Guitar Hero World Tour




Start a Band…the Guitar Hero Way

Guitar Hero World Tour transforms music gaming by expanding Guitar Hero’s signature guitar gameplay into a cooperative band experience that combines advanced wireless instruments with online and offline gameplay modes including online Band Career and 8-player “Battle of the Bands,” which allows two full bands to compete head-to-head online. The game features a Music Studio music creator that lets players compose, record, edit and share their own rock ‘n’ roll anthems.

Be the Next Great Songwriter

Music Studio lets players express their musical creativity by giving them access to a full complement of tools to create digital music from scratch utilizing the guitar controller and drum kit. Players can create their tracks and then play them in-game or share the recordings with the entire Guitar Hero community through GHTunes. GHTunes allows other gamers from around the world to download and play the community’s original tracks.

Create the Band

Budding rock stars can live out their rock ‘n’ roll fantasies by playing either a single instrument or any combination of instruments, in addition to the full band experience. When rocking as part of a band, up to four players can jam together in quickplay or as they progress through a career. Both band and single-player careers feature non-linear progression giving artists the option to change difficulty and instruments with a variety of different gigs available at any time.


Never Jam Solo Again

Virtual musicians in need of band mates can take their careers online forming worldwide ensembles so no rock star ever has to play a gig solo. Plus, GHWT adds a “Battle of the Bands” modes, which allows eight players to join online and challenge each other band-to-band to establish global supremacy.


A Game Play Mode Just for the Wii

Jump into the “Mii Freestyle” game play mode that is unique to the Wii. Create Blues, Rock or Metal masterpieces by yourself, or join with friends to jam freely together on guitar controllers and the drum kit controller.


Customize Everything

The character creator allows gamers to create a rock star with style as unique as their own. Absolute customization from the clothes, to the facial and body structure, to the tattoos and accessories, players are encouraged to unleash their inner rock legend. The Rock Star Creator doesn’t just allow players to build the ultimate rock god; the in-depth creators include the ability to customize guitars, drums and microphones. Adding yet another layer of personalization, gamers can create custom logos for their instruments, band, or album covers.


A Set List for the Ages

There are over 85 tracks, plus frequent downloadable singles and track packs.

5 Stars Guitar Hero World Tour
This for me is the most enjoyable of the Guitar Hero games. I love the available songs and this version for the Wii finally allows you to download songs. All in all I love playing Guitar Hero World Tour

This is a really fun game! My son and I are working on a career together which is alot of fun and it takes alot of work! This is not easy!!!! It enables us to spend time together and sometimes I think that I can really sing!

4 Stars Trying to decide between GHWT and RB2 for a family?
Since I have both games, I’ll highlight the differences. First off, I bought this primarily for my kids and I to play together (I have two daughters, 6 and 14 years old).

GHWT has a “strum only” mode, so its difficulty levels are offset from those on Rockband 2 (Easy on RB2 is a bit harder than Beginner on GHWT, but easier than Easy on GHWT, for example). Singing seems to be a bit more difficult on GHWT than on RB2. The difference between difficulty of playing bass and lead guitar is greater on GHWT than on RB2 (in RB2, there are some quite difficult bass songs, whereas on GHWT every song seems much easier on bass than on lead). In both games, drumming is MUCH harder than any of the other parts. At the lower levels on RB2, singing is dead easy.

RB2 allows you to set up stand-ins for your computer-controlled players, so you can have the same band members when everyone isn’t playing (for example, on very difficult songs my youngest will sit out, but I can still select “her” character as the singer, so she still feels like she’s participating…also, we generally don’t do the drums, but we can have the same character as our drummer, which gives us more of a band feel). There are several other subtle differences like this that give RB2 more of a roleplaying feel than GHWT.

Most importantly for those of us who are challenged in the area of manual dexterity, RB2 has a no-fail mode, which allows you to finish the song even if one of your members totally flubs it. If you’re playing this as an occasional party game, or with young kids, that’s very helpful.

In general, I’d say if you’re more serious, looking primarily for a challenge and focused primarily on playing the guitar, GHWT is what you’re looking for. I would also recommend GHWT if everyone in your family or gaming group is of similar skill levels. If you’re more into the atmosphere of creating a band, looking for a party game and something fun to do together in a family with members of different skill levels, RB2 is a better choice.

If you want to get both games (which I did), get the controllers for Guitar Hero, as they work for both games.

5 Stars Love the different songs!
Having the first guitar hero for a year, decided to buy this version. I love the different songs, and as the first edition, guitar hero fails to disappoint. I am no where near expert, but love this version, and very glad I bought another guitar so we can play each other. No problems, and love this version so far!

5 Stars Family Game Night
We LOVE this game. It’s our first GH/RB game, and we really enjoy playing it on family night and when we have people over.
