14 DAY TRIAL // Music games are extremely popular these days, thanks to the huge support they get from the companies that are responsible for their development and publishing. Fans are also treated to a wide variety of tracks from which they can choose what to play according to their preferences.
One of the most highly anticipated titles is Guitar Hero 5, which is developed by Neversoft and published by Activision. Set to appear just before its Arch rival, The Beatles: Rock Band, the game has now received some new information about the tracks that will appear in it and about a brand-new peripheral that will make its appearance alongside it on September 1.
The new drum kit, which some might argue that it resembles a lot the Rock Band one, has one difference as opposed to the normal one, in terms of its cymbals. They now resemble their real-life counterparts and aren't just a quarter of the real ones.
In terms of the tracks available on the retail disc of the game, we already saw the complete list of bands a few weeks ago, and at the beginning of this one, we saw the first few tracks that will be included. Now, Activision has revealed some more high-profile songs, including some from Elton John, Kiss or Nirvana. Here is the list:
Attack! Attack! UK - "You And Me" Bon Jovi - "You Give Love A Bad Name" Darker My Love - "Blue Day" The Duke Spirit - "Send A Little Love Token" Elton John - "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" Face To Face - "Disconnected" Garbage - "Only Happy When It Rains" Kaiser Chiefs - "Never Miss A Beat" Kiss - "Shout It Out Loud" Love and Rockets - "Mirror People" My Morning Jacket - "One Big Holiday" Nirvana - "Lithium (Live)" The Police - "So Lonely" Rammstein – "Du Hast" The Rolling Stones - "Sympathy For The Devil" Sonic Youth - "Incinerate" Screaming Trees - "Nearly Lost You" Sublime - "What I Got" The Sword - "Maiden, Mother & Crone" Thin Lizzy - "Jailbreak" Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - "American Girl" The White Stripes - "Blue Orchid"
Overall, as always, it seems that the newest version of Guitar Hero will certainly have something for everyone.
