Electronic Theatre reports on the announcement that the forthcoming Guitar Hero 5 will allow players to utilise their Xbox 360 Avatars in-game, alongside traditional characters and celebrity avatars.

When Xbox 360 fans take home Guitar Hero 5 on September 1st, 2009, they’ll be able to import their Avatars, choose their instrument and play along with their personalized characters rocking out to any track on the epic eighty five song setlist. Taking full advantage of the latest technology available from Xbox LIVE, gamers can choose their band mates and mix and match their Xbox Avatars with Guitar Hero favourites like Judy Nails, Axel Steel and Lars Ümlaüt, or even rip it up alongside in-game talent.
