In an attempt to curb the holiday sales of Lego Rock Band, the makers of Guitar Hero announced the release of Guitar Hero: Super Hero Edition. No time was wasted after the announcement earlier this week that the popular toy brand, Lego, would be forming a partnership with the makers of Rock Band. Guitar Hero: Super Hero Edition was announced with no forewarning and was a pleasant surprise for industry representatives:

"No one had any idea this was coming, " said industry insider Matt Combs, "They surprised us all. However there is no denying that this one will be more kick ass than any that have come before."

Early press releases have revealed that the players will be able to shred using many of your favorite super heroes including Hulk, Mr. Stretch, and Thor. The release also indicated that each character will each have unique special powers.

"When a player uses Mr. Stretch they will be able to enter into Stretch mode in which multiple instruments can be played. As for the Hulk, the player can enter into RageShred mode where you can barrel your way through the crowd tossing fans every which way all while jamming away." Mr. Combs added.

In addition to abilities, the makers promised a massive and "epic" increase of scale.

"Players will be able to duel classic super villains for supremacy of the world. Depending on where you are in your super hero career you will be able to play in front of whole countries or even all of Earth. You can even expand your popularity to other planets if you'd like."
