{{GameInfobox |image = GuitarHeroSmashHitsX360.jpg |developer = Beenox |publisher = Activision |genre = Rhythm |ratings = ESRB-T |platforms = PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii |na_rel = {{Release|2009|June|16|NA}} |eu_rel = {{Release|2009|June|26|EU}} |au_rel = {{Release|2009|June|24|AU}} |media = DVD-ROM }} '''Guitar Hero: Smash Hits''' is a game released for the [[PlayStation 2]],[[Xbox 360]], [[PlayStation 3]], and [[Nintendo Wii]]. The game is a collection of songs from [[Guitar Hero]], [[Guitar Hero II]], [[Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s]], and [[Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock]], with band support. == Gameplay == ''Guitar Hero: Smash Hits'' plays similar to ''Guitar Hero World Tour'', featuring support for a four-instrument band: lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, and vocal. In addition to using master recordings for each song, the songs have been charted to use gameplay features introduced in ''World Tour'' including the open bass strumming & slider sections for intense solos using the touchpad on the guitar bundled with World Tour. Certain songs have been recharted or remixed to be more accessible to the full band; for example, "I Love Rock N Roll" includes a drum and vocals solo without guitar portions that were omitted in the original ''Guitar Hero'', while the piano introduction in "Killer Queen" is tapped out by the lead guitar player. The game borrows gameplay and graphical elements from ''Guitar Hero: Metallica'', including the "Expert+" difficulty level using two bass drum pedals and the rearrangement of on-screen meters for band mode. ''Smash Hits'' includes a Music Studio creation mode and is compatible with the "GHTunes" custom song sharing service present in ''World Tour'' and ''Metallica''. ''Smash Hits'' also includes all the game modes present in ''World Tour'', including single player and band career modes, and the eight-player "Battle of the Band" mode. The game presents a story sequence that ties in with the Career mode, as has been present in more recent ''Guitar Hero'' games. In ''Smash Hits'', the players are challenged by the "God of Rock" to play at venues at various Wonders of the World in order to charge a power artifact; it is revealed later that the God of Rock is actually Lou the Devil in disguise seeking the power of the artifact, the real God trapped by Lou. The player's band is able to discover Lou's deception and free the God of Rock; the band then rejects the God of Rock's offer of ascension to immortality, instead wanting to return to Earth to continue to rock. After completing each venue, the players earn venue-specific clothing to customize their avatars. The career mode follows the same star-tier system used in ''Metallica'', requiring players to earn a fixed number of stars to proceed from one tier to the next. As with ''Guitar Hero: Metallica'', all songs are available to play in Quickplay mode without unlocking them through the career mode. ==Gallery== <gallery> Image:GuitarHeroSmashHitsX360.jpg|Xbox 360 Boxart Image:GuitarHeroSmashHitsWii.jpg|Nintendo Wii Boxart </gallery> {{Guitar Hero series}}
