Raise your hand if you remember Revolution X, the Aerosmith arcade game in which you defeated your enemies with the power of rock n roll. No? I have a feeling I'm alone on this one, so let me explain: Revolution X was a 1994 side-scrolling rail shooter where you had to rescue the band from a gang of kidnappers calling themselves the New Order Nation, who were also intent on banning all forms of music, video games, and fun in general. Some of my fondest memories include feeding the game fistfuls of quarters on the Jersey Shore boardwalk, while my friends impatiently waited to ride the Zipper and other such vomit-inducing rides.
Revolution X wasn't a big hit, but that isn't stopping Aerosmith from trying to appeal to the gaming world once again. Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is a full-fledged new installment to the Guitar Hero series, featuring the band's greatest hits and beyond. But this is no slapdash attempt to rake in more sales, like many feel Guitar Hero Rocks the 80's was.

band and all, but I don't think I'd enjoy playing just their songs
on Guitar Hero. I'm glad they have other bands on it as well.
Should be fun.
