Guitar Hero Smash Hits (Playstation 2) Reviews
Have you been playing GH for quite a few years now? Are you just getting into the GH/RB phenom, and are wondering what fun you've been missing? Ever want to play the funnest GH hits with a full band, to sing along with, or in "Uncomplicated Multiplayer?" Play this today, then. While some guitar charts are changed, it's generally in ways that make the songs funner to play, and everything that made them fun to begin with is still there.
About the only downside I saw is that apart from "that one infamous hardest GH song ever" (which is even MEANER on DRUMS! If you can imagine...), the "bonus track" areas of the main series have been entirely overlooked in this version. But it's really good for what it is; and it'll also save many PS2'sters a lot of disc-swapping to boot!

Bought this game as a farewell of sorts since I don't see myself lasting with GH/RB past this title. It's got pretty much every great song you can think of from the past GH games if you're a long time GH player. The older charts have been updated to be either easier or more difficult and its all for the better. Along with the arpeggio sections added in GH:WT, this one makes very strong use of ringing notes. A big thing to look out for on the PS2 version is that the load times (to me) are awful. I counted the load times for loading a song as anywhere from 1 minute to a minute and a half. Compared to next gen hardware (PS3, 360, Wii), and all the stuff they crammed into this one disc (guitar, bass, vocals, drums), the load times become acceptable. I also don't like that it saves after you turn on progressive scan; another useless 30 seconds, especially when you have to turn it on EVERY time you boot up the disc. Online multiplayer was not a selling point for me so the $20 difference to not get it on 360 was worth it to me. I'm happy with my choice, the pros of this game far outweigh the cons.

I didnt buy this game on Amazon i bought it at game stop because I only had cash but it was the same price. The game is a good music game but there is some ups and some downs.
The pros of this game is the music is their favorite songs from all the Guitar Heros from 1 to Aerosmith I think. I really loved the feature where you get to make your own custom instruments like guitars on career mode. Career is easy to do you make your rocker then you play the songs but its based on how many stars you get not how many song to go to the new place. The songs are already in Quickplay and you don't have to earn them by beating the season in career mode. Also there is a new difficulty.
The cons are the game has horrible graphics on PS2 don't buy for PS2 i dont know how good graphics are on stations like XBox 360 or PS3. The songs are a little to easy on Hard and Medium. The songs seem to be dragged on quite a bit especially on I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett. The game seems to repeat the same line over and over but I am not sure if thats the real song. The game sometimes says that I missed one I am sure I got but that just maybe a lag or something. Only buy this game when it is somewhere in the $10- $20 price range. If you dont care about the graphics then this game is perfect for you but if your used to semi-good graphics on the PS2 then this game will probably torture you. Hope you took this review helpful.
