Guitar Hero 5 Adds Song Specific Challenges For Longer Lasting Flavor

In addition to a crystal clear look at the virtual crotch of guitarist Carlos Santana, Activision and Neversoft’s Guitar Hero 5 will be adding an extra layer of replayability for the hardcore gamer with song specific Challenges.

According to a report from Destructoid, Guitar Hero 5 players won’t be simply seeking five star-rated performances, but will pursue Gold, Platinum, and Diamond level song challenges. Those include things like hitting note streaks of increasing difficulty, accruing dozens of hammer on/pull offs and nailing vocal parts that would elude casual players.

Specifically, some of those GH5 Challenges include nailing the word ā€œfameā€ in David Bowie’s ā€œFameā€ 24 notes in a row to achieve Diamond accolades and 695 notes played with an up-strum only on Beck’s ā€œGamma Ray.ā€ Sounds… fun?

The reward? Local fame and unlockable goodies, of course. Gone is the series’ use of money to buy things, replaced by Achievement-like Challenges.
