[Crushinator]

Long story short:

• Full band set up like Rock Band, Guitar, Bass, Vocal, Drums
• Character creation/customization inspired by THPS and Tiger Woods.
• Create-a-song mode and "Freestyle" mode where you can play your own tunes to songs already in the game.
• Drum controller has 6 buttons, 3 toms, 2 cymbals, and the bass pedal.
• Activate drum Star Power by hitting both cymbals at once to begin a drum fill.
• No more licensed guitars, but you can make your own custom guitar now.
• Your custom character can freely switch between all 4 instruments
• Full bass career mode
• Nooby "strum only" Rhythm guitar mode for little kids or old people who want to join in the fun but suck.
• You can earn cash playing online (Online career mode confirmed?)
• Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park, and Sublime confirmed on the songlist (and Dream Theater?)
• Going for a wider variety of music, not mainly sticking to metal like the previous GHs.
• Every song is a master track, no covers.

PICK IT UP! The freestyle and creation stuff sounds pretty cool. My computer wasn't able to load the program that let's you do that on Guitar Hero 2, so it'll be cool to give it a try.

Oh snap! New vid on gametrailers. I'm actually pretty psyched about this. Rock Band didn't really grab my attention like this one has.
