Recently, Activision announced Guitar Hero 5 to release in the fall of 2009 with two other music based titles, Band Hero and DJ Hero. Now GameSpot reports that details of the gameplay and other features of Activision’s Guitar Hero 5 have been unofficially released by one of the publicity partners of Activision, which they say is good for gamers.
It seems that Guitar Hero 5 will include a variety of subtle differences over Guitar Hero World Tour. The most exciting of these is the game’s set list of songs with All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan, Blue Orchid by The White Stripes, Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash, Runnin’ Down a Dream from Tom Petty, Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon and Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones.
Apparently, players will be able to use any combination of instruments, letting up to four players rock out on any selection of instruments they want. For example, four players can play on a single console with two on guitar and two on the drums. Party Play and RockFest are included in the gameplay modes. In addition, all the downloadable content for Guitar Hero World Tour will be compatible with Guitar Hero 5 and the features from Guitar Hero 5 will be applied to tracks from GH World Tour.
Exact pricing or release dates are not known for the game but it has been said that Guitar Hero 5 will allow players to play all previously released downloadable music.
