    Anybody who picked up Guitar Hero 5 shortly after release had the chance to snag Guitar Hero Van Halen for free through a promotion. They got what they paid for. For everybody else that might be looking to Guitar Hero Van Halen in stores, stay away. No effort was put into making it good. It's a step backwards for the franchise and a totally unnecessary release.

    Van Halen balances uncomfortably on a fence of its own creation. The band isn't riding a recent successful revival to pull in newcomers
