'Guitar Hero' to Get Drums, Vocals, and Downloadable Songs

by Terrence O'Brien on April 24, 2008 at 07:10 AM



Sure people were excited to see Slash in 'Guitar Hero III,' but 'Rock Band' stole Activision's thunder when it debuted with tons of dowloadable content and additional instruments. But in an interview in Conde Nast Portfolio, Activision CEO, Bobby Kotick, revealed that Rock Band wont be alone for long in the drums and microphone as video game accessory market.

Also, this June will see the release of 'Guitar Hero: Aerosmith,' which should usher 'Guitar Hero III' into the downloadable content era. The potential for downloadable tracks is doubly exciting with the pending merger between Activision and Vivendi Universal on the horizon, giving the guitar game series access to the stable of labels and acts under the Universal Music Group banner.
