Playable celebs dropped from Guitar Hero 6

Past Guitar Hero characters to return.

According to an Official Xbox Magazine preview of Guitar Hero 6, the latest instalment in the hit franchise will ditch playable celebrity characters, instead allowing players to recruit real life legends and unlock their alter egos - Metallica's Lars Ulrich becomes Warrior Lars.

The magazine also reveals the game will support previously released DLC, while the new set list will feature a much bigger focus on rock 'n' roll. Queen, Kiss and Black Sabbath are confirmed, and Gene Simmons will narrate the new Quest mode.

The game's scheduled for release in the autumn and we can expect to see a lot more at E3 next month.

Rag Doll is my favourite song on GH:Aerosmith. GH5 is a lot of fun, guyderman, I'm sure you won't regret it. The challenges add a lot of... intensity... to the game as well. ;)

Just seen that there Love in an Elevator, Rag Doll and Livin' on the Edge by Aerosmith are available as DLC tomorrow - with how good some of the DLC has been on GH5 over the past few months it is time for me to finally pick it up!

Dammit. I actally really enjoyed the inclusion of (some) of the real people - Slash, Joe Perry, Lemmy and the like. To me, that added to the whole over-the-top silliness which makes the GH series a touch more fun (in my opinion) than Rock Band.

Ah well, as long as the leaked Money For Nothing is there (and given Sulatans of Swing on GH5 I think it is a safe bet) then I will preorder as soon as I can.

Now this sounds better. Queen, Kiss & Sabbath = me buying the game and guitar. I wouldn't buy the whole kit as I'm more of a guitar person. My friend has the kit so I'll most probably go over to his for them beers whilst being wanna be rockstars ;) lol
