Product DescriptionStart a Band…the Guitar Hero Way
Guitar Hero World Tour transforms music gaming by expanding Guitar Hero’s signature guitar gameplay into a cooperative band experience that combines advanced wireless instruments with online and offline gameplay modes including online Band Career and 8-player “Battle of the Bands,” which allows two full bands to compete head-to-head online. The game features a slick redesigned guitar, an authentic electronic drum kit, and a microphone, as well as a Music Studio music creator that lets players compose, record, edit and share their own rock ‘n’ roll anthems.
Wireless Instruments
New to GHWT is a redesigned, more responsive guitar controller, which features a touch-sensitive slide bar on the neck that allows the player to play through certain song passages without needing to strum. Check out the drum kit featuring three drum pads, two raised cymbals, and a bass kick pedal. The drum controller combines larger and quieter, velocity-sensitive drum heads with soft rubber construction to deliver authentic bounce back and is easy to set up, move, break down and store.
Be the Next Great Songwriter
Music Studio lets players express their musical creativity by giving them access to a full complement of tools to create digital music from scratch utilizing the guitar controller and drum kit. Players can create their tracks and then play them in-game or share the recordings with the entire Guitar Hero community through GHTunes. GHTunes allows other gamers from around the world to download and play the community’s original tracks. Available to Xbox 360 gamers is Line 6’s guitar tone technology, enabling them to use amps, cabs, and effects from the Line 6 POD.
Create the Band
Budding rock stars can live out their rock ‘n’ roll fantasies by playing either a single instrument or any combination of instruments, in addition to the full band experience. When rocking as part of a band, up to four players can jam together in quickplay or as they progress through a career. Both band and single-player careers feature non-linear progression giving artists the option to change difficulty and instruments with a variety of different gigs available at any time.
Never Jam Solo Again
Virtual musicians in need of band mates can take their careers online forming worldwide ensembles so no rock star ever has to play a gig solo. Plus, GHWT adds a “Battle of the Bands” modes, which allows eight players to join online and challenge each other band-to-band to establish global supremacy.
Customize Everything
The character creator allows gamers to create a rock star with style as unique as their own. Absolute customization from the clothes, to the facial and body structure, to the tattoos and accessories, players are encouraged to unleash their inner rock legend. The Rock Star Creator doesn’t just allow players to build the ultimate rock god; the in-depth creators include the ability to customize guitars, drums and microphones. Adding yet another layer of personalization, gamers can create custom logos for their instruments, band, or album covers.
A Set List for the Ages
The Guitar Hero World Tour set list is comprised entirely of master recordings from some of the greatest artists of all-time including Van Halen, Linkin Park, The Eagles, and Sublime. There are over 85 tracks, plus frequent downloadable singles and track packs.

Great Game But Hardware Issues
Guitar Hero World Tour is a great game!! The sound track is really deep and has a lot of customizes that you can do with your instrument and/or character. The drums fall a little short due to some sensitivity issues. Luckily you have the option on going to Activision’s website and order a free tuner for your drums that you can hook up to your computer. To bad they didn’t already fix the problem since the games has been out for almost a year already. I Tuned the drums and it has improved my drum game play, but still has some minor tweaking to do because you still find yourself not hitting some of the notes. Besides that the game is great! I would recommend this to anyone, but just know in the back of your head that you might have to tweak the drums later.
LOVE IT!!!
We already had Guitar Hero 2, 3 and Aerosmith and wanted to get World Tour so all 3 members of our family could play at the same time and because we were getting bored with only being able to play the guitar. World Tour is an AWESOME game for the whole family to play. We have loads of fun playing together. It has allowed my husband and I to appreciate music from our son’s generation and for him to appreciate music from our generation.
Drum Kit = Money Down the Drain
People have already commented that the drum kit is crap, but I thought I would concur. Our red drum pad stopped working about a month after we bought the game. We returned it to Activision, and it was repaired. A couple days after we had it back, the yellow cymbal wire snapped off and we had to buy a replacement. After the wire came and my husband repaired it, he was able to play about 3 songs before the red drum pad went out again. These drums are complete garbage and we’re done with them. We aren’t willing to waste any more time and money trying to fix them. The game itself is pretty good, and the drums *were* a lot of fun to play, but don’t waste your money on them.
At a discount, its worth it.
I personally like the instruments better in this game compared to Rock Band or Rock Band 2. The song list is more pop than Rock Band if thats what you are into. I’m probably going to buy the stand-alone disc of Rock Band for the songs. The singing in this game is worst then Rock Band. I’ve had much more fun singing on Rock Band at a friends house. Rock Band also has more and gets more downloadable content available. I’d recommended this product if you do not have instruments yet.
Great fun
A good game, getting the chance to bang along on the drums to some good songs. And the whole family can join in too.
I will say, the microphone part isn’t the most fun, unless you happen to know the words to the songs already. But overall, drums are fun to play, guitar is standard like the rest of the series.
I’m happy !It is simple to see that you are passionate about your writing. Looking forward to future posts.Thanks!
