The next installment of the wildly popular Guitar Hero franchise will add wireless drums and vocals. Along with the expanded instruments, the guitar will be upgraded too, allowing for playing songs that use slide guitar.

Perhaps most exciting aspect of the new iteration is the ability for users to create and upload their own songs. With the inclusion of the Guitar Hero Music Studio users will finally be able to experience the thrill of rocking out to their own creative endeavors.

A battle mode has been added with the ability for 8 players to participate in a battle of the bands type of experience. Expect to see the level of competition increased as gamers keep trying to one-up each other in their own personal creations.

And for those that prefer rocking out to more, shall we say, established acts, Guitar Hero will include new tracks from Metallica and REM.

    puh-lease. hardly anyone is going to make original songs for GHWT. it’s going to be all “covers” of songs that weren’t in the game. AC/DC, Led Zep, and the Beatles should be pretty popular.

    • Come on, murph. Sure they’ll the inevitable covers. But wouldn’t it be exciting to just drum in a studio like crazy and what comes out is a song! I think it’s pretty revolutionary. GH:WT has succeeded in the category it failed before: innovation. Besides, what the hell is so bad about bringing in a song that isn’t available? A lot of good songs are really quite lame without vocals, which isn’t included because of, typically, copyright infringement.

  • Upload their own songs? Dose this mean I could upload songs like master of puppets or one winged angel and put in the notes for it?

  • if master of puppets isnt in gh WT i am getting rock band 2 just for battery another song by metallica
