Expanded online multiplayer game modes will also allow axe-shredders worldwide to compete head-to-head for true legendary rock status. While continuing to retain all the key features from their prior legendary performances, fresh downloadable content will be offered on multiple platforms, and players can now shred to a killer set list from many of the gnarliest rock songs ever recorded. Delivering more master tracks than ever before, strategic partnerships have been secured with all the major and independent music record labels and publishers to allow unrivaled access to their deep history of music catalogs, along with supplying artists' original recordings for even greater authenticity. The initial list of face-melting awesomeness includes: ? Paint It Black (by The Rolling Stones); ? Cherub Rock (by Smashing Pumpkins); ? Sabotage (by Beastie Boys); ? The Metal (by Tenacious D); ? My Name is Jonas (by Weezer); ? Knights of Cydonia (by Muse); ? Rock And Roll All Nite (as made famous by Kiss); ? School's Out (as made famous by Alice Cooper); ?

For the first time ever, Guitar Hero fans will also be able to thrash and burn with new wireless guitar controllers available for each platform. The exclusive Gibson guitars will include innovative features such as removable faceplates that will allow fans to later personalize their guitars and make it their own, and a new button color design that will be integrated for an even greater authentic feel and rock experience. Gibson Guitar's Les Paul model will be the battle axe of choice, and an industry standard for all rock gods on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 system, and Wii . After much anticipation, PlayStation 2 system fans will also be receiving a new exclusive shape as well, the classic Kramer guitar, also a Gibson brand, popularized by hard rockers and known for its body design, pickups, electronics, and construction for furious finger fretting. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Game News :: home page |
