Guitar Hero On Tour (DS)

After hearing what people were saying about the guitar hero on various game consoles, I thought that it sounds like fun, so I decided that I would ask for it for christmas (at the time, I didn't have a lot of money). When you first get it, you have to remember (in some cases) to re-configure your nintendo DS, as otherwise, the touch screen wont be able to pick when you tap the screen with the plectrum shaped stylus. You can chose between 25 songs altogether, going from the more easier songs like No doubt, to Ozzy Osbourne one of the more difficult songs. AS you progress further in the game, you will unlock various 'awards' like new songs, guitars ...  Read the complete review

When I found out the plans that Guitar Hero was going to be released on the Nintendo DS I laughed. When I seen the promotional trailer of Guitar Hero on the Nintendo DS with people strumming away on their handhelds I laughed even harder! One day not long after Guitar Hero On Tour got released I seen a member of staff in GAME playing around with it. I sniggered and walk up to him and asked him how it was. He showed me and gave me it to try, but I refused to begin with and watched him play some more - I still remembered how foolish the people looked on the promo trailer and not to mention how stupid this guy looked right in front of me! I tried my best not to ...  Read the complete review

Of all the possible incarnations, the DS version of Guitar Hero seems like the most unlikely. How could a game be adapted for a portable console, when its trademark peripheral is a plastic guitar?? Of course, the answer is simple. Or is it? Guitar Hero On Tour on the DS is controlled using a small, plastic device that you plug in to the cartridge slot. An innovative solution, but problematic from the outset. This colourful little 4-buttoned device at first appears to do the job admirably - it even has a velcro strap to keep your hand in place. Unfortunately, playing this game is, after a while, ridiculously uncomfortable. I mean, it's just silly... ...  Read the complete review

For Christmas this year I was given the limited edition Guitar hero Nintendo DS which comes with the Guitar Hero on Tour game, I was not disappointed this is a great game. Guitar Hero is a game that has taken the world by storm and is available in a format for every games console. They have done really well to create the game on the DS, especially as they are unable to create a big guitar to connect to you DS to make you feel like a real rockstar. The guitar grip works well with the compact console and is great as you can take it anywhere, as all other guitar hero games on other consoles are bulky. To use the Guitar Grip you insert it into the DS ...  Read the complete review

Being an avid fan of the previous Guitar Hero games, my name was one of the first on the pre-order list. My little bundle of joy arrived through my letter box yesterday morning (the day after the release date) delivered from HMV.com with free delivery, totalling £26.99 (with student discount). In the box, you get the add-on part with the coloured buttons that you insert into the GameBoy Advance slot on your DS, a seperate attachement that you have to use if you are using an old style DS, a plectrum stylus, the game catridge, a game case, two sticker sheets and the instructions - though don't ask me what they say, I figured I would work everything out along the ...  Read the complete review
