Guitar Hero 5 Cheats

Remember the days where you had to quickly hammer out cheats as the game booted up, and if made any mistakes it was just one frustrating reset after another? Well, those days are gone. Guitar Hero 5 makes using cheats easy by including an actual cheats menu. Enter these button combinations at that menu to achieve the desired effects. It’s so easy, even your girlfriend can do it. And you use the instruments to input the cheats, so you won’t have to worry about any Wii Remote accidents.
