Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock has over 90 tracks, including guitar shredding hits from bands like Black Sabbath, Megadeth, and Slipknot, as well as larger-than-life anthems from Queen, Muse, and KISS. Warriors of Rock, the sixth full title in the original play-along rock & roll series, takes Guitar Hero virtual virtuosos on a voyage of metal-inspired fantasy.
In the game’s Quest mode, players take control of eight different characters as they evolve into heroic warriors in a world of studded black leather and dark gothic undertones. Characters employ their unique special powers to complete rock performance challenges and advance the plot toward an epic conflict that will decide the fate of the Demigod of Rock, as well as the fate of rock & roll itself. Warriors of Rock arrives in stores with the largest out-of-the-box playlist in the Guitar Hero series, featuring more than 90 songs from musicians such as Black Sabbath, Kiss, Megadeth, Anthrax, Def Leppard, and Soundgarden. Hits by Dire Straits, The Cure, Queen, and The Rolling Stones are also included.
A Quickplay option gives players fast access to the Rock Warrior characters’ special abilities outside of the Quest narrative. Players can perform any guitar, bass, drums, and vocals in Party Play and other traditional Guitar Hero modes. The initial retail release of the PS3 version of the game also includes a hard-rock-themed guitar controller and a “Complete” edition that includes a microphone and guitar, bass, and drum controllers.
