Guitar Hero 5 Partial Setlist & Modes Announced

by Demi Adejuyigbe on May 15, 2009 at 2:35 pm

Another day, another Guitar Hero story, but this one is sure to have some of the franchise’s fans excited. USA Today announced some brand new features for Guitar Hero 5(Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Wii) as well as a partial setlist featuring tracks by Tom Petty, White Stripes, Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Cash, Santana, and Vampire Weekend. Now, regardless of how you feel about the franchise, you’ve got to admit- that is a fantastic setlist.

USA Today also announced the brand-new Fest mode that allows people to battle at home or online for scores. As always, 4 can compete at home, but with the inclusion of online battles, 8 players in total can compete online, for “momentum points”. Another mode they detailed was Party Play, which lets you join songs, switch instruments, or change the difficulty level-mid-game. Activision’s creative director says that GH5 will have a lot more variety, with more indie artists, classic rock, and heavy metal.

Call me a hypocrite if you want, but if the setlist continues to be this great, and the features keep rocking, this might be the first GH game I’ve picked up since Guitar Hero 2 back in ‘06. Plus, Vampire Weekend! I’ve been asking for their songs since Rock Band came out, but I guess Activision beat Harmonix to the punch. Hit the jump for the partial setlist.

OXM Confirms 30 Guitar Hero World Tour Tracks

by Demi Adejuyigbe on August 13, 2008 at 8:47 pm

Hot off the heels of the leaked setlist that escaped onto the internet a week ago, a Guitar Hero community member leaked a picture of the latest issue of OXM, which confirms thirty of the songs that are indeed in the final version of Guitar Hero World Tour.

Not only does it list a wide variety of bands from Bob Seger to At The Drive-In, but it matches up almost perfectly with the leaked list from August 8th. If you look closely on the side, you can also see some of the venues that are in the game, including The House of Blues, Amoeba Records, an Aircraft Carrier, and an English Castle. Be on a look out for the next issue of OXM, where you should be able to see the full article, which goes into detail about some of the game’s features and venues.

Hit the jump for the confirmed setlist, as well as the leaked one from last week. Read more…
