User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Be careful buying this game…..
Received my copy on Tuesday September 8th and was able to play it for all of about 10 minutes then got “disc unreadable” error.

Quick search on internet tells me this is known issue and many other people are experiencing same problem. So I had to pack everything back up in the box to try & exchange for better copy from Amazon.

Also worth noting as other person here has mentioned that Amazon didn’t include a receipt for this purchase with this box which makes it difficult at best to send in for free GH: Van Halen game.

Want my advice? don’t buy this game from Amazon… buy it from local store where you can (a) easily exchange it if you get a bad copy & (b) get a receipt!

Best of luck to those buying this product here. Caveat Emptor!

3 Stars junk guitar
i had this preorderd for a very long time and when it came i wanted to send for the van halen game right away but they make you jump through so many hoops . plus i did not get my receipt from amazon, and on top of that the piece of s##t guitar does not work , none of the buttons on the neck work at all . so i have a game and a guitar that i cant use . im so disapointed. first three drum sets and now this. i hope you all have better luck then i do .

5 Stars great addition to the series
First off, try not to read other reviews that only refer to not getting receipts and manufacturer’s defects. If you have played a Guitar Hero or Rock Band game, this is just a given that some of us are going to have to return an item or two. It happened to me on Gears of War, it happens to everyone.

That being said, this game should be reviewed on the game itself with a little thrown in about the quality of the guitar.

The game is excellent, and getting 4.5 out of 5 and 9 or 10 out of 10 from all the game reviewers. You can use your xbox live avatar, you can create rockers just like before, all your favorite rockers are back, there are a load of fun and new achievements, the ability to jump into songs midstream, and the run on sentence goes on and on. As many series have done, they are constantly coming up with new feature and taking out old features.

In guitar hero I think they have done better than World Tour and improved on some of the complaints with the game and the guitar. I was hesitant to buy a guitar with the new slider neck, but having tried it a few times now my only compaint is that is hard to switch back and forth, which is caused by inexperience only and will get better. The new design is cool looking, works well, and combines nicely with the game. And getting free Van Halen coming my way in 6 weeks is a nice feature as well.

There will be future reviews with more depth, but for now a week after this came out there needs to be at least one review that isn’t just a receipt complaint. I am positive you can print receipts from amazon, so not even sure how that is an issue.
