Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock Demo Out Now

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock Demo Out Now

I wanna rock! ROCK!

Written by zigs00 on 07 September 10 at 12:37

The demo for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock has hit the Marketplace today, available for download exclusively for Xbox Live Gold members.

The demo features four of the game's 90+ song setlist, allowing you to play through the whole of Johnny Napalm's chapter in the all new Quest mode and unleash his Warrior alter ego and unique power in the chapter's encore. So for those of us sceptical of the new direction the franchise seems to be taking with the sixth iteration, this is a great opportunity to play through it before outright dismissing it.

What are the four songs in the demo you ask?

• Black Sabbath - "Children Of The Grave"
• Foo Fighters - "No Way Back"
• Slash featuring Ian Astbury - "Ghost"
• Dethklok - "Bloodlines"

To download the demo for yourself, click here for the direct link to the content on the Xbox.com Marketplace.

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is scheduled for release on September 24th in Europe and on September 28th in North America. Yeah, you read that right, us Europeans are getting a game first for once wink

with a good set list I might even get sucked into this franchise (just checked it out, looks nice). Always thought it was better to spend my time actually playing a guitar :)

Quite decent songs to start with. Probably avoiding this due to my lack of talent with any game including instruments.

Sabbath, Slash, AND Dethklok? Best. Demo. Ever. This game is going to doominate (no typo lol) Rock Band 3, the setlist just obliterates it in nearly everyway.

Still a day one purchase for me... probably will review it too :p

EDIT - Played it, love it. It's moreorless a refined version of GH5 with minor additions (like open bass sustains and a psuedo-rewind feature when you pause), but with a better setlist. Beyond pumped for the full game in two week.

Oh! There's also a DJ Hero 2 demo out (later today) as well. May want to add that to the article.

Guys... I know this might sound silly, but can we avoid this becoming an argument about GH vs RB? Everyone has their preference and opinion, but it's irritating to see every single news post about either franchise devolve into bickering about which one is better. This news story is about the Warriors of Rock demo, can the comments stay on topic?

Sorry, I don't want to be an arsehole, but it seems to happen every single time and it's really boring and irritating.

This ^

Looking forward to trying this, If i do get the game, I'll be pulling my usual stunt of skipping all the stupid cut scenes and story they always tack on.

I don't want to hate but there are more than 6 GH's. And if i am misconstruing this what would you mean by iteration?

well I'll put it like this.. guitar hero 3 was great, 4 was terrible, 5 was even worse. so 6 I'm not hoping much. They're always behind Rockband in every way, which is why Rockband 1 is the best of these games ever to be brought out, and considering you can just export those songs to number 2. It just keeps getting better. So sorry about you people, but Rockband is just simply better.
