Enough With the Band Games Already!

It seems that the next game in the Guitar Hero series will be Guitar Hero: Van Halen, at least according to Gamers Daily News.

Now I don’t know about you, but I find the single-band games to be exceptionally tedious. I didn’t like the Aerosmith edition of Guitar Hero at all. Most of the appeal of the original Guitar Hero games was the wide variety of rock music that they contained. (Well, with the exception of the Nirvana tracks.)

Rocks the 80′s wasn’t great, but it was still better than a game in which 80% of the tracks came from the same band. At least within a decade, there was some variety–that game had everything from Dio to Skid Row. When most of the tracks are from one band, it gives the game a rather strong consistency, and turns beating it into a brutal grind.

Is anyone actually excited for this? Or are you like me, and would prefer that they stop making these single-band games?
