Product description

 

Last year's Rock Band one-upped this popular guitar-shredding sim by offering living-room rockers new instruments to jam on. This year, Guitar Hero strikes back with an impressive drum kit, microphone, and virtual recording studio allowing players to make and share their very own tracks. Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, Activision, T.

Start a Band...the Guitar Hero Way

Guitar Hero World Tour transforms music gaming by expanding Guitar Hero's signature guitar gameplay into a cooperative band experience that combines advanced wireless instruments with online and offline gameplay modes including online Band Career and 8-player "Battle of the Bands," which allows two full bands to compete head-to-head online. The game features a slick redesigned guitar, an authentic electronic drum kit, and a microphone, as well as a Music Studio music creator that lets players compose, record, edit and share their own rock ‘n’ roll anthems.

Wireless Instruments

New to GHWT is a redesigned, more responsive guitar controller, which features a touch-sensitive slide bar on the neck that allows the player to play through certain song passages without needing to strum. Check out the drum kit featuring three drum pads, two raised cymbals, and a bass kick pedal. The drum controller 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.

Be the Next Great Songwriter

Music Studio lets players express their musical creativity by giving them access to a full complement of tools to create digital music from scratch utilizing the guitar controller and drum kit. Players can create their tracks and then play them in-game or share the recordings with the entire Guitar Hero community through GHTunes. GHTunes allows other gamers from around the world to download and play the community's original tracks. Available to PlayStation 3 gamers is Line 6's guitar tone technology, enabling them to use amps, cabs, and effects from the Line 6 POD.

Create the Band

Budding rock stars can live out their rock ‘n’ roll fantasies by playing either a single instrument or any combination of instruments, in addition to the full band experience. When rocking as part of a band, up to four players can jam together in quickplay or as they progress through a career. Both band and single-player careers feature non-linear progression giving artists the option to change difficulty and instruments with a variety of different gigs available at any time.

Never Jam Solo Again

Virtual musicians in need of band mates can take their careers online forming worldwide ensembles so no rock star ever has to play a gig solo. Plus, GHWT adds a "Battle of the Bands" modes, which allows eight players to join online and challenge each other band-to-band to establish global supremacy.

Customize Everything

The character creator allows gamers to create a rock star with style as unique as their own. Absolute customization from the clothes, to the facial and body structure, to the tattoos and accessories, players are encouraged to unleash their inner rock legend. The Rock Star Creator doesn't just allow players to build the ultimate rock god; the in-depth creators include the ability to customize guitars, drums and microphones. Adding yet another layer of personalization, gamers can create custom logos for their instruments, band, or album covers.

A Set List for the Ages

The Guitar Hero World Tour set list is comprised entirely of master recordings from some of the greatest artists of all-time including Van Halen, Linkin Park, The Eagles, and Sublime.

    « Great Family Fun!!! »
    We originally purchased this product for our 10 year old son, he was WOWED at Christmas. Then we played it as a family and man, let me tell you, we had a blast!!! To make it even more fun, he has a gaming chair with an unbelievable sound system. We blast it and have so much fun together as a family. Snow days are no longer dreaded because we run upstairs to play with it in his room!! I am seriously considering a second system for the basement!! This product is very durable. This is by far one of the best investments that we have made for "family entertainment"!! I would highly recommend this product.

    « Guitar Hero World Tour »
    Fun game. I'm in my early 20's, so some of the songs are a little dated for me but a lot of them are still pretty good. I like that there is the option of playing the guitar, the drums and singing in this one because older guitar hero games only have the guitar option.

    I would definitely recommend this game but make sure that you look at what songs are on it first (This kind of game is much more fun if you like the music on it). If you don't like the songs on this game, there are other guitar hero games that are Beatles music and Metalica music. And if you don't like those bands, you can also look at rock band games

    « I am a Guitar Hero »
    My son bought this game with the money he received at Christmas and I a have enjoyed it as much or more than he has. Today is a snow day in North Carolina, he is able to load the game and play with friends online. How great is that.

    « New songs, new instruments, new ways to rock out »
    Activision really took a giant leap forward when it released Guitar Hero World Tour. Whereas previous games only featured songs with playable bass and guitar parts, World Tour introduced a drum part and a vocals part. This really opened the door for several new features and modes, such as battle of the bands where you can go online and play against another band. In addition to simply having fun playing in a band in quickplay mode, you can also play a career with the whole band. After each song, each instrument earns a certain amount of money, which can be used to buy band equipment and apparel, based on their performances on the selected level of difficulty. In addition, many of the same game modes from Guitar Hero III also return. Classic modes such as faceoff, pro-faceoff, battle mode(introduced on GH III), etc, are included. You can also create your own songs and post them to GH Tunes, where you can download other songs by other GH gamers.

    I was surprised at the wide variety of music introduced on this game. The music seems to touch on several genres If you're a heavy metal/rock fan, you can play songs such as "Trapped Under Ice" by Metallica or "BYOB" by System of a Down. If you prefer more classical rock you might play "American Woman" by the Guess Who, "Do It Again" by Steely Dan, or "Up Around the Bend" by CCR. Classic bands and musicians such as The Eagles, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Guess Who, Blondie, Pat Benatar, are all featured on this game. If you're still hungry for more, you can head on over to the PS Network, where you can search through a huge library of downloadable songs

    I did run into one small problem with the bundle pack. One of those involved the guitar controller that it came with. Either they all were made this way, or I was just unlucky, because the strum bar on my guitar seemed to be broken. Other than that all equipment works fine. You might have to play around with the system/game settings in order to get the microphone or drums to work and you will need 2 AA batteries for the drums and guitar to work. Overall, though, it should take you no more than 20 minutes to get all the instruments set up and ready to play. Overall a great game that gives Rockband a run for its money.

    « You should buy this game with everything ^^ »
    Hey everyone,

    I recently started to buy things in Amazon, specially games or music albuns that aren't or sale in my Country or is cheapier order it here than in a local store.

    This game is a 13kg package and i most say that arrived in perfect conditions, neither the package was scratch or anything like that. Everything works very well and i started to have fun with my friends and family already :P

    The drum is something spetacular but i'm really a noob for now ^^

    I recommend this game if you like to have parties in your house ;)

    And btw, the songlist is really cool.
