![gh5boxcoversorta580px Report: Only 35 songs from Guitar Hero World Tour work with GH5 [update]](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/09/gh5boxcoversorta580px.jpg "Report: Only 35 songs from Guitar Hero World Tour work with GH5 [update]")
Update: It appears as though Activision itself has answered the question of what songs specifically are importable into Guitar Hero 5 from World Tour (35 songs) as well as Smash Hits (21 songs), via the Activision Customer Support Center. The full list of songs available from each game has been dropped after the break — thanks to everyone for sending this in!
We can’t lie to you, friends — when Activision claimed songs from last year’s Guitar Hero World Tour would be playable in this year’s Guitar Hero 5, we were skeptical. It seems that skepticism proved right, as USA Today reveals that a hair over one third of GHWT’s tracks can be downloaded into the new game. Specifically, just 35 of World Tour’s 86 tracks are playable in GH5, with an unspecified amount of Guitar Hero Smash Hits tracks available “later this Fall.” The licensing fee for those 35 tracks is 280![microsoftpointslogosmall Report: Only 35 songs from Guitar Hero World Tour work with GH5 [update]](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/11/microsoftpointslogosmall.gif "Report: Only 35 songs from Guitar Hero World Tour work with GH5 [update]")
/$3.50 for Xbox 360 and PS3, though it remains unclear whether or not that fee would include Smash Hits‘ tracks when those are released.
We’ve asked Activision for clarification of which tracks specifically are available in GH5 and when Smash Hits will be ready for download, but unfortunately were told that we’d get a release tomorrow with “tons of details.” So this is where we crowdsource things — Guitar Hero 5 owners in the Joystiq Biomass[TM], please let us know which 35 of Guitar Hero World Tour’s 86 tracks are playable!

Guitar Hero 5 DLC not compatible with World Tour
While original Rock Band owners were given the luxury to continue to buy new tracks for the music title even after the release of its sequel, Guitar Hero fans won’t be given the same option when Guitar Hero 5 lands on store shelves. An Activision representative told Destructoid that DLC for the upcoming Guitar Hero 5 will not be compatible with Guitar Hero: World Tour.
According to the Activision rep, Guitar Hero 5 DLC will be compatible with future titles in the franchise, but “advancements and innovations” made to the upcoming music title do not allow for tracks to be backwards compatible with World Tour. Don’t light the torches and grab the pitchforks just yet though, the same reason has been given for The Beatles: Rock Band’s inability to work with previous versions of the game.
Thankfully, Activision has already confirmed tracks from Guitar Hero: World Tour will be compatible with Guitar Hero 5 via an in-game importing process — which adds new features such as band moments, expert+ drumming and the new vocal star power to older tracks.
