...Christmas. ==About the Guitar Hero Franchise==
The game is developed by Vicarious Visions and published by RedOctance and Activision, and has now become a franchise of games, with a different version on every console possible nearly. The game has become mass popular all around the world, the first game I believe went to Play station 2 and the game could be played with either the controls on the controller or if you want to pay a bit more money, ... ...screen. ==How is Guitar Hero on Tour (DS) different from the other Guitar Heroes? ==
Unlike Playstation 2 or Wii the game doesn't come with a guitar of its own, instead it comes with a Guitar Grip, this unique piece of equipment fits into the Game Boy Advance slot on the Nintendo DS or DS Lite. To play the game you use the guitar pick stylus to strum across the touch screen while holding down the fret buttons. There are also only four buttons on ...

...will be talking about the guitar grip as well. If you have already read my Guitar Hero on Tour review, a lot of this may seem similar. It's not going to be a copy of the original review, but as it is pretty much the same game so things like the Instructions and the Guitar Grip will be pretty similar. I hope this is not against the rules, as I don't want to leave it out, just because some people may have not read my other review and I don't want to ... ...already used any of the guitar hero franchise you will feel the same premise with this version. It uses the same sort of things but just on a different console. To play the game you just have to press the frets and strum in time to the notes on screen. It may sound simple but it does take a lot of skill to work your way up to expert
==Basic Play (For all different stages of the game) ==
To play the game, it doesn't matter if you start of on practise, ...

...I became sucked into the Guitar Hero franchise. Hell, it's going to be the only chance I have on playing a guitar at a top level. Like all the other Guitar Hero games you will need the hand grip(the strap which holds your hand in the right position and where your playing buttons are). You can get this as part of a set for £17.98 from Amazon but if you already own the grip the game on its own will cost you £14.99. The format is all very simple.

...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 ... ...it anywhere, as all other guitar hero games on other consoles are bulky. To use the Guitar Grip you insert it into the DS and you then hold the game horizontally and watch the notes scroll down on the top screen that you have to play. You then have to press the correct colour buttons at the correct time as you strum the touch screen, to get the best score you have to make sure that you do not miss any of the notes.
With various playing options from ...

Advantages: DS only tracks, new 'blow' features, improved guitar battles Disadvantages: Some users may find the palm strap annoying and uncomfortable
...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 ... ...with added extras such as guitar duels and having to blow into the mic to put your amp out when it sets on fire! You can also play as guitar and as bass.
Tracks from bands such as Skid Row, Twisted Sister, Nirvana, Ozzy and KISS make this worth buying for any true Guitar Hero fanatic, as you can't get them anywhere else on any other Guitar Hero release.
The best thing about Guitar Hero on DS is that for those who are unable to complete the original ...

Advantages: Fun, portable, new songs Disadvantages: Hurts wrist after long usage
...couple of people to play Guitar Hero: On Tour for the Nintendo DS. I have to say, RedOctane have done it again and have miracously crafted Guitar Hero to fit on such a small console with great detail.
Seeing as this game is portable, it's a fun game to play if don't want to hook up all the wires and have to move around much. It's a fun, unique game which as it quotes on the box, you can 'Rock Out Anywhere, Anytime!'
The game works by inserting ... ...also get the main DS Guitar Hero attachment which has the guitar colour buttons. It also have a guitar pick stylus which you use to strum across the touch-screen of the DS. Also, as an extra bonus goodie, you get Guitar Hero stickers =] Everybody likes a sticker.
First time I put it into my DS, I was excited and raring to go as i bought it for $50 excluding tax in Nintendo World. When it got to the main interface, I was quite surprised how they ...

...excitement as I love the Guitar Hero games for the playstation and the Xbox. However Guitar Hero D.S didnt really give me the challenge or the thrill that I normally get from playing these games. So What Went Wrong? The first thing I noticed that was disappointing about this game was the fact that there was only four buttons to play with instead of the usual five on the other consoles. This made gameplay a lot more dull and not as challenging as ... ...same price as the other guitar hero games for other consoles at around £30-40. With the faults I have previously described with this reveiw I would have expected to pay less for this game. Whats Right About it? The song list is ok in this game with some great songs included, some of these are: All The Small Things - Blink 182 Spiderwebs - No Doubt All Star - Smash Mouth Breed - Nirvana Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar This Love - Maroon 5 ...

Advantages: Brilliant portabillity lets the rock demon inside of you play where ever he wants. Disadvantages: Unfortunaly your hands start to hurt after long playing hours.
Guitar Hero on the Nintendo DS? Yes Vicarious Visions have finally brought this classic to the Nintendo DS in the form of Guitar Hero: On Tour. After the success of their other games on the big consoles will Guitar Hero still be a hit on the DS? In my opinion yes it will. After playing the game solidly for the last week, I still havent died from repetitive boredom which is more than i can say about a few recent releases on the Nintendo DS.
The sound ... ...for instance the PS3 verison. Guitar Hero: On Tour's tracklist consists of 26 songs, most of which are new to the series. Most of On Tour's songs are performed by the original artists with only a few being cover songs. As a final word I would like mention the fact the my hands are black and blue from button smashing bruises. Dont let this put you off though, it really is worth a buy :)
