Let’s start this thing properly: the game sucks. Because a review would be more boring than watching Nex and Leigh make out with words, this review will partly be co-oped with Dtoid hero Yashoki.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (or GH:A) has a total of 31 songs in the campaign and 8 unlockable songs. The game is structured to follow Aerosmith’s rise to fame through a selection of sets, just like those in GH3 etc. Instead of having all songs available to play in any order you want, there are two songs that make up the opening act, followed by three Aerosmith songs that unlock in sequence. If you can’t pass one, you’re just stuck with having to replay it (on expert).

So Aerosmith is a pretty terrible band, if you didn’t know that fact already. All the songs sound about the same, and even worse: they play the same. It’s just one set of notes and they repeat it over and over again while you fall asleep with your controller on autopilot. This is worth discussing though.

ProfessorPew: Yashoki, what do you think of Aerosmith?
Yashoki: hate them
fuck them
and fuck that john guy with his big *black person's* mouth
fuck HIM
HIM is a shitty band too
>:/
ProfessorPew: how big is his mouth anyway?
Yashoki: big as your moms :3
ProfessorPew: oh shit, that's a huge mouth!
Yashoki: AW DANG
ProfessorPew: so you played GH1 a lot?
Yashoki: yes
it was fucking awesome
ProfessorPew: how much did you fail on expert?
Yashoki: I actually started on expert
Cause I play guitar in RL
:I
ProfessorPew: wtf
guitar *male of the non heterosexual persuasion*!
Yashoki: i get chix
all day erry day
ProfessorPew: wtf is chix
are those some kind of offline creatures?
Yashoki: yeh
ProfessorPew: do you think you'd get more of them if you played Aerosmith songs?
Yashoki: no i'd get *males of the non heterosexual persuasion who are not girls*
and possibly furries
ProfessorPew: not furries!
have you ever played GH2 or GH3?
Yashoki: i played two once
at my cousins
but Rockband was out by then so I didnt care
I like singing :3
ProfessorPew: wtf
Yashoki: doode
ProfessorPew: isn't singing for *males who like anal sex*?
Yashoki: Queens of the stone age
FUCK YEAH
ProfessorPew: that band sucks
Yashoki: Says you
you com from finland
where everyone is emo
OMG NO SUN GONNA CRY
ProfessorPew: That's true, fins are *goshdarn* emo
Yashoki: Go listen to go with the flo

ProfessorPew: i don't listen to bands
they piss me off
Yashoki: you listen to imogen heap right?

ProfessorPew: who? no
euro dance or nothing, baby!
Yashoki: boring generic
all the same
ump ump ump ump ump
ProfessorPew: like modern rock
Yashoki: DJ GAYBOY
YEAH
i dont listen to modern rock
ProfessorPew: ok :)
Yashoki: queens only counts since they got "popular"
which i'm not a fan of their more recent albums

ProfessorPew: so what if i told you that some songs are easy as hell and other songs are hard, followed by easy songs again?
in the campaign
does that sound like a good idea? or /whatever
Yashoki: huh?
ProfessorPew: like, in the older GH's, things start out easy and gradually get harder
and now they just put songs in at random
Yashoki: still ghey
ProfessorPew: agreed
so in rock band you can play songs in a set/tier at random
in GH:A you have 2 songs from not-Aerosmith as an opening act
and then 3 aerosmith songs
that all suck
so you'll have Lenny Kravitz in the fucking opening act of some gay Aerosmith song
ProfessorPew: focus mister!
Yashoki: yeah i dont care anymore
ProfessorPew: lol
Yashoki: I *the act of having sex* hate them/him
ProfessorPew: *not heterosexual*!
Yashoki: *make unromantic love to* this game
*make unromantic love to* it
but it'll sell
ProfessorPew: yeah :(
Yashoki: because parents see "OMG AEROSMITH?1 i LOVE THEM!"
ProfessorPew: all the songs are *mammal excrement*
haha
there should've been only one song in it
that armageddon piece of *poo* song
and it's not even in it!
Yashoki: LOL
ProfessorPew: just needs moar liv tyler
how do you make an aerosmith song without some unlockable liv tyler jailbait pics?
Yashoki: poon only plz
ProfessorPew: what would make it worth playing this shit for
do you know who Joe Perry is?
Yashoki: No
ProfessorPew: how *like George Takei* is he?
Yashoki: Listen i'm gonna take a shower :D
He sounds pretty *much like George Takei*
if his name is perry
ProfessorPew: think of him in the shower!
Yashoki: OKAY
ProfessorPew: good point
maybe he's related to matthew perry
that would explain a lot :P
HAVE FUN IN THE SHOWER

At that point I just started fapping to the image of Yashoki in the shower, ‘chix’ be damned.




Anyway, the game is really terrible. The difficulty Is all over the place so there’s not really any progression of difficulty whatsoever. The drummer looks like a rat. How did they get famous with a rat-faced drummer? All songs sound the same, for example: Love in an Elevator

No fun to play!

Run DMC have a grand total of two songs in the game. You might think that it’s cool that they are in it, but playing guitar in a rap song is very very boring. It’s just the same shit over and over again while you wait for the rap sections to finish. Lame!

One song that I know hate more than anything is Back in the Saddle. It has the whole bass+guitar notes thing that GH3 did, and you don’t even feel like you are playing the song. You just play the notes and try to ignore the music, because the music has nothing to do with what you are playing. I especially hate it because it’s the only song that made me die. Twice! The HOPO’s are all over the place, which is ridiculous because all the other songs before that are just stupidly simple or easy to do. Also: the only thing worse than having to replay an Aerosmtih song is having to replay it with an itch on your chin.
In the last set, there is a Boss Battle against Joe Perry. It scared me a little, because I remember Lou at the end of GH3. Thankfully, Perry sucks and you get easy weapons that kill him in a minute.



All in all, this game sucks. It has half the content of GH3 or Rock Band’s Guitar career. The only decent songs that Aerosmith made are not playable in the game. Instead, they are the names of achievements… Do not get this game! It’s not fun, the notes all suck and even if you are an Aerosmith fan, the game still sucks in terms of gameplay. The only good thing about it is that it has Lenny Kravitz feat. Slash – Always on the Run. The worst thing is that you have to play three Aerosmith songs afterwards..

Here are some songs that are better than what Aerosmith has made over the course of their lives:
