Guitar Hero 5 is one of the most highly anticipated games of recent times. We earlier reported that the last 15 tracks of the music game’s massive 85 track set-list had been announced. Now, we have word that fans will be able to play Guitar Hero 5 as their own Xbox Avatars. Players will be able to have their Xbox Avatars play alongside Guitar Hero favorites like Judy Nails, Axel Steel and Lars Ümlaüt.
Vampire Weekend, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, The White Stripes, Kings of Leon, and The Rolling Stones are just some of the artists that are going to feature in the highly successful game. The Create-A-Rocker mode will help to give any avatar a Guitar Hero makeover with Guitar Hero clothing and accessories and the entire 85 song set-list will be at the user’s disposal right from the start. Also, players will now be able to join any gameplay session midway with the new Party Play Mode.
The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Guitar Hero 5 are developed by Neversoft Entertainment and published by Activision Publishing. The PS2 version is being developed by Budcat, while the Nintendo Wii version is being developed by Vicarious Visions. The music game is expected to be out on September 1, 2009 but no prices have been declared by company officials yet.
