Guitar Hero World Tour invites you to put down your guitar – and pick up a pair of drum sticks or a microphone and rock out! World Tour adds the use of percussion and vocals to the rhythmic play.
Gameplay remains true to the original with improved mechanics resulting from the expanded capabilities. A new, "Beginner" difficulty setting lets newcomers get into the game and "Easy Rhythm" allows younger members of the family to join in. Play with local or online players and climb your way to the top with Band Career mode. Take your game online and compete against other players in battle of the band competitions.
All of the songs come from master tracks with bands ranging from the Eagles and Billy Idol to Sublime and Linkin Park. No more strict set lists. Play gigs through your "career" and choose which songs you want to master first. World Tour takes things to the next level by allowing you to create new songs – complete with lead, bass and rhythm guitar and drums – and upload and share your tunes. World Tours adds a USB microphone and wireless drum set along with increased functionality to the guitars. The drum set is velocity sensitive - letting players alter the sound of the two toms, snare, the pair of symbols and the bass drum pedal. The included guitar features an additional touchpad which lets players alter the tone of sustained notes as well as supporting other methods of guitar play.

Improved Guitar Hero
- Pros: This game is very fun to play. The drums have two cymbals in addition to the 3 main pads. The new guitar has a cool touch sensor pad on the neck that you can tap on for solos instead of strumming. The characters are cool. I like that I can have friends over and play as Ozzy, Billy Corgan, Sting, Travis Barker, etc. in the game. Good song list too.
- Cons: Small song list available for download compared to RB2 currently, but they are releasing 3 a week now.
- Other Thoughts: Game is compatible with software for RB2. I think if you have neither like I did its better to get this for the better instruments and then buy the RB2 disc later.
Another Perfect Transaction
- Pros: Best Quality Drum Kit Ive seen. The Guitar is sharp/classic looking. But the Drums truly Sweet. Takes a bit to get used to the format with one more pad to worry about, but makes for better play, because the sounds actually reflect symbols or drums. Unlike RockBand where the same pad can act as a drum or a symbol depending on the song. Ive Played on several Rock Band setups ( I, II, and Limited Beatles) and these are much better quality.
- Cons: foot pedal not really attached to anything... but it plugs into the main drum unit... not very easy for lifing the unit out of the middle of the room when not using.
It makes for more mobility while playing, so not all bad. Bottom of pedal is velcro, and rubber for both surface types... well done.
- Other Thoughts: Newegg shipping always dependable.
