Amazon.com Product Description
Start 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 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.

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.

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.

A Game Play Mode Just for the Wii
Jump into the "Mii Freestyle" game play mode that is unique to the Wii. Create Blues, Rock or Metal masterpieces by yourself, or join with friends to jam freely together on guitar controllers and the drum kit controller.

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. In addition to the killer track list, the game will feature rock icons such as Hayley Williams of Paramore and Travis Barker of +44 and blink-182.

Customer Reviews

better than all the guitar heroes and rockband
great amount of songs, i never heard of most of them but i did find some good songs which i really liked. the new guitar is like an awesome hybrid between the guitar hero 3 and rockband controllers. its nice and big with a big strumbar and wammy.

But it has the wonderful strumbar taht clicks and the notes are raised making is easier to find where your fingers are if you get confused. This game offers a variety of songs to cater to all players as well as the ability to make your own songs!!!

The bass on this game is about 10 times better than rockbands because you actually are challenged by it... there are open noteswhich make it hard. this is the best game i played all year

Wii Mania strikes again
As anyone who owns more than 5 wii games will tell you the wii games are full of glitches and disappointments. Guitar Hero: World Tour is no different. The X-Box 360 and PS3 editions are loaded with features, while the Wii is skimpy on those.

Consider this how many rockstars only have one tattoo? Not many, but that's the choice you get with the Wii; one tattoo on his right arm. Forget the back, chest, other arm, no you just bought another crappy Wii game.

The result of all of these glitches and less features: Greed. Video game companies know they can produce a game that costs less than other versions, yet they can sell it for the same price because they know people are stupid to buy everything Wii. Now onto the main part of the review:

-Gameplay: Forget actually enjoying the song, you're here to rock out. More often than not instead of the lyrics, you'll hear the annoying click of the strum bar. Needless to say also they need to get rid of the sound it makes when you miss a note. Okay, I've got it I missed the note, quit making that sound.

-Graphics: I don't have 20/20 vision and that's a problem with Guitar Hero. Consider the fact that they show you what song you'll be playing before the gig. Could it please get anymore tiny? Also the graphics aren't even that great at all.

-Song list: A few decent songs, but some of the songs are downright putrid. I'm not talking about nails on the chalkboard type: I'm talking about wanting to grab the nearest object and stab your eardrums just to quit listening to the song.

Overall wait until the next game comes out, and no I'm not talking about Guitar Hero: Metallica.

Great Fun for music lovers
This product is awesome for people who love music. Young or old it's plain fun. I hate the wicked acid rock songs but the older song from the 70 and 80 and fun to play and or listen too.
