Guitar Hero: Smash Hits is yet another game in the Guitar Hero franchise, full of songs you have already played. However, these songs are being re-released with full band support, updated song charts, and now all songs are master tracks (oh the good ole days of horrible cover songs from GH1...).
The tracklist isn't nearly as awful as I was expecting, but certainly not as good as I hoped. See the full tracklist here.
No "Six", no "Light That Blinds"... but definitely some decent songs on there I wouldn't mind playing again with updated song charts. But, with that said, I probably won't ever get around to buying it. GHIV definitely reached maximum milking overdrive, and I think most people who have been around since the first game are a bit tired of the series, especially now as it incorporates more "family friendly" songs. Yet another beloved game/movie/comic fucked over by the mainstream machine. Sad.
One other thing... why can't either Activision or Harmonix get away from boring crap like The Donnas - "Take It Off" and Pat Benatar - "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". Who the hell likes to play these songs? 40 year old moms who pick up the game once for a quick play to see what all the fuss is about? They are boring as hell, and to me they don;t add in anything to the experience besides annoyance that I am forced to play through them to advance. If those 3 or so songs were replaced by any other songs from GH1-3, this setlist would be so much better.
