US rock band Aerosmith have finally been 'immortalised' in Activision's video game Guitar Hero.

The game features 30 of the band's most well-known hits such as Love in an Elevator and Sweet Emotion.

It also includes songs from various artists Aerosmith performed and collaborated with over the years, including Run DMC's Walk This Way and I Hate Myself for Loving You by Joan Jett.

The Aerosmith game is the first Guitar Hero edition that focuses on an individual rock band. The previous three versions of the game featured various rock music genres that ranged from grunge, classic rock, metal, punk and 80s hits.

Charles Huang, co-founder of Activision's RedOctane unit, which oversees the Guitar Hero franchise said: "This is an experiment for us...there are certain artists that have so much great music like Aerosmith, Metallica and Van Halen...but we wanted to do something much bigger."

During the game's creation, band members spent two weeks performing in a motion capture studio in order for their video game figures to move exactly as the group performs on stage.
