Holy SHIT. After playing through all the games from the great guitar hero mediocrity wave of '09, I had middling hopes for this one. I had heard that the game was a fan-favorite for some reason, so I was cautiously excited and boy were the fans right. The setlist is full of bangers, the difficulty is there for the players that can take the heat (EXTREMELY REFRESHING AFTER PLAYING SO MANY BRAINDEAD EASY GAMES), there are power up mechanics so that even the newcomers can still clear songs, yet only the skilled will master them, and I think that's a really cool evolution from the whole pass/fail system that all previous games had done. There's even a story that, while simple, is actually there unlike a bunch of other GH and RB games just being more songlists than adventures. All in all, this is definitely a game on par with GH3 and that isn't something I say lightly. For a swansong of the series, they absolutely went all out.

This is it, the best Guitar Hero game in the entire series. As great as 3 was, this one just outshines it in every way. The overall tracklist is the best in the series, same goes for the story mode (the 2112 section of the game was P E A K ). I also liked the new characters, and how the characters would transform later on as well. They even brought back Dragonforce with 'Fury of the Storm.' What more can you ask for?

It doesn't get much better than this. What a great way for the series to end. (Reboot? What Reboot?)
