Band on the Run

By 2008, the gaming space was swept into the rhythm game fervor. Once a niche genre that was mostly relegated to arcades and very niche console titles, it was now a mainstream success that was penetra… Read more

Guitar Hero's Fourth Installment is Mediocre at Best

When Guitar Hero World Tour was announced in early 2008, it quickly climbed its way into my "Most Anticipated Games" list for that year. The game promised many things, complete character and instrumen… Read more

GHWT is fun, although in need of some fine tuning

Harmonix has changed the music genre of video games twice: the first time was with the original Guitar Hero in 2005, and then they revolutionized the music game again in 2007 with Rock Band. Guitar He… Read more

World Tour delivers hours upon hours of fun alone or with friends

Positive: + new controllers are very nice + new guitar gameplay elements work well for the most part + great setlist with diverse songs both in style and difficulty + career is less linear than before… Read more

Rock to the Moon! As Robots! On Fire!

Right, I'm gonna review this game and I swear to God on high I will not mention the name Rock Band once. Promise. OK there's no escaping the fact that this game will forever be in a two horse race wit… Read more

Excellent

This Guitar Hero was definitely a nice surprise for me. Expecting a new, family-friendly easy rockbandesque approach for this game, the difficulty in songs like Hot For Teacher and Satch Boogie just b… Read more

Bust out the tasty jams

This may seem a little abrupt but I want to start this review by talking about the instruments you’ll receive with Guitar Hero: World Tour , the fourth instalment in the ever growing music franchise.… Read more

GH is just unoriginal and copies many aspects from RB 2

Its no secret that GH World Tour is a lot like Rock Band 2. So much that it includes the same 4 instruments and implements many of the Rock Band features while trying to make other aspects unique but… Read more

Guitar Hero: World Tour Single Player Review

This is pretty much what you'd expect from a Guitar Hero title. However, there are some delightful enhancements. For example: You can completely customize your "Rocker." Tattoos, Guitar decals, Guitar… Read more

Ok but not great

I bought this for about 15 bucks (100 Norwegian kr. is ca. 15 bucks) when giving Gamestop two Wii games (Wario Ware Smooth moves and Monkey Ball Banana Blitz) and it was totally worth it. But then aga… Read more

Hot for Hero

Guitar Hero has long been a popular franchise here in the UK and after Rock Bands disappointing launch in the UK I wasnt sure if adding the whole band to the equation was necessarily the best idea but… Read more

Vicariously moonwalking

GH:WT Review

So this christmas, I got the Guitar Hero: World tour Solus, mainly because I already have Rock Band and the instruments for it, and partly because I can't use Guitar hero controllers, (Don't know why,… Read more

Someone snuck drums into my Guitar Hero!

First things first, just gotta say it - did GUITAR Hero really need the full band format? Or did they just do it because of the great success that Rock Band saw? Or maybe they really were planning it… Read more

Guitar Hero: World Tour--Review

In many ways Guitar Hero: World Tour is a great game. I have to give this game game the same score as I gave Rock Band 2 because where each game lacks, the other game shines. To put it simple, if you… Read more

NO ROCK BAND, BUT IT CERTAINLY ISN'T NO TRIBUTE BAND!

NO ROCK BAND, BUT IT CERTAINLY ISN'T NO TRIBUTE BAND! Guitar Hero , we all have fond memories of our first time hitting those coloured fret buttons to some of our favourite tracks or whamming your way… Read more

Sterile and uninspired

This fall marks the first time where we are truly swamped with full-band plastic instrument games. Each of them, ideally, should bring something unique to the table to distinguish themselves from one… Read more

Bought it, beat it, traded it.

The bottom line on all this, is this game has no lasting appeal. The online is horrible, trying to get a game going is a nightmare. I found myself sitting around for hours just trying to get a couple… Read more

Almost but not quite..

This game could have been so much better. The presentation seems rushed. Maybe I'm spoiled by Rock Bands robust world tour mode.. where you get random gigs and what not... and the fan leader boards. T… Read more
