2.0 out of 5 stars Should have been a track pack, January 6, 2010

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Guitar Hero Van Halen (Video Game)
I got the freebie copy of GH:VH from the GH5 promo. GH:VH uses the GH: Metallica engine - it has expert-plus drums and better star power indicators, but it doesn't have the easy group play drop-in/drop-out stuff of GH5 or the instrument challenges that make that game a little more interesting.

Positives: If you like classic David Lee Roth Van Halen (no Van Hagar here) you'll love it. You'll also dig it if you like playing hard guitar parts. It's difficult without being annoying - a lot of hard guitar songs are mostly endless strings of HOPOs and alt-strums. These are more interesting, and with a bunch of fun slide parts.

Negatives:
1) For most of the game you're "Van Halen in 2008." You too can be middle-aged guys reliving their youth! Not exactly my rock-n-roll fantasy. And yes, the game has Eddie's son Wolfgang on bass. I don't want to pick on him, but even his videogame avatar looks a little embarrassed to be there. Eventually you unlock classic... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Could had been better if they did not rush the development., December 27, 2010
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Guitar Hero Van Halen (Video Game)
This could had been a 5 star title but as some reviews stated it was rushed and used the same engine as the Metallica game. Come on Activision you had a diamond in the rough and you blew it. This comes from a die hard Van Halen fan since 1980.

2.0 out of 5 stars Gitr Hro: Vn Haln, February 7, 2012
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Guitar Hero Van Halen (Video Game)
Just so you know, I'm not that terrible a typist, nor is my grammar that bad. I typed out my review title like that for a reason. Why? Well, simply put this game is only half Van Halen. Thus I took out half the letters in the title. I think it's an absolute insult to call this game "Guitar Hero: Van Halen" This is just "Guitar Hero: Van Roth"

Oh yeah, lets make a Guitar Hero specifically for one of the best rock bands of the past 30 years,...and take out 10 years of the bands material and just not put any of it in the game. WTF!!! Roth was only in the band 6 years. Hagar was in the band 10+. I would have LOVED this game. But where are the flipping killer tracks from the Van Hagar years??? Summer Nights, Dreams, Best of Both Worlds, Source of Infection, Humans Being, RESPECT THE WIND!!!

I Love Van Halen, but this game only gets 2 stars in my book. It blew my mind how many freaking Van Halen filler tracks made their way into this game, what a joke.
