Had a good few hours on this today. No need to explain the gameplay, but for those that have been under a rock for a while this is a compilation of selected tracks from Guitar Heros 1,2,3, 80's and one tune from the Aerosmith edition. 48 tracks is what you get for your buck, all with support for Drum, Guitar, Bass and Vocals. If you don't like Guitar Hero games this one isn't going to change your mind. For the rest of us it's business as usual.
The game also sports the Expert + difficulty for drums as first seen in the Metallica game, which you can use a second drum pedal for. Also taken from the Metallica edition is the use of stars earned to unlock new venues and music, as oppose to the old way of playing a pre determined number of songs.
Annoyingly you cannot use your downloadable content in this game so it's a stand alone effort with only the DIY GH:Tunes cross compatable.
I've played a couple of songs on Guitar (hard) and a load on drums (medium). The note guitar note charts are not the same as the old versions from what I remember and all songs this time are master recordings.
The Pantera track "Cowboys From Hell" is a live version, and surprisingly it works really well. It doesn't really deviate from the master recording that much, and sounds nice and meaty. The Helmet track is also a live one, but I havn't tried that one yet.
One last point to make is the Rage Against the Machine track "Killing in the Name" still seems a puzzling inclusion, given the sweary words in it. They are just blanked out this time as oppose to the changing of the words in the cover version used in GH:2 so it does work a bit better. On vocals it will be easy enough to add swearing in to taste!
