Wait, you're one of the people that thinks that because a lot of people like something, it must be good?

Not that the people who finally put out the games are any better, mind. Both sold well, but markedly below expectations. It's like they only picked up these games expecting a quick buck or something.

Which is a shame. Tim Schafer's fanbase should be sterilised, not encouraged.

Guitar Hero 5 is a pretty damn good game.

If you want a more mainstream answer, look at the songs they put on the discs.

Except Activision's model has been damaging the success of the franchise, as well as the genre itself. I'd say that this goes both to the mentality of "why keep making/buying _________" And also demonstrates why this is generally not how game companies work.

Guitar Hero is not Madden. Most games are not yearly franchises, for that matter. Yearly installments are contributing to a stagnant game environment.

Pretty sure most of the people who play call of duty would never be mistaken for a frat boy.
