Guitar Hero World Tour is the first iteration of the fracnchise that includes full band functionality, it may seem like it is catching up with Rock Band but the overall package is quite impressive. Having played both Rock Band and Guitar Hero instruments, I can say that the Guitar Hero instruments are definitely better than the Rock Band ones overall, but not in every way. The Guitar Hero drum pad is very sturdy and the rubber drum pads feel very good to play as they give a good bounce. However the same cannot be said for the cymbals and the pedal, the cymbals are very flimsy and you have to hit them near the middle to get a good hit detection, the pedal ...  Read the complete review

Guitar Hero World Tour XBOX 360 I brought the bundle of this game when it was 1st released. The bundle contains one wireless guitar controller, drum kit, microphone and the World Tour Game. I had never played any of these games before, so for the 1st 5 minutes of playing just sat there looking at the screen in panic! You can play the game alone or with friends, in my opinion its much better with others. You can choose your own set list from the songs which are already unlocked, play a career (this is how you unlock more songs) or play head to head against a friend. The controllers are all well made and from my experience do ...  Read the complete review

Despite getting a slamming from Jack White and Jimmy Page earlier today, I am sticking firm with my high opinion of Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero is a video game where the objective is to play through well known rock songs. This is achieved using a guitar hero guitar (or other guitar hero controller such as drums) where you have to press down the coloured buttons that come up on screen and strum a strum bar. The game looks a bit pointless if you are watching it, let alone if you are just reading this online and it really is something that you have to do yourself to appreciate. There are a wide variety of difficulty levels, and at the highest difficulty level a ...  Read the complete review

Guitar Hero World Tour is a brilliant game that will amuse you for hours to come. I recieved the full band version for christmas this year and had to literally restrain myself from opening it up before the 25th. 3 months on and I am still playing it nearly everyday. The track list is well picked with lots of songs that everyone will know including :- Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor and Living On A Prayer by Bon Jovi. The only disadvantage is that some of the songs that were included I had never heard of before and to buy some extra songs on Xbox Live cost me around £4.99 for 500 microsoft points and this will buy 3 songs. The song list on Xbox Live Marketplace has very good  Read the complete review

Guitar Hero World Tour: One small step for the genre, one giant leap for Guitar Hero. The whole Guitar Hero conflict with Activision and Neversoft is a long one, but to be frank the makers of Guitar Hero 1 and 2 got into an argument with Activision and so they moved onto Rock Band while Neversoft stuck with Guitar Hero and made GH3. With Rock Band out the same time as GH3, Rock Band performed better with its instrument focused gameplay on the band. Don't get me wrong, GH3 rocked my socks off with its insane difficulty and wealth of improvements, but Rock Band had so much more innovation. So, the next step for Guitar Hero and Neversoft was obvious-bring the ...  Read the complete review
