New details for the Rockfest feature in Guitar Hero 5 have been released.

Speaking to 1UP, Neversoft's Brian Bright announced what we can expect to see in the multiplayer aspect of the game.

The game types can be played individually or in teams with the option of playing one at a time or creating a set list to play through the different options.

Rockfest will feature drop in/drop out gameplay so extra players can join mid-song without interrupting the game.

Guitar Hero 5 will be released at the beginning of September featuring 85 songs and support for 360 Avatars.

The following game types have been confirmed:

• Momentum -- All players begin at medium difficulty and go up in difficulty when they hit 20 notes in a row. But they go down in difficulty after missing three notes.
• Streakers -- You get points for getting note streaks. One point for the first 10 note streak, two for reaching 20, three for 30, and so on.
• Perfectionist -- The player with the top percentage of notes hit in each section (intro, solo, chorus, etc...) gets four points for that section, second place gets two, third gets one.
• Do or Die -- If you miss three notes in a section (intro, chorus, verse, etc.) you are out until the start of the next section.
• Elimination -- The song is divided depending on length and number of players. 30 seconds or so in, a timer pops up. When it reaches zero the player with the lowest score is cut, and the last man standing wins.
• Pro Face-Off -- A classic head- to-head score battle.
