Guitar Hero: World Tour for Wii (Game only)
Delivering the largest on-disc set list in a music-rhythm game to-date, Guitar Hero:
World Tour for Wii is comprised entirely of master recordings from some of the greatest
classic and modern rock bands of all-time including Van Halen, Linkin Park, The Eagles,
Sublime and many more. Additionally, Guitar Hero: World Tour for Wii offers significantly
more localised downloadable music than ever before on all of the next-generation consoles.
Budding rock stars will also be given creative license to fully customise everything in
Guitar Hero: World Tour for Wii, from their characters' appearance and instruments to their
band's logo and album covers.
In addition to a newly designed more responsive guitar controller and microphone, Guitar
Hero: World Tour for Wii delivers the most realistic drum experience ever in a videogame
with an authentic electronic drum kit. Featuring three drum pads, two raised cymbals and a
bass kick pedal, the drum controller for Guitar Hero: World Tour for Wii combines larger and
quieter, velocity-sensitive drum heads with soft rubber construction to deliver authentic
bounce back and is easy to set up, move, break down and store.
Guitar Hero: World Tour for Wii delivers more ways to play than ever before. Virtual
musicians can live out their rock and roll fantasies in Guitar Hero: World Tour for Wii by
playing either a single instrument, or any combination of instruments, in addition to the
full band experience. In addition to all of the online gameplay modes from Guitar Hero III:
Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero: World Tour for Wii introduces Battle of the Bands mode which
allows eight players to join online and challenge each other band-to-band to determine who
is the best of the best. In the Band modes, up to four Guitar Hero: World Touur players can
jam together, online or off, as they progress through the game, and in single-player Career
Mode, Wii Guitar Hero: World Tour players can jam on any of the instruments in branching
venue progression enabling them to rock out in the order of their choice.
Guitar Hero: World Tour for Wii's innovative new Music Studio lets players express their
musical creativity by giving them access to a full compliment of tools to create digital
