Circuit City has your first Guitar Hero Aerosmith details.
Jaren Face | 8:53 PM on 03.06.2008 12 comments




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.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

That game is 60 bucks too much.

Jesus christ he looks like he's in pain even in a video game. Someone please put Steven Tyler out of his misery or by god I'll do it myself.

Honestly, I'd rather sing RUN DMC, than play guitar on that song and the 60 dollar price tag is going to scare a lot of people off.

After the way they failed on rockin' the 80's I doubt anyone will do anything other then pirate the hell out of that.

I'm not taking this one. As much as I like Aerosmith, this idea will run aground quickly in practice. I don't like Aerosmith THAT much.
Clockwork's Destructoid Blog
Ugh, this idea is not a good one.

I already dropped the money on Rocks the 80's and I was VERY dissapointed.

$40 would be the perfect price for this.

I have lost just about all faith in Guitar Hero...
Knives's Destructoid Blog
Probably won't get, I haven't even played the last 2 free songs that were DLC on GH3.

I’m not giving Activision any more of my money. But thanks for the info, because you just confirmed that for me. By the way, not to be a dick, but the phrase is “pique” your interest, not “peak”.
