Guitar Hero 5 (Wii)

To do: Get info about the debug data. Make article for PS3/360 version.

Guitar Hero 5 is the fifth main installment in the Guitar Hero series, adding in new features like Party Play, which basically amounts to the all the songs and DLC on shuffle mode; Rockfest mode, a variety of competitive modes; importing soundtracks from previous games, just like Rock Band, but you could only import a little under half of the previous games' on-disc soundtracks, and all DLC from World Tour (except for the two Jimi Hendrix DLC packs); and Challenges in career mode, where you could earn in-game items by performing certain objectives, whether on a specific intrument or for the whole band.

Unused Charts#

To do: Verify some things, check for audio of Beautiful People in PS2/Wii, and if it exists in the 360 version.

Under the DATA/files/songs folder, there are a handful of charts that are not used in the game. Most of these lack audio.

The video on the right features the song being played as a custom on Warriors of Rock.
