Circuit City has updated their product page for the upcoming spin off,
Guitar Hero Aerosmith.
The page lists the game for a disheartening, yet non-surprising,
$59.99 before taxes with a
06/30/08 release date. As well, game highlights include:
-Over 40 playable songs.
-At least 25 of those will come from Aerosmith themselves. They're all set to be the original masters or re-recordings of their hits.
-These songs include
Dream On, Make It, Mama Kin, and
Movin’ Out.
-The remaining songs were chosen by Aerosmith themselves. These tracks feature artists such as
Lenny Kravitz, The Black Crowes, Run DMC, and
Stone Temple Pilots.
-The Career mode has you playing venues that the band has played themselves throughout the years, including
Nipmuc High School, The Big Game Half-Time Show, Orpheum Theater, Russia, and
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
-Behind the Scenes Aerosmith videos.
-Online/Offline multiplayer including Co-op and Head-to-Head modes.
Does any of this new information peak your interests? Personally, I love the idea of different genres of music crossing over into the Guitar Hero/Rock Band franchises, so I'm stoked to see Run DMC here (even though that probably just means
Walk This Way, which is still awesome).
However, while I'm not surprised to see such a high selling price, it does rub me the wrong way. For essentially 40 tracks, asking $60 is a lot (considering how many songs are offered in the stand alone versions of GHIII/RB for the same price). Oh well, just as
Rocks the 80s, this gets a price-cut/sales price purchase.
$40 would be the perfect price for this.
