Item Description

Four instruments, one living room and a setlist that runs from the Eagles to Tool: Guitar Hero World Tour is the moment Neversoft turned the series into a full band. After three games built around lead and bass guitar, the fourth main entry added drums and vocals, answering Rock Band head-on. Lyrics and a pitch line scroll across the top of the screen while separate note highways for guitar, bass and drums run below, and only the active players' tracks appear, so a duo and a full four-piece both get a clean, readable stage.

The drums were World Tour's big statement. The kit was designed around five velocity-sensitive pads and a kick pedal, with the two cymbals raised above the drum heads at the request of Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland and Travis Barker, and with armored accent notes that only register when you hit harder. On Expert it is a real workout, and reviewers singled out the instruments, the character customization and the gentler difficulty curve as clear improvements over Guitar Hero III. Band Career needs at least two players working through gigs together, while the solo career pits guitarists against Zakk Wylde and Ted Nugent in call-and-response boss battles.

All 86 songs on the disc are master recordings, a first for the series, spread roughly evenly across classic rock, the '80s and the '90s with newer bands mixed in. Jimi Hendrix is here, Tool contributes three songs, and the Eagles' "Hotel California" is on the list. Hendrix, Ozzy Osbourne, Hayley Williams, Billy Corgan and Travis Barker turn up as playable characters, and Create-a-Rocker, built on the bones of Neversoft's Create-a-Skater from the Tony Hawk games, lets you design your own frontman down to the tattoos and assemble a guitar from parts.

Then there is Music Studio, the most ambitious idea in the box. You can compose guitar, bass and drum tracks, run them through Line 6 amp effects and even sketch a hum-along vocal line, with the game generating easier difficulties from your Expert chart. It was originally paired with the GHTunes sharing service, but the creation tools themselves are the draw: few rhythm games before it let players write their own songs at all. On Xbox 360, World Tour is the Guitar Hero that first asked a whole group of friends to share one screen, and it still rewards a room that has the instruments to match.

About the game

Guitar Hero: World Tour is the fourth main game in the series and brings a major change to the concept. Following the release of Rock Band that built on the Guitar Hero concept but added additional instruments, World Tour introduces these as well to allow players to play together simultaneously as a real band. Next to the guitar that was the main peripheral for the previous titles, the bundled edition of the game adds a microphone for the vocal parts and drums for percussion. Just like the previous game, the guitar tracks are split up for the lead and bass. The lyrics and the vocal pitch is shown near the top of the screen, while the bottom part is split up for bass guitar, lead guitar and drums, each with a separate set of notes that need to be hit to correctly play the part.
