Vote for your Guitar Hero Greatest Hits. Well almost

Your IT - Entertainment

When I first read this press release, I was genuinely excited; Activision are letting the fans have a say in the lead up to releasing Guitar Hero Greatest Hits. Sort of, click on through for the first set of released songs.

Hand’s up those Guitar Hero nuts out there that, with the release of the full band experience of World Tour, would like to revisit some of the tracks from earlier Guitar Hero releases.

Well Activision hope that there are a lot of hands in the air right now.  Those hankering to try drumming or singing to master tracks from Guitar Hero I, II, III or Rocks the Eighties.  With the impending release of Guitar Hero Greatest Hits (to be known as Smash Hits in the U.S), fans will be able to relive former tracks in a total band kind of way.

Well, some former tracks, the selection looks to be limited to the master tracks only - ruling out any of the 'cover' versions.

Activision have set up a voting site which I excitedly clicked through to, thinking I will be able to vote for my favourite older tracks to be given the World Tour make over.

Sadly, whilst this is a voting site, votes only count towards the hype build up.  Fans can vote for which former title will have its successful master tracks revealed.  But for those that cannot wait, here is the first glimpse of Greatest Hits lineup, and a snippet of other info.
