The game will deliver a unique Guitar Hero(R) experience by challenging handheld gamers to rock out and prove their shredding skills on the most diverse set list of master tracks ever offered in a Guitar Hero game, including classic rock, alternative and pop favorites such as Nirvana, OK Go and No Doubt. And the payoff is worth it because Guitar Hero: On Tour is still a blast to play even in its condensed form. The game uses the local wireless abilities of the Nintendo DS to support both 2-player co-operative play and competitive play.

Utilising the revolutionary Guitar Hero Guitar Grip peripheral and a custom-designed Guitar Hero pick-stylus, Guitar Hero: On Tour leverages the unique abilities of Nintendo DS to bring a new dimension to hand-held gaming.

Utilising the revolutionary Guitar Hero Guitar Grip peripheral that fits snugly into the Nintendo DS’s Game Pak slot, Guitar Hero: On Tour gives fans a chance to shred along with their favourite tunes with complete portability. The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon information available to Activision as of the date of this release, and Activision assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

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.In other words, if you start with Hard and complete a song, you'll also be credited with the Easy and Medium difficulty levels of that song as well. And since you're strapped into the device it isn't the most comfortable -- or accurate -- guitar experience, and when you combine the playing and watching on the unit you're bound to get a little cramped up after a bit of playing.

It's an amazing accomplishment considering you're missing a key component: a full-sized guitar to give you the illusion and feel that you're actually playing an instrument in time to the music playing back at you.

On Tour was the second best-selling game across all systems for the month of June 2008, according to the NPD Group [42] selling more than 422,000 units. Vicarious Visions learned from the mistakes of the first game, improving the note progression in Decades to better facilitate the awkward Guitar Grip setup.

But something happened when Activision gave Vicarious Visions the go-ahead to turn the guitar jamming game into a portable product: the team actually took the project seriously. We've taken all of our learnings on the DS platform to date and pushed it to the limits to create a truly innovative Guitar Hero experience. And if you shift a little too much during play -- mostly to readjust your grip or to hand off the system to someone else -- the peripheral might come loose in the slot causing the game to halt in the same fashion as unplugging the guitar controller from the console. With a vast collection of Gibson guitars, five unlockable new venues and six characters to choose from – including two new rockers exclusive to the DS – players can personalise their Guitar Hero experience to their hearts’ desire. Also at the event, anyone who attended received a free Guitar Hero sticker, a temporary tattoo, and a special dog tag.Sign Up for free (or Log In if you already have an account) to be able to post messages, change how messages are displayed, and view media in posts.

With only 25 songs and no ability to download more, there is no real reason to play after completing a difficulty unless the player really likes a song or two. On the console, this is all played through a full-sized guitar that features a five-button fret bar, a strummer that recognizes up and down direction, a whammy bar to warble notes, and a motion sensor to trigger the star power. The games support the local wi-fi connection of the Nintendo DS to allow players to play against each other even if using different versions of the game, with songs being share in an ad hoc manner during play.
