and you have over 80 songs by different artists that equal to one of the best song lists the game has had.

Now is the time for Activision to pull things back slightly. Especially with the release of Band Hero and DJ Hero. Things are starting to get increasingly murky and it's crucial not put too much out there for fans of the games to get sick of. Guitar Hero 5 had to be good. It was going up against The Beatles Rock Band.  Guitar Hero: Van Halen was available to all who purchased this and it was terrible. Now is really the time to make some killer downloadable content and really build on a version of the game. If you've grown sour of Guitar Hero or just never came to the party, this version could be the perfect place to start.
