Our friends over at Joystiq have gotten their grubby little mitts on a preview copy, and have posted their hands-on impressions with the latest offering in the Guitar Hero franchise, including a decent sized track listing/venue update. I know the track listing is what’s gonna make or break this game for a lot of you, so let’s not waste any time and get to the meat of the subject!

Thanks to the super speedy and informed folks at IGN, we now have final confirmation from Activision that Guitar Hero has gone Quad. (that means four, folks, four)
May 8, 2008 - If you’re a cheap gamer like us at IGN, it probably hurt to pay big bucks to buy all of those guitar accessories you have lying around the house. However, that $70 some-odd you paid for your Guitar Hero controllers must be looking like a bargain now, because Activision has officially announced that a fourth Guitar Hero game will be released in 2008 for all major game consoles. That is in addition to the spin-off Guitar Hero: Aerosmith that will also be launched this year. We know game consoles that have had fewer titles released for them compared to this funky little guitar accessory.
