School’s out, the bell’s silent, the school furniture‘s all put up, the halls are empty and there’s a noticeable absence of books in your kids’ lives. What are you to do with them?
Put ‘em to work grinding up video games, that’s what. I made err.. let Nick play Guitar Hero 5 today on career mode. Because GH5 is the first guitar hero game that doesn’t require you to go through and play the entire game before you get to play all the songs, we never really bothered with career mode, but I wanted some of the trophies.
Now, about 6 hours later of us taking turns, I’ve gotten to the end of the career mode and plucked most of the low hanging fruit from GH5′s trophy bush.
Oh and mini-review, GH5 isn’t actually terrible. Rock Band 2 has the upper hand with regards importing music (and DLC too, I think) but you can end up with a good 60-70 extra songs if you own World Tour and Smash Hits. You may hear that the soundtrack isn’t much to sneeze at, but honestly it’s not bad – it’s just not obvious, like GH3‘s soundtrack was.
Plus the guitar that comes with it is quite possibly the best rhythm game peripheral available right now.
