Just for clarification, Harmonix and Red Octane did Guitar Hero 1 & 2. Red Octane owned the name rights so when it was bought by Activision, Neversoft created the Guitar Hero games from that point on. I love Harmonix for a lot of the music they got me into and for inspiring people to play music.

As soon as I saw this "Warriors of Rock" version come out, I told all my coworkers that this is the end of Guitar Hero.Many other games have gone that route and seldom few have made it out of the transforming character forest. It's too bad though, the first few were bleeding new life into gaming.

While Guitar Hero was cool for the first two games, when Rock Band came along, Activision stuck to the Hero method of 'FUCK YEAH WE ARE OVER THE TOP' without actually being over the top. Rock Band knew what it was, and worked on tightening up the existing formula. Always felt more precise.
