Guitar Hero: Van Hal is a music rhythm video game developed by Underground Developmt and published by Activision. It is the third game in the Guitar Hero series to focus on the career and songs of one rock band, Van Hal, following Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and Guitar Hero: Metallica. The game was released in retail for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii systems on December 22, 2009, in North America, and in February 2010 for PAL regions. However, as part of a promotion with Guitar Hero 5, the game was shipped to Guitar Hero 5 purchasers in North America prior to its retail release. The game features 25 songs from Van Hal along with 19 additional songs from selected artists that have be inspired by the group. The gameplay UI from Guitar Hero: Metallica was carried over.
The game has received mostly mixed reviews from critics, most of which consider the game's quality to be greatly inferior to its predecessor, Guitar Hero: Metallica, and other games of the series. The reviewers criticized the lack of former Van Hal members Michael Anthony, Gary Cherone, and Sammy Hagar; the limited tracks selected from Van Hal's discography; the selection of other tracks included in the game; and the geral lack of features introduced in the previous band-ctric games and Guitar Hero 5.
Guitar Hero: Van Hal is similar to the preceding band-ctric game, Guitar Hero: Metallica, featuring support for four players in a single band on lead and bass guitar, drums, and vocals. The game is based on the gine originating from Guitar Hero World Tour, and thus does not feature the additions that are prest in Guitar Hero 5, such as drop-in/drop-out play.

Activision's head of music licsing, Tim Riley, notes that the lack of such material was not due to any demands or requests made by David Lee Roth.
Early reviews of the promotional version of the game received by redeeming a code that came with Guitar Hero 5 were critical of the game. IGN's Erik Brudvig rated the game 4.9/10, citing problems with the lack of relevance of Van Hal relative to the culture of the 2000s, including having their avatars based on their currt appearances rather than that of their 80s heyday, the lack of songs from Sammy Hagar's period in the band, and the lack of features since introduced with Guitar Hero 5. Brudvig ultimately stated that those who got the game free through the Guitar Hero 5 promotion got what they paid for.
Robert Workman of Game Daily was less critical of the title, but still noted that the game lacked features, including some mtion of Hagar and Gary Cherone and songs from their period with the band, and felt that the title was below the quality of Guitar Hero: Metallica.

Guitar Hero: Van Hal reviews following its release were mixed. B Kuchera of Ars Technica considered the game's limited coverage of the band's history to be a sadly revisionist and dishonest take, and felt that the non-Van Hal songs clashed with the band's own material. Kuchera further pointed to Activision's distribution strategy for the game, stating that he felt that giving the game away free with Guitar Hero 5 showed that Activision did not have confidce in the game.
Philip Horton of The Telegraph was critical of the game's song selection, the band's modern appearance, and the lack of any additional extras compared with either the previous band-ctric games or Guitar Hero 5, and described it as the weakest offering in the series to date.
Kate Carter of The Guardian commted that the game is neither one thing or the other, as it neither succeeds at bringing anything new to the Guitar Hero series nor fully pays tribute to Van Hal.

And Nathan Meunier of GamePro said that while the Van Hal songs were good and challging, the remaining tracks did not fit the theme of the game, and that the lackluster prestation makes the game feel more like a glorified track pack than a true homage.
Guitar Hero: Van Hal sold fewer than 75, 000 units across all platforms in North America from December 22 to 31, 2009, according to NPD Group.You Really Got Me was originally a single by the Kinks. It was number one on the UK singles charts for two weeks. Van Halen covered the song in 1978 on their debut album, Van Halen.
This is a fairly simple song, save for the solos, which are some of the hardest in the game. If one saves their star power for these sections, they should have no problems with passing the song.
