Item Description

Guitar Hero on a handheld sounded impossible in 2008, so Vicarious Visions built new hardware to make it work. Guitar Hero: On Tour is designed around the Guitar Grip, a four-button fret attachment with a hand strap that slides into the Game Boy Advance slot of an original DS or DS Lite (the DSi and 3DS have no slot for it). You hold the system sideways like a book, press the colored frets with one hand and strum by sweeping the stylus across the strings drawn on the touchscreen. It is an odd, clever setup, and once your fingers find the buttons it captures the rhythm-game rush surprisingly well.

The setlist leans into big, singable rock. Blink-182's “All the Small Things,” No Doubt's “Spiderwebs,” Jet's “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and Smash Mouth's “All Star” share the stage with Nirvana's “Breed,” Rick Springfield's “Jessie's Girl” and Twisted Sister's “We're Not Gonna Take It,” plus covers of classics like Pat Benatar's “Hit Me with Your Best Shot” and ZZ Top's “La Grange.” A career mode strings the songs into a touring progression, and the familiar Guitar Hero ladder of difficulty levels gives the tracks real staying power.

Guitar Duels add a competitive edge, and beating all of them unlocks a bonus track, Freezepop's “I Am Not Your Gameboy,” a wink from the band whose songs helped launch the series. Two players can also go head to head over local wireless.

On Tour started a short-lived handheld branch of the franchise, followed by On Tour: Decades and On Tour: Modern Hits, which used the same Grip. Playing it now is a reminder of how far the DS era was willing to go for an idea: a full plastic-guitar phenomenon squeezed into a pocket, strap and all, and the cartridge where that experiment began.

About the game

Guitar Hero: On Tour is a series of music video games based on the Guitar Hero series for the Nintendo DS handheld game system. The series is developed by Vicarious Visions and distributed by RedOctane and Activision. Three games in the series have been released since June 2008: Guitar Hero: On Tour, Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades and Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits. As with other games in the Guitar Hero series, the player is challenged to play through the lead or bass guitar portions of rock songs by matching colored notes that scroll on screen towards the player in time with physical actions to score points and keep the virtual crowd pleased. While the console versions of Guitar Hero use a separate guitar-shaped peripheral, Vicarious Visions developed a "Guitar Grip" unit that slips into the Game Boy Advance port on the DS or the DS Lite to be used with the games; the Grip is incompatible with the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS. The Guitar Grip provides a strap to hold the game unit while providing the player with four fret buttons; the player uses the fret buttons in combination with using the stylus to simulate strumming on the touch-sensitive screen of the DS.
