Fantastic Game for All Guitar Hero Fans, and a Welcome Return to the Franchises Rock n' Roll Roots

I'd say this is the best Guitar Hero game that was released. I love the song list (which contains 93 songs!), the characters, and the leveling system incorporated in Quickplay.

Quest Mode:
The last game before Guitar Hero Live released, Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock sends you on a quest to find the legendary guitar, save the Demigod of Rock, defeat the beast, and save rock and roll. Each chapter consists of a character that has a unique power (Johnny Napalm has Speed Freak, Axel Steel has Resurrection, etc.) that is used to earn power stars. Along the way, you'll progress 8 rocker into their "warrior" forms, granting them a new look and upgrading their power.

Quickplay+:
Unique to this game is the star challenges that each song (including DLC songs) has. Each song has challenges for all the instruments, and challenges for band play as well. Up to 3 challenges are available to try for your instrument of choice, and even if you aren't focused on trying them, they still track your progress in the song.

These challenges have 3 levels of achievement: Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. With each completed challenge, an extra star is earned towards leveling. The max amount that can be obtained at once is 15 (6 from 100%ing the song, and 9 from getting diamond on all 3 challenges).

Leveling System:
In Quickplay+, earning stars allows you to level up and unlock many kinds of things. These include, but not limited to: Characters, Venues, Galleries, Cheats/Extras, Instruments, etc. (Some of these can be unlocked by playing through Quest Mode, with a select few ONLY being unlockable in Quest Mode). Overall, the level system really inspires you to try harder difficulties and different instruments to earn the most stars that you can. There is no level cap, so you can go as high as you can!

Wrapping up, I'd say this is the best Guitar Hero in the series. While some may not like it as its mostly comprised of metal and rock songs, or that some songs are too difficult, veteran fans of the series will feel welcome here in this challenging, but rewarding rock and roll paradise.Read full review

Constant freezing mid-game

I love this game! It’s so fun but, ever since the first time I played it, it has been really bad about freezing. At first it was ok with little freezing, but I only got to play it once before leaving for vacation so I didn’t get to see how bad it fully was. Now that I’m back and have been playing it more, the freezing is getting really bad. I can’t go a number of seconds without it freezing and when it does freeze, the background keeps going on, losing my points but making it impossible to play. Other than that I love the game and the song, but the freezing makes it really hard to play. I was offered a different disk but since I wasn’t home at the time and had only played it once, I declined the offer to make it less of a hassle. I thought the game was alright but now that I’m playing it more I can tell it’s not as good as I thought. I’m also assuming it’s too late for a new copy now, but if not, please let me know! Like I said, the game itself is amazing but it won’t let me play. Read full review
