Guitar Hero 5 on Wii isn’t a must-own game because of one standout feature or option; it’s the total package through and through. True, some gamers – myself included, to a certain extent – are getting tired of the GH formula after three years and an astounding nine games, but if you’re still down to rock on Wii there’s no better game on the system than Guitar Hero 5. The list of advancements is seemingly never-ending, including better audio quality, better visuals, always online connectivity, no friend codes, first support of high capacity SD cards (up to 32 gigs) on Wii, full album and track packs, reworked, superior online, a new GH Tunes editor, upgraded Mii Freestyle with WiiConnect24 sharing, career mode with a new challenge system, local multiplayer battles with free- for-all and team play – don’t worry, we’re almost at the end here – the new party play mode, reworked fixes based on user feedback from World Tour including band moments and band member saving, and the dominant, must-play Roadie Battle on Wii. Yeah, that’s one hell of a run-on sentence, and if you think reading it took forever playing through all of it is going to dominate your life. The soundtrack has a few misses in there – some songs are just too easy and belong on Band Hero – but for the most part you’ve got a list that’s a more than impressive value. Add in the ability to import music from World Tour and Smash Hits, as well as DLC carryover for the first time in a Guitar Hero game and you’ve got a package that’s well worth every cent you’ll pay. It’s a technical achievement on Wii, it’s a dominatingly deep music game, and there’s more to see and do on Nintendo’s system than any other version out there. Proof once more that when it comes to Nintendo third party developers, Vicarious Visions is in a league all its own.
