  • Abstract:  On Tour never feels like youre playing guitar, but it occasionally feels like youre playing Guitar Hero. Would Guitar Hero be as much fun without the guitar controller? Guitar Hero: On Tour definitively settles this question—and the answer is negati...

  • Abstract:  On a long list of things we never thought we’d do, being able to play Guitar Hero on a subway -- or more importantly, on the toilet -- was certainly one of those things. Developer MachineWorks gave it a go with Guitar Hero III Mobile, which was a nobl...

  Published: 2008-07-03, review by: game-boyz.com

  • Abstract:  Overall, Guitar Hero: On Tour looks solid, but it obviously does look as good as it does on any of the bigger and more powerful home consoles. But hey, that is to be expected given the hardware limitations of the DS. What really jumped out at me when I...

  • Abstract:  Guitar Hero: On Tour is the first portable edition of the popular finger tapping franchise, and while the developers of this entry have done a pretty solid job of bringing the game to the small screen, it definitely feels like a hold-over for the main ...

  • Abstract:  I’ve been on the fence about Guitar Hero On Tour ever since it was first announced. I mean, just how much fun would Guitar Hero be without the guitar? Well I’ve had about a week to play with it, so I figured it was time for me to share my thoughts. Wh...

  • Strong setlist; mostly master tracks; multiplayer adds some needed replay value.
  • Painfully awkward peripheral; the sound leaves a lot to be desired; only 25 songs.
  • To say that Guitar Heros impact on popular culture has been significant is a bit of an understatement. Activisions music franchise has helped to make gaming a more accessible and interactive experience, to the point that its not uncommon to see peop...

  • Abstract:  Guitar Hero for the DS: there were so many ways it could have gone wrong. But thank the rock gods that developers Vicarious Visions were in put in charge.

  • Abstract:  Guitar Hero: On Tour continues the Guitar Hero legacy by expanding its wing’s to the Nintendo DS. While some might have expected On Tour to crash and burn like other rock legends, On Tour stays on course. While the flight does get bumpy at times due to...

  • Abstract:  I've played in bands and performed in front of some pretty large crowds. I understand how it feels to rock out, get totally sweaty, and still know that plenty of people envy you. I felt the exact opposite after playing Guitar Hero: On Tour; I had the r...

  Published: 2008-06-23, Author: Aaron , review by: cnet.com

  • Abstract:  Guitar Hero has made the rounds, appearing on all of the current consoles. However, the series use of licensed music and reliance on large plastic guitars made it seem like youd never be able party like a rock star on a handheld--especially the cartr...
