Well, it’s fall and for rhythm game enthusiasts, that means a new Guitar Hero game, like clockwork, every year. While this year’s iteration isn’t as marked an improvement as last year’s GH5, it certainly adopts the best innovations of the series and tweaks it into a more fine-tuned beast with just a tad of complete nonsense thrown in.

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is a great game in its own right and I’m sure that fans of the series will lap up the new features on offer, because they are fantastic. If at this moment though you asked me to choose between this and Rock Band 3, my money on this occasion would be going the way of EA.

Neversoft has proved time and time again they can crank out an excellent rhythm game, but as a final bow to the series – the baton now being handed over to Vicarious Visions – it feels a little half-hearted.

Warriors of Rock is a solid Guitar Hero offering for sure, and perhaps one of Neversoft’s best, despite the weird creative decision to include monsters in its primary experience. It’s a title that packs a ton of content and gameplay onto a single disc, and its import options for songs from previous titles will pad your song selections nicely.

Ultimately, that last point summarizes the most damning thing about Warriors of Rock – a lack of any compelling reason to exist. Neversoft placed the lion’s share of their eggs in the Quest mode’s metal themed basket, and it buckles under the pressure. From a technical standpoint, Warriors of Rock works, but existentially, more than ever, Guitar Hero feels aimless. It’s no GH: Van Halen, but after the excellent Guitar Hero 5, Warriors of Rock feels like a lackluster encore rather than a blistering second set. Guitar Hero has been on tour too long now, and it shows. It might finally be time for the band to take a break before heading back into the studio.

Warriors of Rock adamantly refuses to evolve the series in any discernible way, and, as a result, the Guitar Hero formula’s gone stale. When playing the franchise’s very first outing, I was consumed by a feeling that I was using a video game controller to interact with music in a meaningful way. While playing Warriors of Rock, I got the distinct impression that I was just pushing buttons for points.
