Guitar Hero has become practically a household name and if you’ve not played it, you most likely at least know what it is. This year’s installment of the series is trying to take away a piece of the pie that Rock Band has... Read more

Guitar Hero World Tour brings it with lots of great customization, online modes, plenty of music, and plenty to do. If the idea of creating your own music is incredibly appealing to you then look no further than World Tour... Read more
- Awesome customization, song creation is interesting
- Still a little rough around the edges, packed-in drums can be shoddy.

Overall, Guitar Hero World Tour is every bit as enjoyable and good as the competition. The new guitar has a great feel to it and features the slide strip that is fun to play around with. Read more
- The new guitar is bigger and looks/works great. You can download user created content due to the new music studio. The drums look real nice and also work great. It’s great to finally have a full-band supported Guitar Hero....
- Some of the songs on disc we already played on the other music-based game not very long ago. It’s going to take a while for the music store to build up alot of content. The drum’s bass pedal slid around on me during gamepl...

While the microphone doesn’t add much to the Guitar Hero World Tour experience (other than the ability to sing of course), the drums are an excellent addition and probably my favorite instrument overall. Read more
- The drum set is a well-throughout addition, and the microphone is solid as well., The larger size of the guitar is better, and the touch slider is a good idea that’s decent in its current execution., Music Studio is deep a...
- The touch slider on the guitar needs some sensitivity fine-tuning, and perhaps raised bumps to help keep fingers oriented without looking., The bass pedal can move a bit during gameplay, and the cymbals seem a little flims...

Guitar Hero has the more innovative drum and guitar hardware and a promising custom music feature. But, snazzier instruments and a tricked-out music studio don’t guarantee triple platinum success. Read more

Overall, Guitar Hero World Tour is a good showing and a nice addition to the genre. Unfortunately, the developers didn't spend nearly enough time on the interface to make it truly great. Read more
- Great set list and killer instruments.
- Crappy user interface and under-thought gameplay.

You start off picking your rocker’s gender, then a genre like death metal, punk, rock, etc. You can edit the face and body fairly robustly, but the overall look matches the stylized look you’ve become familiar with from... Read more
