I'm actually NOT looking forward to this, and in reality I'm dreading its release.

Instead of taking the long lasting route that Harmonix took with Rock Band (DLC out the ass) they're just pumping out a brand new game every few months. While I certainly enjoy the concept on paper (and slightly in practice; I loved GH:Metallica) they're ending up with so little that's worth paying money for that they're going to screw themselves over.

With Harmonix, if there's a track I really want, it's 160 points and it's mine. With Guitar Hero, they have a handful of DLC tracks and then the rest of the tracks I really want are $60, with a bunch of extra crap thrown in.

To top it off, the curse of rhythm games is that they steal each other's tracks. A quarter to half the tracks in GH: Smash Hits is DLC for Rock Band, and I could easily get THE track I want, forgoing the other 40 that I don't. So far Guitar Hero 5's announced tracklist has only a few tracks available in another game, but the tracklist so far is nothing I'd pay money for. There are a few songs I very VERY much would like to have, but I'd much rather have them be DLC, which is something I'd get out of Harmonix.

I found that the gameplay bench actually ran worse than the stress test.

And their description of the "scariest" bosses ever is lacking. They were terrible. Even the crappy endboss from RE4 is better than any RE5 boss. They were utterly tewwible!
