About this product

Product Information

By 2009, the Guitar Hero franchise had over 400 songs spread across a number of different games. Since some of these games were on older platforms, Guitar Hero players needed to switch between their PlayStation 3 console and their older systems to play the song they wanted; "Guitar Hero: Smash Hits" solves that problem. With this release, Activision collects 48 of the most popular songs taken from five different games, including "Guitar Hero II" and "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock," and compiles them onto one disc.Like previous games in this series, "Smash Hits" features a variety of modes. In the Career mode, the God of Rock tasks you with powering an ancient artifact. The only way you can power this object is by playing music at venues of great power. At each venue, there are a number of tracks you can play. Pass each one with a positive star rating to unlock new venues and more challenging tracks. As you play through the Career mode, you'll unlock new clothing options for your in-game characters. However, finishing the story is just the start of the fun. Quickplay mode will allow you to choose any song in the game. Every song is available from the start, so players can skip the story and jump right into playing."Smash Hits" uses similar gameplay systems as "Guitar Hero World Tour." You can use vocals or choose to play three different instruments: lead guitar, bass guitar, and drums. Then, you'll either jam alone or form a full band with one player on each instrument. On each track, notes will scroll down from the top of the screen. When each note hits the bottom, press the corresponding button on your controller. Successfully hitting notes will raise your multiplier, which will increase your score. You'll also fill a star meter for each note hit. When this meter is full, activate it to double your multiplier for a limited time. At the end of the game, you'll receive stars based on how well you performed. This PS3 game also has multiple difficulties. With each level of difficulty, the notes scroll faster and more of them appear on the screen. If you fail to hit enough notes, the song will end prematurely, and you'll be booed off the stage.The 48 tracks in this title were reworked to accommodate all the instruments. Tracks that normally have a solo for just one instrument now feature additional sections for the other ones. All of your favorite rock bands are present in this PlayStation 3 game. The band list includes Rage Against the Machine, Queens of the Stone Age, and Alice in Chains. The setlist is a collection of the greatest hits from previous Guitar Hero games. You'll find heavy metal songs like "Cowboys from Hell" and "Killing in the Name" on this disc. Classics from yesteryear, like "More Than a Feeling" and "Message in a Bottle," are perfect for older fans. Additional tracks like "Play With Me," "Through the Fire and Flames," and "Smoke on the Water" are also included. Finally, classic rock anthems like "Beast and the Harlot" and "Bark at the Moon" are available.
