The game is so much more user friendly this go round. They have made it so that you can drop in and out of a song without having to start your entire career over. If a song is one you do not like you do not have to learn it. The improvements are noticeable in this version of Guitar Hero.

Guitar Hero 5 will feature master recordings from over 85 different artists, including 30 that have never appeared in a rhythm game. These artists range from the "hottest bands of today and the biggest classic acts."http://kotaku.com/5259316/guitar-hero-5-brings-new-look-new-features-and-new-bands Guitar Hero 5 Brings New Look, New Features, And New Bands] (May 18, 2009)

Much like Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero Metallica, the game lets up to four players jam together. This time around, however, the players aren't limited to one guitarist, one bassist, one vocalist and one drummer. Each player can play any instrument they want. That's right. There can be four drummers or four singers. Players can join in or drop out of the game at any time, in any mode including career.

For the first time in the series, there are a variety of challenges aimed at getting players to battle against each other. In Rockfest mode, for example, all four players go head-to-head trying to collect the most points by playing flawlessly.

Two more added features: all songs are unlocked at the start of the game and all music downloaded in previous game can be imported into GH5.Kotaku: Guitar Hero 5: Four of Anything (May 15, 2009)
