About this product

Product Information

The first name in music instrument gaming returns with a Rock Band-esque focus on full band simulation, the ability for players to create their own music, and more than 80 new tracks in Guitar Hero: World Tour. For the first time in the series, wannabe rock stars can simulate singing and drumming in addition to the familiar strumming of guitar-shaped controllers, and with the addition of a bass guitar, up to four players can form a band and jam together. As with all titles in the Guitar Hero series, gamers must "play" their instruments by rhythmically matching onscreen prompts in order to earn high scores and unlock new songs. The singing mechanic resembles Karaoke Revolution and SingStar in that it requires vocalists to match the pitch and notes of each song, whereas drummers must be timely when depressing the kick drum and striking the proper combination of drum and cymbal pads.<br><br>A revamped single-player Career mode lets gamers advance their musician through a series of gigs by playing a specific number of songs, with the option to change difficulty level or instrument at any time. The Band Career mode works in a similar fashion, offering up to four players the opportunity to advance through a full career. Boss Battles also return in a form more akin to previous Face-Off modes, and they no longer feature the attack power-ups used in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. Gamers can use the new "Create-a-Rocker" feature to customize the posture, age, hair, makeup, and tattoos of their unique characters, and real-life rock legends such as Ozzy Osbourne, Jim Hendrix, and Ted Nugent are also playable.<br><br>The song list spans several decades and is made up of a diverse selection of master recordings by artists such as: 311, the Allman Brothers Band, the Beastie Boys, Billy Idol, Blondie, Coldplay, the Cult, the Doors, the Eagles, the Foo Fighters, Jane's Addiction, Jimi Hendrix, Korn, Linkin Park, Los Lobos, Metallica, Michael Jackson, Modest Mouse, Motorhead, Nirvana, No Doubt, NOFX, Oasis, Ozzy Osbourne, Pat Benetar, R.E.M, the Sex Pistols, Steely Dan, Sting, the Stone Roses, Sublime, Tool, Van Halen, and Willie Nelson. In addition, players can create their own songs in the Advanced Studio mode by playing tracks for each instrument in either real or slowed time. Songs can be either 1,200 notes long or three minutes in length, but vocal recording is unavailable due to storage issues.

    Great gameplay and song selection

    Over all this game has great songs and good gameplay just like most other Guitar Hero games. I think the graphics are pretty bad but it is a PS2 game and this was before the better developers purchased the series rights. For a rhythym game the only important things are the song list and the actual gameplay so I would give it a 5/5 using those metrics.

    Game goes to loading screen for a VERY long time, then turns black. The disc looks fine though, case and manual look good to so I'm not sure what the issue is.

  • Great songs to play.

    This game was in perfect condition. I just wish I still had my tv from 10 years ago. It's not quite the same on a new tv but that is not the game's fault.

  • Great game!

    The game works perfectly, loads fast, and everything. And even came before the expected delivery date. Very cool game for anyone looking for a time. Recommended.

  • Disc problem

    I'm able to play a big majority of the songs, but not all of them. The game starts to glitch after a while and then I'll have to restart the system and try to go back to where I left off and it messes up again in the same section. None of the other Guitar Hero games that I've purchased on this website have done this.

  • Not as described, but as pictured

    I wanted Guitar Hero World Tour. I guess I just read the description and didn't really look hard at the photo. I received Guitar Hero 3, Legends of Rock. Which is actually what is pictured. I wish I would have looked at the picture closer. That's not at all what I wanted. Oh well. Lesson learned.
