It could go under 5-lane drums but I also love the drum sustains. So much more realistic and, granted, I have a (drum) blast doing them.

My favourite feature isn't even on the list. I don't know what it's called, but it's the chords where the notes are added one at a time instead of being all hit at the same time. I love those, they make the songs so much more fun.

I think Neversoft and Vicarious Visions (I have the Wii version) did a fantastic job with the GH franchise. The games were getting better each time, and I think GH5 is an absolutely fantastic offering. I think Bobby Kotick is being a real knob with what he's saying, and the apparent focus of his blame for any problems the GH franchise is having. I think it was more licensing issues (not all songs being importable) and marketing issues (releasing so many games) that were the major problems, not design and development issues.

Anyway, thanks so much Neversoft, I will continue to enjoy these games for a long time. Best of luck to everyone with your continued careers.

Pretty good list. Party Play should've been in there, regardless of whether it was #10 or #1. When I have friends over (or a party, lol), I boot up GH5, press the Yellow button, connect the controllers, and walk away. Also, it takes away that piece of annoyance when you're playing with your buddies and one of them wants to play/doesn't want to play anymore, and you have to go back to the character screen, drop him out, re-do your setlist, etc. Party Play makes it so he pauses, he leaves, and you still play.

Also, the multiple instruments idea was pretty smart, and I was glad it was on the list. Now, I don't aruge with my friends over who's Bass.

I definitely would've included GHStudio, but I wouldn't of made it first (my first spot would have to go to "Truly Difficult Songs" or something). Sure, it's amazing at what it is, but most of GHTunes is people posting "HARDEST GH SONG EVAR" and it's just random out-of-time notes. The ones that top deserve to be in the top are on the top. Also, when I heard you could make your own songs, I thought you could import the audio track of the song and chart it. Now I know this wasn't possible due to copyright issues, but when you cover a song on it, the end result usually sounds nothing like it, which was kind of dissapointing. GHSTudio definitely deserves a spot on the list, but for me, not #1.

Regardless of the lack of Party Play, I agree with the list. I might've changed the order a bit, but it was good.

The following is written by a Rock Band fanboy (er man), but one has bought and played every Neversoft GH game for the Xbox 360.

Nice article, and a solid list (although I personally couldn't care less about GH Tunes, and I don't mean that in any negative way. I just mean it wouldn't rank at #1 for me).

I'm sorry to see Neversoft go, as I 've really liked what's happened to GH with GH5/Band Hero.

Some other Neversoft innovations that I've enjoyed:

The GH5 Song Challenges
The game remembers my hyperspeed settings
Multiple hyperspeed speeds
Song lengths in the song selection area
Updated old charts to reflect new game advancements (i.e. X+ for old songs)
Black highway "cheat"
Metallifacts
I can play as my Xbox Avatar

All great features. However, I'm surprised that being able to revive your band members isn't there. I find it great when I'm playing with my friends as a band just for fun. I just need to hit a few notes and we're all back in action, rather than the whole song stopping. Man, that was a pain until GH5.

A good list, but multiple hyperspeed levels would be a no-argument number one on my list. Seriously a great idea, and allowing different levels for different instruments, fixing it in multi-player and making it an "extra" made it that much better.
