The game was developed by Neversoft and published by Activision, and released internationally in September 2009 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, 3 and Wii consoles. Similar to the preceding title, ''Guitar Hero World Tour'', ''Guitar Hero 5'' is geared towards playing in a four-person band experience, including lead and bass guitar, drums, and vocals. The game is available as a standalone title, allowing players to use existing compatible instrument controllers, and as a bundle that provides these controllers. ''Guitar Hero 5'' adds several new features, such as drop-in/drop-out play, bands composed of any combination of available instruments, a Rockfest competitive mode consisting of several various scoring mechanisms, and both song-specific and general Challenges to unlock new avatars, clothing, and other extras in the game. Many of these changes were added to make the game a more social experience, allowing players across a range of skill levels to be able to play cooperatively and competitively against each other both locally and online. ''Guitar Hero 5s track list contains 85 songs by 83 separate artists, and like previous ''Guitar Hero'' games, several musicians with works in the game have been modeled through motion capture for playable characters in the game, including Johnny Cash, Carlos Santana, Shirley Manson, Matthew Bellamy, and Kurt Cobain. Players can also create their own character and instrument to play with. The game continues to support the user-created music studio introduced in ''World Tour'' through GHTunes, and additional downloadable content for the game was also made available. A majority of existing downloadable tracks from ''World Tour'' are forward-compatible with ''Guitar Hero 5'', along with selected on-disc tracks from ''World Tour'' and ''Guitar Hero Smash Hits'', and songs from the game could also be exported for a fee to play in its sequel, ''Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock'', and spin-off game ''Band Hero''. The game was well received by reviewers, who appreciated the improvements in the accessibility of the game, allowing players to immediately jump in and play without spending excessive time in the game's menus. The game also sold well, however, it sold about less than 50 percent of ''Guitar Hero: World Tour's'' sales, specifically selling 1.2 million copies across all platforms. Improvements to both the Career and competitive multiplayer modes were also highlights of the game. However, the game's track list was considered to be too broad, and controversy arose over the ability to use the avatar of Kurt Cobain to perform in any other song within the game. == Gameplay == Gameplay in ''Guitar Hero 5'' is similar to previous games in the series. Using a special game controller, players attempt to match scrolling notes as they appear on screen along a note track to mimic the playing of rock music and other songs. Hitting correct notes in time with the music increases the player's score and builds up the performance meter, while missing notes will cause the meter to drop. Should the meter fall below a certain threshold, the song will end prematurely with the player booed off the stage by a virtual audience. Correctly hitting ten consecutive notes will add to the player's score multiplier by one, up to a maximum of four times the original multiplier. Specially marked sections of the song, if completed correctly, help to build up Star Power, which can then be activated through an action with the controller to further double the current multiplier (up to 8x). As with ''Guitar Hero World Tour'', ''Guitar Hero 5'' supports the playing of lead and bass guitar through guitar controllers, drums through a drum controller, and vocals through a microphone. Players can also play in groups of up to four local or remote players to form a band, co-operatively playing through a song. Whereas in ''World Tour'', a band could only have one of each instrument, ''Guitar Hero 5'' allows players to arrange for any combination of instruments, including all four players on the same instrument if they so choose.〔 While playing in a band, Star Power is now tracked separately for each player, as opposed to collectively for the band as in ''World Tour''. A new play mechanic called "Band Moments" will require all members of the band to play sections of a song successfully to gain rewards, both in a temporary scoring multiplier and visual effects on screen.〔 The Band Revival meter will appear when a player fails out of the song, requiring the other band members to play well as a group together in order to bring the failed player back into the game. Failing to do so will end the song prematurely.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guitar Hero 5」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
