Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock brings with it more than just 90 new tracks (see below) and some additional game modes; it'll include the biggest controller redesign since the original title in the franchise. And it's axelicious. While new Guitar Hero games will continue to be backward compatible with older guitars—all of the buttons remain unchanged—the new wireless controllers have consolidated all of the electronics into the neck and fretboard, leaving the body free of any responsibilities beyond aesthetics. Without any integrated circuitry, you can swap these guitar bodies at will, which attach to the fretboard in two-part wing formation. The lead shot is the standard controller that will come with the game. This second guitar is a axe design, which will be available exclusively later this year. Below you can find pictures of both guitars.

The game will boast the biggest on-disc track listing of any rhythm game, just like every new Guitar Hero release does, including a track written and recorded by Dave Mustaine of Megadeth especially for the game's quest mode. There's even a new guitar controller in the works, inspired by the game's new art style.
