Why does Pandora look like a Teletubby? I'd be saying nothing new by mentioning the clear evidence of genre apathy having set in by this point - which can still be felt in it strongly to this day - or a setlist with almost a 1:1 ratio of songs that matter versus mid filler songs. Though perhaps I'd be treading some new ground by stating just how fucking UGLY this game is - given the era, they made the confounding decision to replace the charming highway designs with a plain jet black across all characters, along with EVERY venue being all washed-out and gross. And if you thought Guitar Hero World Tour's encore events were uneventful, ohh... just you wait and see these duds. But at the end of the day, it's that unmistakable Guitar Hero gameplay with a fairly smooth engine - and the songs that rip here really rip: Shout it Out Loud, Blue Orchid, Feel Good Inc., Sweating Bullets, Only Happy When it Rains, Ring of Fire, Sympathy for the Devil, Sex on Fire, Lithium, Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting), Jailbreak, Hungry Like the Wolf, Hurts So Good, Sultans of Swing, Runnin' Down a Dream, A-Punk, What I Got, Du Hast, Under Pressure, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Comedown, All the Pretty Faces, Kryptonite, Dancing with Myself, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Fame, Play That Funky Music, So Lonely, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Superstition, Woman From Tokyo, You Give Love a Bad Name... like Jesus Cristo the sheer POWER on display only for it to still be just "eh, pretty good". Shame they went with the shittier Zakk Wylde "Bring the Noise" instead of the infinitely superior Anthrax version that was on THPS2 :/
