  • Most of the songs are master tracks, Multiplayer modes are pretty good.
  • Grip attachment can be extremely uncomfortable, Music fidelity is poor, A total of 26 songs wont last you very long, Guitar Hero without a larger, fake guitar isnt much fun.
  • Cumbersome controls and several other shortcomings make this guitar permanently out of tune. ...

  • Abstract:  Because of the strength of the Guitar Hero franchise, it really isnt hard to understand why Activision wanted to expand the series to the Nintendo DS: just slap a familiar brand on the packaging and youre bound to sell enough numbers to justify its e...

  • Guitar Hero: On Tour is a clever and challenging way to experience the music game that is taking the world by storm. There are a hundred ways Vicarious Visions could have screwed up bringing Guitar Hero to the DS. Somehow, they managed to avoid them al...

  • Abstract:  Now you can unleash your inner rock god anywhere you go. Just dont expect to look as cool as Hendrix when you trying to play Guitar Hero on the bus. The central attraction of the series has been its novel guitar controllers which help you feel youre...

  • Abstract:  With Activision now seen as the world’s number one publisher, it was a little acquisition of Red Octane which really got things cooking. Red Octane together with Harmonix had come up with what would become one of the biggest names in gaming of the m...

  • Fun multiplayer mode, solid track list, works with both DS consoles (original and Lite), its Guitar Hero!
  • Control scheme induces hand cramps, only 25 songs, too easy for experienced players The Final Word Vicarious Visions has managed to do what many thought impossible — translate the fun of Guitar Hero to the Nintendo DS. It wont let you live out your...
  • Vicarious Visions has managed to do what many thought impossible — translate the fun of Guitar Hero to the Nintendo DS. It wont let you live out your axeman fantasies, and the control scheme can be downright painful, but nevertheless, Guitar Hero: O...

  • The Guitar Grip works extremely well. The game packs all the best bits from the original Guitar Hero titles, plus it utilises the DS touch screen and microphone to great effect.
  • Playing more than 3-4 songs in one go is likely to risk some serious muscle strain – especially for owners of the original, older DS. Smaller fingers will struggle to reach some of the buttons. That infamous orange button is missing, but given the a...

  • Abstract:  You know, one with characters and story, and all that? Even so, at one of our wild NZGamer Christmas parties I gave it a shot. I got owned. Majorly. Epically, even. But with my bruised ego and lowered self-esteem I also came away realising what the fu...

  • Abstract:  My experience with Guitar Hero has been rather minimal. I did try to encourage myself to give it a go once but found I’d rather spend that money on a real video game. You know, one with characters and story, and all that? Even so, at one of our wild NZ...
