    Simply put, GHWT is the best rhythm action title on the market right now. It improves on Rock Band 's foundation and brings in some neat ideas of its own. At time of writing, Rock Band 2 is only two weeks away from its UK release on the 360 and may steal GHWT 's thunder, and will no doubt leave people staring at both games on the shelf in a quandary over which to buy. All we'll say is this: GHWT comes highly recommended. Now go kick out the jams. Read more

    2 Comments The Smashing Pumpkins beat me. I was one tier away from GHIII mastery on Hard mode. It was the last guitar solo; my fingers were so wearied I couldn't chain notes together fast enough. I stayed in Medium after that, never satisfied due to its easiness, but never capable enough to take on Hard. I'd hit a brick wall. Read more

    Guitar Hero: World Tour is a worthy successor to the previous instalments. Neversoft have clearly worked hard to keep the ambience of previous GH games and also advance it to be a competitor to Harmonix' Rock Band 2. Both these aims have been wonderfully achieved, and the game is a wonder to play however when it stands alongside RB2 it looks shallow and limited. Ultimately however the game appeals on different wavelengths, GH:WT felt more like a challenge and it was... Read more

    I've enjoyed Guitar Hero: World Tour as it's stepped up to my expectations from a guitar playing fans point of view. If the next version has a track list to die for I'd say that'll be the come back of all come backs to really rock my world. I remain content to play World Tour until then and hone my rocking prowess with new found tapping powers. Read more

    Ultimately, despite having some incredibly fun moments, especially in multiplayer mode, World Tour doesn't quite seem to have that same spark of excitement that came with first playing Rock Band, or even with older games in the GH series. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad game by any means (and the simple existence of the Oasis downloadable content ensures I'll be keeping hold of it), but it just ultimately feels more like a "me too" kind of game alongside the...

    a good follow up to guitar hero 3. much longer career mode with lots more songs, some of which are very difficult which is good. gets a bit tedious after a while but is a great laugh if playing with your friends. Obviously the inclusion of the other instruments makes this game 10x better than it would have been if it was just the guitar. cool extra features such as creating your own character and recording your own songs is great. however the online play isn't very...

  3. Not as good as 3

    First off: My drum kit and guitar are both problematic, so I can't really say much on those, but I DO love the drums if they work. Much nicer than rock band's. So, I played on guitar only, and the songs are simply not as good as in previous GH games, since they seem to be trying to appeal to drummers too, but mainly because they seem to be trying to rope in casual gamers. There are a lot of songs that have no business being in a Guitar Hero game. It's still great at... Read more

    I was so excited to find this item on Amazon at the time I did. The week I found this, it was on sale for the same exact price at Target & WalMart, and all the stores in my area were sold out-everywhere I looked! I tried my luck here, and I couldn't believe I found it for such a low price + shipping. Delivered ultra fast, just in time for Christmas! We all have a great time playing this! Read more

    Fun: I've played this game several times the last days and i am enjoying it evry moment. A friend also has this game and he brought his guitar to my house and played with 4 friends in 1 band and that is so fun. Normaly i play games like Call of Duty or Halo so i am a really shooting fan, but as a shooters fan i also was happy with this music game. If you are thinking of to buy a music-game you should buy something from the guitar hero series, not lips or anything like... Read more
