Whar We Know so Far

Smash Hits uses only master recordings, which means that the cover versions used in the original Guitar Hero have been replaced. Of course, Guitar Hero has changed quite a bit over the years in terms of how the guitar chord progressions are charted and so adjustments have been made. If you think you know Queen's "Killer Queen" by heart, you're in for a surprise. And every song has undergone a change at bass guitar, because Activision rewrote the rules of Hard and Expert bass playing with GH IV. You now have open chords to play on bass, which definitely adds a bit more challenge to some of the easier Guitar Hero songs of the past.

Of course the biggest change is the addition of drums and vocals. Finally, you can hear your best friend butcher Heart's "Barracuda"! If you've played GHIV or Metallica, then you have nothing new really to discover in terms of gameplay. Playing with a band is no different than in those games. Only the songs have changed. That's not a bad thing,

Speaking of the songs, there are 48 in total. Activision is going to be revealing these slowly over the next month. The preview build includes the following eight tracks:

* Heart "Barracuda" - GHIII
* Joan Jett and the Blackhearts "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" - GH
* Twisted Sister "I Wanna Rock" - GH 80s
* Queen "Killer Queen" - GH
* Rage Against the Machine "Killing in the Name" - GHII
* Poison "Nothing but a Good Time" - GH 80s
* Alice in Chains "Them Bones" - GHII
* DragonForce "Through the Fire and Flames" - GHIII

tbh i think they could have done so much better, they have the opportunity to put together the greatest guitar hero songs, and this is what they come up with, yes we all want to try TTFAF on drums, but apart from that, its not good.
