Guitar Hero: World Tour (Xbox 360)

Guitar Hero. Almost every gamer in the world has heard of this particular series of button-mashing finger-blistering music games. The relatively surprising success of the graphically atrocious and slightly tetchy first game (honestly, who has actually mastered the hammer-on system in GH1?) spawned two sequels and two genre-specific expansion-style games before reaching the Rock Band clone I'm reviewing today, with the two sequels being adored nearly ...
...concept behind Guitar Hero is very simple. You hold a guitar shaped controller with five buttons on the fret bar, hold one down, and strum by pushing a small bar up or down. Simple to learn but insanely difficult to master, as anybody who's ever attempted to five-star some of the more tricky songs will tell you. Guitar Hero: World Tour (hereafter GHWT, because I'm lazy) brings something new to the series by... well, by rather shamelessly ripping ...

Review of Guitar Hero: World Tour (Xbox 360)

...disc, the disc and the guitar and the complete set which has a guitar (wireless), drums (wireless) and microphone (wired). I purchased the Guitar & Disc version for my fiance for around £59.99 from HMV just before Christmas. This was the cheapest that I had seen the game advertised and after Christmas it was available for somewhere between £30-£40 in various high street stores as part of their post Christmas Sales. The game has many songs on it (which ...
...your guitar or whatever you like. The aim of the game is to become a guitar hero and play along in one of the five difficulty modes (Beginner, Easy, Medium, Hard & Expert!). You have five notes on the guitar, yellow, green, blue, red & orange which you use to play in time with the music. You have to press the notes and strum the strum bar to hit the right note. The guitar we received also comes with a whammy bar which you can use for the long notes ...

Review of Guitar Hero: World Tour (Xbox 360)

...addition to the increasingly popular Guitar Hero series. The main new feature is the option to play on bass, sing or play the drums which increases the longevity of this game no ends. It also makes the multiplayer element much more enjoyable and is perfect for parties. There is a vast library of songs to choose from and I'd say something for everyone. From the classic rock of Jimmi Hendrix to the grunge of Nirvana and the punk pop of Blink-182. There ...
...weak point. Also, the scoreboards are a bit harder to navigate and it only keeps the top three high scores which is a bit annoying. In terms of variety, innovative gameplay and choice of songs, Guitar Hero: World Tour has a lot to offer and is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. ...

Review of Guitar Hero: World Tour (Xbox 360)

...my first title in the guitar hero series. I was going to get the full package with microphones and drum kit, but it would have cost another £60 of my hard earned money. I also had the lips game so naively believed that the mikes from that game would work easily enough. Well they don't which is a shame and the mikes aren't a cheap option either. The guitar itself looks good, but the buttons do have a bad habbit of sticking. Still all in all they are ...
...game with plenty of songs to play along to. Songlist has over 70 songs including: Beastie boys: No sleep to brooklyn BLINK 182: Dammit Bob Segar Hollywood Nights The doors: Love me two times Wings: Band on the run Michael Jackson Beat it. The game has five diffuculty settings,the first being somewhat riddicolous where its just pressing the one key all the time. the next level up is the one i usually play where the first three keys are used ...

Review of Guitar Hero: World Tour (Xbox 360)

...addictive game for only £40 guitar included! Okay so if you are anything like me, I bet you have dreamed about having the skills to play the guitar like the greats Jimi Hendrix, Slash and the list continues. Well forget the guitar lessons at £20 a pop this is the game for you. I think this game has excellent game play, great graphics, and a wide variety of songs to choose from and the ability to download more content this game made me feel like a ...
...some special guests.I think that Guitar Hero World Tour is a step above the previous Guitar Hero Games because not only can you master the guitar you are given the opportunity to tune those vocal chords and test those drumming skills you have longed too show off. I had the opportunity to fulfill my every Rockstar fantasy but also battled it out amongst my friends to see who was the ultimate Guitar Hero. In my opinion the only down side to this game ...

Review of Guitar Hero: World Tour (Xbox 360)

I started playign the guitar Hero series many years ago starting with Guitar Hero 2. I have to admit this is the best sequel yet. I picked up a bargin near christmas and bought the game and guitar for £48 pounds. Was money well invested. The tracklist is excellent, and this time actually contains quitea a few songs which i've heard before the game came out. When I first opened the box up, and saw the guitar, I felt it was a massive improvement over ...
...get the game with the guitar I would have said yes, But now I feel the guitar is not worth it. The price has gone up considrably more since I bought it, and I have a feeling that you can still play the notes meant for the touch sensitve part, by normal strumming. The only differences are the looks, sensitive buttons and a slightly different standard button arangement. You can now activate star power just by pressing a button. Although I still don't ...

Review of Guitar Hero: World Tour (Xbox 360)

...the touch strip on the guitar is an excelent idea, and makes some really tough solos possible. The drums are much better than the Rock Band (1) drums, although I do think the sensitivity of the cymbals could be slightly better, theres nothing more annoying than losing a note streak because it didn't register your hit properly. Velocity sensitive pads is a good idea, and it works, it really does sound louder if you hit them harder, and certain notes ...
...won't complete this on expert guitar for a couple of years unless you played GH2 and 3. To complete singing on expert you have to be pretty damn good, but its deffinately possible, even if you can't really sing, you can learn to hit the notes. And my hat goes off to anyone who completes hard rums, yet alone expert. The new 'begginer' difficulty helps people with less coordination get into the game, on guitar you can play any note if you play it at ...

Review of Guitar Hero: World Tour (Xbox 360)

...this review is for the guitar part of the game only, since I don't own the other parts, I am'nt going to make a rubbish review on it. Personally, I think guitar hero world tour is brilliant fun. The career lasts for quite a while which is good, and the setlist of songs is also good. The setlist is chosen well in my opinion and includes favourites such as; Livin' on a Prayer (Bon Jovi) , Sweet Home Alabama (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Hotel California (The ...
...move half way up the guitar to get to it, and then back down again fast enough not to mess up the next part of the song. Online Play is in fact very good, there are several different game types (the amount varies depending if you have the full band set or not). The "Rock Ranks" gives you an indication of the other person's level onine. Your rock rank goes up (from 1- 50) depending on how many gigs or songs you play. The only downside of online play ...

...However, Guitar Hero can be played individually, with a few other people in the same room or online with others playing the game. I'd recommend everyone to at least have a shot at some point (most Game and GameStation stores have the console & game out in-store to play). ...

Review of Guitar Hero: World Tour (Xbox 360)

...too difficult, even so, the guitar is still excellent and the fact that they have even had the brains to bring out a drum kit that works the same way aswell as a microphone for vocals is just genius. The game is also adaptable with Rockband drums which are primarily designed for the Rockband game, however when you plug it in it works with Guitar Hero! This game is fun and is great to play with the family and or friends and if you like music, rock ...

Review of Guitar Hero: World Tour (Xbox 360)

...a sucker for all the guitar hero games! They are fantastic games to improve your hand and eye co-ordination, not to mention extremly entertaining and at times very frustrating! This installment of guitar hero i don't feel has the greatest selection of songs on it as the previous games, but all the same a very fun entertaining game. The online play i feel is 10 times better then the previous guitar hero releases, its just a shame that the songlist ...
...out for a little longer then the selection of downloadable songs will be a little more appealing, but as of this time the songs available for download are very limited. But hey who cares about all that if it gives you the opportunity to rock around your living room who cares! :@) ...
