Guitar Hero Smash Hits is a Guitar Hero spin-off game that features a collection of songs from previous releases in the genre, such as Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.
The game’s setlist now supports four players in a full band setup (introduced to the Guitar Hero series in World Tour), an eight-player battle of the band’s design, and all songs are now original recordings from genuine artists and are all playable in Quick Play mode without the need to first complete the career.
Slight adjustments to the gameplay mechanics have also been introduced, including slider notes (again from World Tour) and the Expert+ difficulty setting for drums, carried over from Guitar Hero: Metallica.
