Guitar Hero: On Tour... This may actually work.
March 21 , 2008 ... posted by Mike
I am a major Rock Band fan-boy ... one that has kind of left the Guitar Hero franchise in the dust. However ... when I saw the peripheral for the DS version of GH ... I thought “hell yeah ... that looks decent.”
My favorite DS game of all time is Elite Beat Agents ... and this makes me think that I will have a lot of fun with this game. The peripheral slides into the bottom of the DS ... but you hold the DS like a book to play so that you push the buttons with your left had (not sure what lefties will do). The peripheral also has a strap on the back of it so you don’t have to worry about actually holding the DS while playing.
I think this game will do a number of things well:
It should be the perfect game to kill 15 minutes if you need 15 minutes to kill. It will be an innovative use for the DS. Will usher in clones ... perhaps even a Rock Band DS game (Drums would work well).
My predictions of the short comings:
Will probably cost $40 or more. It’s only going to have 20 songs ... probably only 7 or 8 will be good. You’ll have to wear headphones to get the full experience.
Well ... I am excited about this game pending the song list. If there are 10 good songs (that aren’t on other Guitar Hero games or Rock Band) ... I’ll check this one out.
