Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, the latest installment of the Guitar Hero video game franchise, will be released on the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii video game consoles.
The Guitar Hero franchise set an industry record, surpassing $1 billion in North American retail sales in just 26 months.
"Slated for release this June, this latest installment from the franchise with the #1 best-selling video game in 2007 puts players in the shoes of Perry (guitar), Whitford (guitar), and Hamilton (bass), as they rock out alongside frontman Tyler and drummer Kramer," said an Activision press release.
