Activision revealed the official box art for Guitar Hero 5 today. To be honest, it's pretty boring considering the colors we saw with Guitar Hero Smash Hits. The logo seems off, as well.

Don’t act surprised - we all knew Guitar Hero 5 was coming, and most likely we’ll see a tenth installment sometime during all of our respective mid-life crises. Activision revealed the official box art for the fifth installment today, and it’s looking a bit, well, lackluster.

    The '5' is totally off, and yeah, it looks super boring/generic. Sure this isn't tentative?

    Wow. How boring. Way to go GH. Not only have you begun to dull the genre with all your shitty games, but you go and make the most boring boxart ever. Here's a cookie.

    Oh yeah, The Beatles: Rock Band is gonna sweep the floor with this shit!

    Why does the box-art matter so much? Doesn't to me.

    They need to stop making these games.....

    Makes it really hard for someone to break into getting into it.

    looks more like an advert than the box art. They should have all the info about the songs on the back, isnt that what the back is for!

    It looks like the cover destined for the $20 bin......which is exactly where I will pick this game up 6 months after it's release.

    It's definitely the cover. I wrote the piece and I got it straight from Activision.
