Finally, I can play though on Hard and get the Easy and Medium achievements as well.  After loading the game up the first thing I did was to try my Rock Band wired guitar which worked great.  I&#8217;m really glad because I&#8217;ve seen polls showing that about half of people who tried could not get the Rock band Guitar to work in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and the other half could.  Since I like the Rock band guitar a lot better than my Guitar Hero Xplorer I was pretty excited when it worked.  I&#8217;ve played about 8 or 10 songs so far and I have mixed feelings about the game.  I should preface that by saying that I&#8217;m not a real big Aerosmith fan.  So far, playing all their songs is getting a bit old because they all feel the same.  However, the opening ats songs have been pretty fun to play.  Overall though I like Rock Band better.  I can&#8217;t quite put my finger on why, but the songs in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith are just not as fun to play as the ones in Rock Band.  I think it is how they structure the note charts, but I&#8217;ll have to play more of each to see if I can figure it out.  After I get through more of the game I&#8217;ll get a full review together, but that might take a few days since I keep going back to Rock Band.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided to rent Guitar Hero: Aerosmith since I already have the guitars and I heard the achievements are stackable so I no longer have play on every difficulty setting to get all the achievements.
