Guitar Hero: Smash Hits? Hit or Miss?

I never bought a Guitar Hero game before. In fact I bought the first Rock Band and loved it. Before you guys jump on me about playing real instruments, I'm a vocalist and guitarist and was part of a band until tensions flared.

I vouched I wouldn't buy a Guitar Hero game until it provided all the instruments and I was so psyched and pre-ordered Guitar Hero 4: World Tour. I thought the cheat for all the songs was an added bonus, but it was just to make up for disappointment. Only a couple of the songs are worth playing, and otherwise they're tiring and boring. It sort of even killed the vibe of Rock Band for me.

I would play the old Guitar Hero games on display in game stores and some of the older games were amazing. This has a bunch of tracks from the older games that were a lot of fun. However, in lieu of the really crappy excuse for a game that was GH4, I wanted to know if this game is any good.

P.S. If you're a hardcore fan saying they're outplayed, I can't relate to you so please don't explain that logic.

P.P.S. There are only a few reviews and they're looking optimistically bad, like GH4's (it got an 8, and only the people accepting the bribes know why).
Guitar Hero 4 had that sh*tty online play where it only worked one instrument at a time. How's the online play for Smash Hits?
As in can you play with a full band online with members joining like in Rock Band? I know the atmospheres/backgrounds are nice too in this game. What about using the drum pads to navigate instead of the control pad, and failing out (can you save others now?).

    For sure a miss. It's just a quick scam to get money. They probably had problems getting musicians to let them use their songs so they're re-doing the ones they already have licenses for.
