Career: 5 out of 10Career is much different than previous GH games and in my opinion a major step backwards. Your quest in career is to get 900+ stars. These stars can be a real headache, because you must use all the instruments and perform random tasks on the side while playing the song. There are no achievements for difficulty in this game which is dumb. You can unlock 90% the achievements on EASY or BEGINNER. So basically any average person could just pick up this game and nail the achievements. There is no award for Spankin career on Expert

. The career interface is seriously lacking! There are 85 songs in the game and some 150+ downloadable songs.
Multiplayer: 10 out of 10Whether your playing at home or online, Guitar Hero is still a lot of fun. This game has brought multiple new game types to battle opponents. Co-op is vastly improved and much more fluid. A very very cool new feature to this game is the fact that you don't have to play as a band with guitar, bass, drums, and mic. All four people can play whatever they wish. For example all four people can play lead guitar as a band. A lot of people currently play this game online. I recently went back to World Tour and it seems everyone has moved over to Guitar Hero 5.
Graphics: 10 out of 10As compared to the other Guitar Hero games, which were graphically behind for their times, this game really kicks it up a notch. The graphics completely blow away the previous guitar hero games and give Rock Band a run for its money. The interface is much improved and easier to play. There are no distractive pop-ups like in previous GH games, for example getting 100 note streak. You can use your own avatar in the game as well. There are no graphical glitches with this game either. Previous games tended to have little stutters here and there when you play on Expert.

Although this game has the largest tracklist yet, it is still like all the other GH games. Half the songs you have heard of and the other half you have never heard of.
This game with the Guitar is $89.99 US dollars. But if you want to just by the game, it is currently $59.99.
http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_...If you are like me and a Guitar junkie than I suggest picking this game up and it is worth the $59.99. If you are a casual GH player I would suggest waiting till the game drops in price. My suggested retail value is $39.99.
If you are new to Guitar Hero, I highly suggest you purchase GH World Tour before this game. All downloadable songs for World Tour can transfer to Guitar Hero 5. World Tour's Campaign is considerably more fun and what I feel to be the best GH song selection. If your looking to play online then I suggest GH 5, because it is the only one people are currently still playing.
