Guitar Hero World Tour is looking to double, if not surpass, Activision's previous offering of GH 3: Legends of Rock. When the series first came out, it got massive response from gamers that it stamped music genre as one of the biggest in the industry. And as Activision has infused more changes into Guitar Hero WT, people are predicting another hit.
Guitar Hero World Tour delivers enhancements to the instrument, plus the much talked about music creator. Therefore, the opportunity to expand your rock star experience has been given much focus and emphasis in this title.
Apart from the titular instrument, expect to get vocals and drum peripherals to go along with Guitar Hero World Tour. But the guitar still takes on the lead role with some major enhancements done for a better musical experience.
The neck of the guitar has a touch strip which allows you to change notes by merely touching that part. And if you want to switch to star power anytime or go to the menu, you can now easily access the buttons. Meanwhile, the drum set for Guitar Hero WT is not banging loud. Moreover, the sound produced by the pad itself is now more realistic, varying based on the impact and speed of how the pads are hit.
The incredible customization feature for Guitar Hero World Tour is a great way to let out your inner rock star. We all know that you have real-life rock stars as playable characters, but you do have the option to create your own. You can customize their physical features and personal style, or according to what type of image you want for your character. Meanwhile, you can also customize your instruments to give them a unique finish that would reflect your personality.
Because Guitar Hero World Tour is a music game, having a good track list is important. With bands like Linkin Park, Sublime, Van Halen, or Foo Fighters, there's bound to be a tune you'd love to play. Meanwhile, the gameplay still consists of the typical vertical scroll and horizontal bar to adjust instruments and words, respectively.
Aside from this lineup and a few other upcoming downloadable songs, you can create your own song through the music creator. This is a great way to experiment in creating your own songs, submit it to GH tunes, and who knows somebody else might download your song.
Other gameplay elements included in Guitar Hero WT include a maximum of five careers to choose from and a non-linear difficulty progression that suits everyone. For starters to this game, you can practice your guitar and music skills through the new beginner difficulty.
Activision is still mum about the pricing but expect it to be quite "competitive" with what else is in the market.
