Rocking out with 4 players guarantees a lot of fun!
Guitar Hero 5 completely turned my house upside down for a few days! Rocking out with 4 players, singer, drummer, bassist, and guitarist is a lot of fun. The different difficulty levels make the game accessible and enjoyable for everyone. With around 80 songs, there's something for everyone.

9,0Disappointing Tracklist and Lack of Innovation
I personally love Guitar Hero and Rock Band games. So, when Guitar Hero 5 was released, I had to play it right away.
Honestly, this installment let me down... The tracklist is really not as good (partially personal opinion, but there are just no real classics included, unlike in 4 and 3).
Moreover, the novelty has worn off a bit, there are hardly any new features, and it doesn't feel innovative. Compared to 3 and 4, the graphics have improved, but in a game where you need all your focus to hit the notes on time, that doesn't matter much. You already have all the songs from the beginning, so starting a career mode almost feels pointless. It's like it's just an add-on with new songs and no new elements.
Apart from the few changes and the underwhelming tracklist, it's still a decent game. It's a shame it's not such a big improvement, but still.
