Play along with Aerosmith – as Aerosmith – through their musical career in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for the Xbox 360. Follow the band from its first show at Mendon Nipmuc Regional High School in 1970 to the 2001 Super Bowl XXXV halftime show and their 2001 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band members worked closely with the developers – including participating in motion capture – to create a truly accurate Aerosmith experience. Over 40 songs – many of them master tracks – make up the set list. While the majority of the tunes are by Aerosmith – including four remastered specifically for the game – the rest were chosen by the band members from acts that have played with Aerosmith, or whom inspired the band.
Gameplay is based on Guitar Hero III with four levels of difficulty and some improvements to the mechanics. Play competitively or cooperatively with another player or go solo with Quickplay and Career mode. The latter features six segments based on periods in the band's history along with a Boss Battle against Joe Perry. Extra content, including videos, is presented throughout the game or can be unlocked along with other band members and guests, such as Run DMC and Lenny Kravitz.
The wireless guitar controller included in this bundle is modeled after the Gibson Les Paul and is customized with a special red faceplate featuring the Aerosmith logo in white. It features the five color-coded frets on the neck along with a durable, responsive strum bar, whammy bar and a tilt sensor. The Start and Select buttons have been crafted to resemble the volume and gain knobs on the original. The bundle also features a tour book, stickers, key chain and dual guitar gig bag.
