I quite enjoyed it to be honest Alan. Especially the fact it does work with my Rock Band stuff. Obviously it still pales in comparison to Rock Band, but for the PC I’d say it’s the best one of them.

Only just seen this post. Don’t have much to add except to say I reviewed the PC version of Guitar Hero Aerosmith for WorthPlaying. It was very lazily ported, so I wouldn’t hold much hope for World Tour. :)

Not entirely – Frets On Fire was a decent alternative to number 3 – and indeed earlier when it was all covers and we wanted to play real songs, but you can’t do the drums and singing with Frets like you can in 4. I was tempted to mention it in this article, I didn’t in the end as when it’s just a single instrument, I don’t think it personally has as much of an impact as GH4 does, which by including the whole band is more suited to party play naturally.

I’ve gotta be honest that the way the Guitar Hero franchise has beent reated on the PC is pretty damn rubbish, it is a massive franchise, and whilsts the PC may not have the traditional image of being a ‘party’ tool, there is no reason why multiplayer can’t be used to give the game a little bit more depth. The absolute lack of any promotion of the PC release too just makes you think that companies don’t think the PC is suitable for ‘party’ games. Pfft!
