The Guitar Hero 5, which arrived without much pomp& show, has proved to be a very good music game.

The Guitar Hero 5 includes most tracks from the 1990s and current decade.

The Guitar Hero 5 proved to be very tough against The Beatles: Rock Band, which had entered the market around Beatlemania hype.

It may be noed here that the designers of the Guitar Hero 5, called Harmonix, are no longer involved in the franchise and now make a competing Rock band series for MTV instead.

Michael Sportouch, chief of the Guitar Hero franchise in Europe, claimed that they had been leading the category.

Michael Sportouch further added, "So far on Guitar Hero we have a very strong sell through curve and sell through ratio and we want to ensure that continue to stimulate demand."

The Guitar Hero, which is controlled by the publisher Activision, is now developed by a different studio, named Neversoft.
