No, your browser is not deceiving you – this is another Guitar Hero 5 Mobile review.
More specifically, it’s a review of the ‘stand-alone expansion’ to Guitar Hero 5 Mobile, accurately titled ‘More Music,’ that has up to 15 more songs on top of the original game's track listing.
Do it againGuitar Hero 5 Mobile, for the hermits who have recently installed an internet connection in their cave, is a rhythm-action game in which the player times button presses to falling notes on screen accompanied by a selection of popular music hall songs.
Guitar Hero 5 Mobile: More Music is exactly the same, only with more songs.
The good news is that, like the original, this doesn’t necessarily mean a ton of MIDI-sounding beepy tracks, as GH5MMM also allows downloading of the ‘proper’ tunes if you’re on a reasonable data plan/wi-fi connection.
This instantly makes songs like Blur’s Song 2, Duran Duran’s Hungry Like the Wolf, and Gorillaz’s Feel Good Inc. far more enjoyable to play along to than pretty much every other competing rhythm-action game on mobile.
Do it againGuitar Hero 5 Mobile: More Music is still one of the best of the mobile rhythm action games out there, mainly due to the better-than-average MIDI scores and option for playing the actual tracks.
For newcomers coming into the game fresh, More Music is definitely the version to pick over the standard GH5, purely because of the extended track listing.
Those that have already purchased the original, however, would be justified in wondering why these extra tracks weren’t included in the first place.
Guitar Hero 5: More Music
Guitar Hero 5 More Music does exactly what it says in the title – adds more tunes to the GH5 track listing – and nothing more. Newcomers are recommended to pick this version over the standard game, but old hands may feel slightly short-changed
