Concept:
In this new Guitar Hero game, join up with your bandmates to form the ultimate super group and rock your way to the top.
Shred on lead, rhythm, or bass guitar, rip on drums, or belt it out on the mic as you rock together on the greatest classic, modern, alternative, pop, and metal hits. Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, Korn, System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, Interpol, Muse, and dozens more come together to form the coolest set list ever. Then take it to a whole new level by jumping into a fully-integrated recording studio to lay down, upload, and share custom tracks - for virtually unlimited rock.
Create your own tracks or jam freely over hit tracks from the game. This game features the most authentic instrument peripherals on the market including an all-new wireless guitar controller with the first-ever touch-sensitive neck slide, killer wireless drums with quiet pads and raised cymbals, and a microphone to become the ultimate frontman. This new Guitar Hero game lets you rock together and rock for all.
