14 DAY TRIAL // It hasn't been long since rumors regarding Guitar Hero IV hit the world wide web, and we have already some kind of a confirmation. Even though it's not GH4 and it doesn't feature the band that started the rumor, The Answer, it is definitely a new Guitar Hero game in the works and it features one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith allows players to experience the band's Grammy winning career, from their first gig to becoming rock legends. So will this game get some tiny, little RPG elements or the producers have just found a good way of showcasing the same product? Probably the latter, unfortunately.
Anyway, in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith fans progress through their careers in the game they can rock out to scores of Aerosmith's greatest hits, as well as songs from artists that the band has either performed with or has been inspired by in some way. Venues from historical moments during the band's illustrious career offer the experience of "sweet emotion" and further capture the essence of the band's rise to fame. So you should get ready to play some of the greatest hits this June, when the game is scheduled for release.
"We are extremely excited that Aerosmith chose to team up with Guitar Hero, bringing one of the world's all-time best-selling artists together with one of the biggest video game brands, to deliver a new and unique interactive way for our customers to connect with artists and their music," said Dusty Welch, head of publishing for Activision/RedOctane. "This partnership will give Aerosmith, a band that has sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, a powerful and innovative platform to reach their fans and new audiences."
It is unclear at the moment if we should still expect a Guitar Hero IV, or this game should be everything Activision has planned for this year. But we know that you can download Aerosmith's "Dream On" song from Xbox Marketplace or PlayStation Store, depending on your console. Of course, you need a copy of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.
