Activision reveals Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, gives free DLC to celebrate

In a previous article, we reported on a rumor that Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and Wii will be arriving this June. Well, you might want to know that this rumor has been confirmed. To celebrate this announcement, Activision announced that it will be giving away a free song for Guitar Hero III: Heroes of Rock (Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, Wii, PC). For more information, head on over to the full article.

It’s no secret that Guitar Hero III: Heroes of Rock (Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, Wii, PC)is one of the most popular games in the market right now. Activision, not content to rest on the game’s success, has finally confirmed that it has teamed up with Aerosmith and will be launching Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and Wii this June.

Aerosmith front man Steve Tyler spoke about this collaboration. He pointed out that Aerosmith’s diverse line-up of songs made them the perfect choice for Activision. To be honest, we can’t say we disagree with his assessment:

Any band that can go from Don’t Want to Miss A Thing (Aerosmith’s #1 smash hit) to the ass-kicking Sweet Emotion to the cheekiness of ‘Love in an Elevator,’ to the classic ballad Dream On shows why Activision chose us to headline this game based on the diversity of the Aerosmith catalog. Not only is songwriting a bitch, but then it goes and has puppies.

To celebrate this collaboration, Activision will be giving Guitar Hero III: Heroes of Rock fans a chance to download Aerosmith’s Dream On for free. The song should be available from February 16 to 18 on the Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Store.
