AWARDS:
Golden Joystick Award for Music Game of the Year

Guitar Hero V features the best variety and biggest rock stars of today combined with classic rock anthems. For the first time ever, players can customize the make-up of their band by rocking with any combination of instruments in-game: whether it be two guitars and two drums, or three guitars and a microphone, any combination is possible, allowing players to experience music their own way.

BLACK SUN SERVICES: MARKETING & LICENSING
Black Sun was responsible for the licensing and integration of three footwear brands, Vans, Doc Marten’s and Converse, into the game. Black Sun created and managed a multi-level sponsor partnership program that leverages in-game product placement and branding in exchange for cross promotional support of the game both pre and post launch. This resulted in over ten million additional impressions for the game.
