Guitar Hero 5 Gets its own Axe

Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo July 15th, 2009 at 8:09 AM    


It should come as no surprise to anyone, but Activision has announced that Guitar Hero 5 will sport a brand new special edition Guitar.  The major upgrade to the guitar is that internal signaling has gone digital, which minimizes latency.  These means less missed notes.

Other upgrades include a color coded fret bar as well as sight reliefs at the top, middle and bottom of the neck.  Finally it's all finished off with a nice cherry red finish and white pick guard.  But really, do you need ANOTHER plastic accessory guitar after Guitar Hero 2, 3, World Tour and Rock Band 1 and 2 Accessories crowding your living room?  If you own all of those the answer is probably yes.

will guitar hero 5 support all the instruments that world tour does? And in the same fashion? Or is it just going to be for guitars?

It should support other instruments. I think guitar hero is now and forever BAND hero.

I was this || close to buying a GH:WT guitar after playing GH:Metallica, but after doing the rubber band tweak on my Rock Band guitar, I don't have that need anymore as I was able to finish All Nightmare Long on the expert setting.

The new tap bar sounds ok, but I still don't think I want to move my hands and all, plus I play with a pick.
