Technically the best Guitar Hero yet

The Party Play mode is above all and offers, as the name suggests, the most fun together with friends. From the main menu you are pressing a button in the game. Instrument and difficulty select and off you go. No set menu, not interrupting the current song and with every player. Every conceivable combination of up to 4 instruments is conceivable. 4 guitars at home, no problem let's go! 2 percussionists, 2 singers, if you please (provided you have the necessary tools).

It is possible to create playlists and save them, there is no loading times between the individual songs. You can exchange so on-the-fly Players and adjust as appropriate the difficulty for new challenges, but no matter how bad the players are, the failure of the song is not possible in this mode. Party fun guaranteed.

But there's much more to see:
- A career mode which is based more on the older GH games. You play from Venue to Venue and on by special Challanges (eg 300 banknote series, 4x multiplier 30 seconds hold, etc.) new clothes free. No annoying free spins all necessary anymore songs, these are all available from the outset. This mode can be used alone or with multiple and even complete online.
- A Quick Play mode is basically the same as Party Play offers with a few additions: The band members can be selected, an online game is possible here, and there is no no-fail mode. Nevertheless, one can survive here with poorer players, since there is a possibility of eliminated players to save through good play of the other participants and to help to use again. Similarly, to create, store and load the possibility playlists.
- To a duel mode with different variants to compete directly against his friends (online and offline). In addition, a Roadiemodus where the Nintendo DS is used as a control and sabotage unit of Roadies (similar to the duel mode in GH3).
- The well-known from GHWT Mii Freestyle Mode where you can also record songs and send to his friends.

These are all features that do not yet include the song selection, here the other points in this regard.
- It is possible the old DLC from GHWT on GH5 convert (extension to tape moments). Here except the Hendrix songs
- Import of date 21 of the 48 songs from Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits. For a license fee of 200 Wii Points. Already works and takes about 620 MB on a SD card.
- Import from 35 of the 86 songs from Guitar Hero: World Tour for a fee of 350 Wii Points (approximately 1GB of space for the songs needed).
- An import for more songs to come as soon as the licenses are available for it.
- Important: An SD card is mandatory here because of limited memory of the Wii, so many songs can not save. By SDHC support cards can be used up to 32 GB. Minimum in my view should be able to store 4 GB to the old songs and DLC there. GH5 now also offers a streaming function of the songs, so that they are always loaded directly by card and no longer be copied to the memory of the Wii like in GHWT previously.

So it is possible to come to a considerable number of songs if you already called some GH title his own.

About the quality of the song selection leaves in GH5 is debatable, so I will not go into it. It's not all to my taste, but by the import function and DLC this shortcoming is to get over.

What remains as a conclusion for myself: It is technically the best Guitar Hero there is. The numerous game modes, online support and good integration of the DLC and the old GH games it offers hell of a lot for the Guitar Hero fan.

After the problems with the store finally solved all the gameplay should be untroubled now.
