List of songs in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock
"" is the sixth main game in the "Guitar Hero" series, released by Activision to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii consoles in September 2010. The game was developed by Activision's subsidiary studios RedOctane, Neversoft, and Vicarious Visions; the latter provided support for additional features in the Wii version of the game. Following a decline in sales of music games in 2009, partially due to the large number of music games released that year, Activision scaled back their efforts in the "Guitar Hero" series. "Warriors of Rock" represents the final game developed by RedOctane and Neversoft. Both studios' respective "Guitar Hero" divisions were closed once the game was complete, with key personnel brought into Activision directly for future games. It was initially announced that Vicarious Visions would take over future game development of the "Guitar Hero" series, however due to declining music game sales, all further development of the "Guitar Hero" series was cancelled, until 2015 when "Guitar Hero Live" was released.
Guitar Hero
Many of the "Guitar Hero" games developed for the recent generation of consoles (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii) support downloadable content, allowing players to purchase new songs to play in the respective titles. Songs each cost approximately $2 through the various online stores for the console's platform. Prior to "Guitar Hero 5", downloadable content for earlier games will not work in other games in the series, save for songs from Metallica's "Death Magnetic", which were available for "Guitar Hero III", "World Tour", and "Metallica". Existing "World Tour" downloadable content for "World Tour" will be forward-compatible with "Guitar Hero 5", "Band Hero" and "Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock", and for a small fee, some songs from both "Guitar Hero World Tour" and "Guitar Hero Smash Hits" can be exported to both "Guitar Hero 5" and "Band Hero", limited by music licensing. Activision has also stated that they are considering a monthly subscription service to deliver downloadable content to user for future games. "Guitar Hero World Tour" introduced a music creation mode that will allow players to create and share songs (excluding vocals) via the "GHTunes" service, which was also used in all other "Guitar Hero" games and "Band Hero" since its inclusion. The creation tools were improved with "Guitar Hero 5" and "Band Hero" to allow longer songs and other means of generating songs in real-time.
