Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Officially Announced

We rather like Guitar Hero around these parts. Go ahead a type the name into out search box and you’ll get a billion results – or something equally high. However, it seems Activision have today truly jumped the shark with the game by officially announcing Guitar Hero: Aerosmith – a game which has been rumoured for quiet a while.

Fire up the fret board, crank the amp to 11 and get ready to rock this way with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, the first game built around the legendary music of America’s Greatest Rock ‘N Roll Band comments the press release – using the typical This Is Spinal Tap joke straight out of the gate.

“We are extremely excited that Aerosmith chose to team up with Guitar Hero, bringing one of the world’s all-time best-selling artists together with one of the biggest video game brands, to deliver a new and unique interactive way for our customers to connect with artists and their music,” said Dusty Welch, head of publishing for Activision/RedOctane. “This partnership will give Aerosmith, a band that has sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, a powerful and innovative platform to reach their fans and new audiences.”

To celebrate the announcement of the game Activision has revealed that Aerosmith’s ‘Dream On’ will be available for download to play in GH III. The song will be available for free from February 16-18, so grab it quick if you are tired of giving Activision your money

So, why couldn’t this just have been a DLC pack?
