The King of rock 'n' roll?

Rock Band may have ruled the rhythm-action roost for the past few months, but the series that started the trend for peripheral-based music games has returned in a big way. Compatible with all the old Guitar Hero guitars, the game-only version of Guitar Hero World Tour works as a straight-up sequel for those who just want to get their strum on. But it's the big band experience - available via the Band Bundle package - where the amps really get turned up to 11.

Kitted out

Red Octane has always created great guitar controllers but the one provided with Guitar Hero World Tour is comfortably its best to date, with longer strum and whammy bars, an additional Star Power button for the tilt-averse, and a touch-sensitive lower portion of the neck which enables you to slide and tap without strumming, for those pyrotechnic solos.

The tracklist is thrillingly eclectic - eschewing obvious choices in favour of some wild new challenges.

Meanwhile, the Guitar Hero World Tour drumkit is a masterpiece of engineering - a solid, sturdy, six-input set with rubber pads that provide a pleasing bounce when hit. It's also much quieter than Rock Band's offering, while the two raised cymbals make it feel closer to the real thing. The pads are also velocity-sensitive, meaning particularly hefty thwacks during breaks and fills will no doubt have the neighbours complaining. Or coming round to jam!

Thrillingly eclectic

Budding vocalists will be pleased to hear that they're also catered for in Guitar Hero World Tour, with a USB microphone doing its job more than efficiently and a mechanic that will be familiar to anyone who's played Sony's SingStar. World Tour is more forgiving, but then vocals are likely to be the one part of your game you'll struggle to improve.

The Guitar Hero World Tour tracklist is thrillingly eclectic - eschewing obvious choices in favour of some wild new challenges. You'll find REM and Oasis for the pop kids, while metal heads get to rock out with At The Drive-In and indie lovers can shoegaze to Dinosaur Jr. Though the less familiar songs aren't ideal for the full band experience, discovering new favourite tunes has always been part of the series' appeal.

casual gamers are well-served with the introduction of a Beginner mode which allows you to hit any button or press any pad to succeed.

Newcomers and casual gamers are well-served with the introduction of a Beginner mode which allows you to hit any button or press any pad to succeed: as long as you're in time, you'll pass. That's not to say that the series' hardcore roots have been ignored - the Expert difficulty setting in Guitar Hero World Tour offers a huge challenge, even to seasoned veterans.

The customisation options are plentiful - you can change anything from the facial hair and tattoos on your cartoonish avatar through to the design of your band's logo. And for the dedicated, Guitar Hero World Tour features a Studio mode which enables you to create your own tracks (but no vocals) and share with other players via the GHTunes service. It's dauntingly complex at first, but it's safe to say the feature will likely breed a substantial online community over the coming months.

Rock on

Perhaps most importantly, the note charts have been significantly improved over those in the disappointing Guitar Hero III - you'll rarely find yourself playing any phantom notes which aren't in the real song this time around. With Rock Band 2 just around the corner, developer Neversoft needed to raise its game, and it has - providing some serious competition to Harmonix in the battle of the bands.

GAME's Verdict
plus points
  • Well-designed instruments.
  • Great tracklist.
  • Exciting new modes and options.
minus points
  • Some may find the song list too eccentric.
  • The Studio mode is incredibly daunting.
  • Note charts - though improved - aren't quite Rock Band quality.

Cymbals aren't anywhere near responsive enough. Rockband defeats this title quite comfortably for playability. Set-lists need lots of improvement. WAAAAYYYY too many songs that are NOT well known. I like having additions of songs that aren't as popular, but you have to think about your demographic when marketing products. Good concept, but taken from the Harmonix and Rockband. So nothing original to speak of. Just a good game I guess is all you can say.

have to say the setlist is rather disappointing apart from a KoRn and Metallica song this game doesnt really touch metal heads even the downloads are arent tht great. but hey if you really wanna have a good time with mates get it works well with beer plus if your playing hard/expert on drums YOU ARE A DRUMMER IN REALITY so buy a drum kit :P the new tapping system on this one of the best ideas guitar hero have had besides making a game that features the whole band. and for bass HAHA come on seriously if you know the song get a mic stand and sing and play bass at the same time so that way you'll look a bit cooler (HAHA you play bass your the failed guitarest :P By the way pratise hard and enter the guitar hero tournements the hold at the festivals such as Download most festivals now feature a tent dedicated to this game and the oher guitar hero titles

can you sing play drums and play guitar all at the same time ?
Jamie Rubie posted on 20 Mar 2009
Since I got this hbing got rock band I thought it had a lot to live up to and to be quite honest it didn't live up to what I thought it would be. Yes the drums are alot better than rockband but being called guitar hero you wolud have thought the guitar would be better than it is because to be quite honest it is no way near rockbands. The way guitar hero is set out aswell is awefull and it is to hard to read the notes that appear. And after a couple of weeks after getting it it's just been sat in the corner while I play on rockband. So in my opinion I would get rockband 1 or 2
