Wow, is no one really interested in this game except me?

I think we've all seen enough guitar hero games.

The guy in the video with the "funny" singing pissed me off so much I didn't want to respond.

I have no particular interest in it. The video did make me laugh though.

I didn't know you guys didn't really care for Guitar Hero. Oh well, I think it would be more fun to play on the road then at home.

Playing games + riding in the car = bad

The fact that Activision works under the EA policy = Bad.

Edit: One more post. Just one more post and I'll have 666.

Fixed for hilarity. XD

Anyways, maybe its just me. I think that its potential as an anoyance tool is limitless. xD

You know what would be better? Playing something that looks remotely like a guitar!

yeah, you'd think Fisher Price made those things...

Some of them aren't that bad...

The only real difference I've noticed between the games is the selection of songs. And then the battle mode thing in GH3. But GH On Tour is....borderline shovelware imo. They only made it to get moar monehs. And that youtube video was ghey.

Anyway, I still have fun with the console variations. Don't own any of them though.

Ign actually gave it a try and they loved it. They said it was super responsive and that battle mode was fun with the new attacks. Like lighting the guitar on fire.

EDIT: I'm starting to notice I'm sounding a bit like a fanboy so here's some research into the down fall.The peripheal can actually pop out of the GBA if your being fairly active from what gamespy and gamespot say, though they also say it only happens if you've been playing like an hour straight. Gamespy alsow complained about how holding the peripheal was a bit uncomfortable. I'll let you guys know how I feel about it tomorrow.

mario kart syndrome

that is all on the topic of battle mode

I own a real guitar so I never saw a reason to pick up Guitar Hero. Rather play something that will give me the actual skill rather than just pretend.

taking into consideration that you sorta have to have the volume up to play it. I completely agree.

Yeah, but I see Guitar Hero as for those who don't play, and aren't willing spend hundreds of dollars and years of their lives on a real guitar and lessons.

its hardly cheap, GH2 plus the guitar was like £60 :/

Yeah I always thought that for the price of GH you could buy an okay acoustic guitar, and the time you'd spend playing GH you could learn something that might get you laid with a hot chick, rather than a fat nerdy chick.

I never said it was cheap. =P
And the cheapest guitar I found on a website (just one, don't give me **** if you find a cheaper one) is this one. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Dean-Playmate-...922-i1147931.gc

And sure, the time thing, but you forgot, time = money with good lessons. My parents were paying like 50 bucks a lesson for my sister.

EDIT: Well, enough of this silliness, lets get on with how I feel about the game.
Overall after playing four songs, my overall feel is 8/10
Graphics: 9/10
Ok, for a DS game, this actually looks great. The guitar on the touch screen is always fairly detailed and when you can take a look during gameplay, the "actual" guitar string will vibrate when you hit a note. The character models are awesome, (Except the female singer, why is she bald?! D: ) And when I was playing the subway venue, trains actually zoomed by as you play, making the standard subway train going by sound.
My main gripe is the menu. Wheres the awesome artwork? Its just fairly blah.

Sound: 8/10
Sure, the game sounds great, but how are you going to hear it that well if your hands sticking out that far? You basicly should play with headphones on all the time.

Control: 9/10
Strumming is a dream, I think its better than using the guitar for console guitars, but you have to be careful, the touch screen can be pretty sensitive about it all, once in awhile you'll find that the game thought you strum if you accidently tap the touch screen. Yelling in the microphone is kind of silly but it works better than dipping the guitar, but like the touch screen, its ultra sensitive to sound.

So thats the gist of it for you guys.

I tried it out yesterday, and didn't really like it. The lack of a fifth button tottally ruins the allready some-what boring experience that is Guitar Hero. Busting out some As I Lay Dying on my Paul Allender PRS is way more satisfying then beating TTFAF on expert.

Your parents got jipped then. I pay 75$ a month for 4 and sometimes 5 drum lessons a month.

That's drums, not guitar.

And hy would anyone need to take drum lessons? XD Though I suppose being a drummer in a school band helped some. Though most of what I learned on a set, I taught to myself. "disconnecting" your limbs is the hardest part imo, though.

You can take guitar lessons from the same place I take drum lessons for the same price.




I take lessons because there is only so much you can teach yourself on a set, and I am getting up there in ability. And yes being a drummer in a school band does help.

Surely this should be moved to GD, because its on all platforms?

On Tour is only for the DS.
Lol, CaFael

On Tour is a DS game. READ THE SUB-TITLE >:(

Huh.

I've also gotten opinions and tips from friends who are drummers, so I suppose that helps too. But I wouldn't be able to stand taking lessons for guitar, drums, or whatever. I prefer to learn on my own in my own way. I didn't learn much from my piano teacher to begin with, so I just kinda learned things myself. Though I can slo play by ear somewhat, so that helps too.

I can't play worth crap on a set when I know people are around though. D: But if I at least think I can't be heard, I can pull off some pretty sweet stuff. Don't get many chances to do that though.

well done?

that's like celebrating winning a 100m sprint race against landmine victims

I dont read subtitles, so I assumed this was a Guitar Hero general discussion, so stfu Zeyph and Blue. If it was specific, you should have put World Tour in the full title.

On a general note, I played this a few weeks back at a mates house. What was quite annoying is that one of my friends assumed that being good at the game makes you a loser, so he was purposely trying to lose the whole time, by playing with his face, playing upside down.

It was funny, but he looked like a total twat.
