Guitar Hero 5 Dated, Goes Head to Head with The Beatles
Written Tuesday, May 26, 2009 by Dan Webb
Activision today unveilied their brand spanking
new Guitar Hero 5 site and with it comes a shock revelation.
The official Guitar Hero 5 site comes fresh with a new sweepstake Activision are running in the build up to the game's release, as well as an official release date, September 1st 2009. That release date on its own wouldn't be too bad, but it's a blatent attempt to beat MTV's The Beatles: Rock Band out the door which lands worldwide on September 9th.
You could call it ballsy, arrogant or just plain stupid. We're leaning towards the latter because when it comes down to it, we'll be choosing The Beatles game every day of the week over Guitar Hero 5. Why? Because they are possibly the greatest band to ever grace the planet. Duh!
Guitar Hero 5 will hit stores on September 1st of this year.
