The story in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is criticized for being a cheesy quest mode that fails to engage players meaningfully, with a lackluster credits sequence and a steep learning curve that may deter beginners. Ultimately, the narrative feels secondary to the game's set list, which is where the true appeal lies.
“The cheesy quest mode storyline and lame credits sequence make it difficult for beginners to enjoy the game.”
