People have thrown some bad comments at GH5, but it has some great features that set it apart from GHWT. One of the greatest new features is party play. It's great way for anyone to jump right into the song and start playing. Even in the middle of songs you can still start playing. It's an easy, and fun way to warm, or play with a group. There's no presure. If you're in red the song continues playing. If you don't want to play an instrument, you can also watch the band play in party play.

A notable part of the game is the great song list. Most of the songs aren't well know, but this allows for the player to experience new music. Playing a set list of songs you'ver heard a million times can take away from the games experience and purpose. Playing some of these lesser know songs gives you a chance to really prover your skills because you don't already know the beats and melodies.

Many people will enjoy the ability to make playlists. Not only can you make one time playlists, but you can also save a playlist to play whenever you chose. The game also comes with some preloaded playlists.

In career mode you need to earn stars to unlock venues. The more stars you earn per song the fast your career progresses, and you unlock venues. New to the GH line is the abitity to complete challenges for extra stars. Some challeges are instument and band specific, but all changes are optional. if you complete the challenge successfully you gain extra stars, and unlock new things in the game such as characters, and cheats. There are three levels of challenge completion: Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. You get an additional star as you move up each level, which means you can have up to eight stars on every song.

To put a truly authentic feel to things a player can customize their band logo, and characters. There are several options for making you logo and characters exactly the way you want them. You can customize everything from the shape and position of their eyes, to the emblems and colors of their instruments. You may find yourself spending hours just working on your characters look. Customize is one of the best features of the game.

Lastly if you enjoy creating your own music you can do that in the music studio. This is one of the things the truly got and upgrade from GHWT. It's now simpler to use, and has more options. If you're new to the music studio you will find the on screen descriptions and directions very helpful. You can also upload up to 50 songs instead of 5 now. Heavy GHtunes users will appreciate this.

Overall many people will be very impressed with GH5, and will spend many hours to come playing it.
