Activision dates Guitar Hero 5 for September 1st
Activision has recently announced that the continuation to the Guitar Hero series, Guitar Hero 5, will be released for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on September 1th, 2009.
Gamers will finally get the chance to play with 4 of the exact same intstruments, you know instead of playing with different instruments like in a band. Also featured is the appearance of 85 bands including the Gorillaz, Duran Duran, and the Beastie Boys.
I guess Activision has decided that the Guitar Hero franchise hasn’t been milked enough. I mean, how many copies has it sold thus far?
