Oh, sure, the drums may very well be bitchin’, but I know what you guys are thinking: “The name of the game is Guitar Hero, so what’s that going to do for me?” Well, I’m happy I asked for you. You can see the new axe above, which sports a bevy of top-of-the-line new features. You thought you needed an extra finger before? You may very well need an extra arm by the time we’re through.

Actually, that crack about Rock Band may not be entirely true, as the Guitar Hero III controllers are said to work with the game just as well. But the new features are said to add a little somethin’-somethin’ up in the music creation mode.
