Guitar Hero: On Tour - Page 2 - VGF

Hate to break it to you, but Guitar Hero NEVER felt like actually playing a real guitar. For someone who's played a pile of guitars, genuine real guitars with strings and all, Guitar Hero was... nothing like it. This, however, looks funny and I want to try it out.

I have yet to beat ANY videogame on hard because it's....well hard.

Generally, I like sticking to lower difficulties, because I find it more fun to actually be able to progress through a game than stare at a game over screen every ten seconds.

It just read confirmation on IGN that the accessory includes an adaptor, so it could plug into the original DS.

Oh and here's a quote about the missing button and how it might change the difficulty:

Quote:

Don't let the lack of a single button make you think this game will be a cakewalk for Guitar Hero freaks: according to Bala, hard mode will be "really freakin' hard."

Thank you Nintendo Power!

Tier 2:
Smash Mouth - All Star
Nirvana - Breed
Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl
Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Maroon 5 - This Love

Tier 3:
Los Lonely Boys - Heaven
Bloc Party - Helicopter
Doobie Brothers - China Grove
KISS - Rock and Roll All Nite
Daughtry - What I Want.

Some good stuff (Doobie Brothers, Bloc Party, Nirvana) some bad (Daughtry, KISS, Smash Mouth, Pat Benatar)

**Sean P Kelly** · 04-29-2008, 03:01 PM

Don't go calling KISS and Pat Benatar bad.

YOU ARE MY FRIENDS · 04-29-2008, 03:57 PM

Never been much of a Pat Benatar fan.

And KISS just never did much for me, there are some songs I've liked, but they're pretty mediocre as a band.

**March of the Covenant** · 05-01-2008, 08:59 PM

How about some more new songs, rather than stuff from GH3.

YOU ARE MY FRIENDS · 05-01-2008, 09:19 PM

^ As well as RB.

I wouldn't blame them for reusing songs. They want to save most new songs for Guitar Hero IV after all.

**March of the Covenant** · 05-04-2008, 08:26 PM

^There are a helluva lot of songs out there though.

what if they can actually play a real guitar

YOU ARE MY FRIENDS · 05-05-2008, 02:55 PM

^ Nobody does that anymore.

I just watched the Hannah Montana trailer on The Nintendo Channel and I was reminded of this game. The girls were dancing so much then when it actually came to playing one of the instruments on the DS they were perfectly still.

Click to view video.

This is a youtube mirror. I'm pretty sure the black girl just plugged her DS into a mini amp that she is carrying on her shoulder.

**L007 is Undecided** · 05-13-2008, 05:40 PM

Wait, are you comparing Hannah Montana to Guitar Hero?

Even more, are you suggesting that Guitar Hero puts Hannah Montana songs in the next games? Huh? HUH? IS THAT YOUR EVIL PLAN, WVSW? YOU EVIL MINDED... EVIL PERSON?!!

**Sean P Kelly** · 06-24-2008, 05:41 PM

Just picked it up today. It took a song or two to get used to it, but I found the game fun.

However, I have to question the inclusion of "This Love" by Maroon 5 (as an encore no less).

The game is advertised as having 25 songs, so I believe I will probably have run though all of them by the end of the day (I already played ten).

**L007 is Undecided** · 06-24-2008, 06:32 PM

Only 25 and four buttons? Sounds like a cop out.

YOU ARE MY FRIENDS · 06-24-2008, 07:01 PM

^ And a lot of them were in 3.

**Sean P Kelly** · 06-24-2008, 08:16 PM

^ Actually only six songs were from Guitar Hero III the rest were new

Full song list (notice how they learn towards more pop/rock songs in order to get an E10+ rating):
"All Star" - Smash Mouth
"All the Small Things" - Blink-182
"Anna Molly" - Incubus
"Are You Gonna Be My Girl" - Jet
"Black Magic Woman" - Santana (from GH3)
"Breed" - Nirvana
"China Grove" - Doobie Brothers
"Do What You Want" - OK Go
"Heaven" - Los Lonely Boys
"Helicopter" - Bloc Party (from GH3)
"Hit Me with Your Best Shot" - Pat Benatar (from GH3 - now master track instead of cover)
"I Am Not Your Gameboy" - Freezepop (bonus quick play song)
"I Don't Wanna Stop" - Ozzy Osbourne
"I Know a Little" - Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Jessie's Girl" - Rick Springfield
"Jet Airliner" - Steve Miller Band
"Knock Me Down" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
"La Grange" - ZZ Top (from GH3)
"Pride and Joy" - Stevie Ray Vaughan (from GH3 -- now master track instead of cover)
"Rock and Roll All Nite" - Kiss (from GH3)
"Spiderwebs" - No Doubt
"Stray Cat Strut" - Stray Cats
"This Love" - Maroon 5
"We're Not Gonna Take It" - Twisted Sister
"What I Want" - Daughtry featuring Slash
"Youth Gone Wild" - Skid Row

Considering this is a hand held game it's quite impressive. By comparison, Elite Beat Agents (previously my favourite DS rhythm game) had only 19 songs.

The game comes ready to go into a DS Lite, but they packed an adapter so it can fit with the regular DS. I have yet to try it on my fat DS, but why would I when there's a giant ol' crack on the top screen?

So, yes, I picked it up (Although at $50, I could have gotten Aerosmith). I'm pretty impressed, actually. Expert is still difficult, just not in the fifth button sense. Rather, there are a huge amount of notes that require strumming REALLY fast.

My favorite thing about this game? THE PICK STYLUS.

**March of the Covenant** · 07-01-2008, 08:08 PM

I will be getting this for my birthday, which is in 2 1/2 months....

But yeah, I look forward to playing it, now I can play GH on bus rides to basketball games, haha.
