I started playign the guitar Hero series many years ago starting with Guitar Hero 2. I have to admit this is the best sequel yet. I picked up a bargin near christmas and bought the game and guitar for £48 pounds. Was money well invested. The tracklist is excellent, and this time actually contains quitea a few songs which i've heard before the game came out. When I first opened the box up, and saw the guitar, I felt it was a massive improvement over the old one. Aswell as it being wireless, it has a touch sensitve section on the neck of the guitar, which allows you to play certain notes in the game without strumming. It's a very nice feature, if somewhat hard to do. I like the way they have tried to had new features into this one, like the touch sensitve neck, although It doesn't detract from the gameplay I loved in the other ones at all. If you had asked me a while ago if I would recommend to get the game with the guitar I would have said yes, But now I feel the guitar is not worth it. The price has gone up considrably more since I bought it, and I have a feeling that you can still play the notes meant for the touch sensitve part, by normal strumming. The only differences are the looks, sensitive buttons and a slightly different standard button arangement. You can now activate star power just by pressing a button. Although I still don't use this as a find it difficult to press down there compared with just tilting the guitar. Also, one of the buttons on the guitar gets stuck every so often, which can be quite annoying. The game itself is very well made, keeping things from the other games which we all loved. The multiplayer is a bit of a let down compared to guitar Hero 3, but it does what it's meant to do.
If you loved the other Guitar Hero's, then this is one to get in my opinion .
