Guitar Hero World Tour Hands-On Preview
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 04:39pm 05/09/08 | 4 Comments
At this year's Activate Asia, Activision Blizzard's annual media and retail conference for Pacific Asia, we got to get down and dirty with a handful of tracks from the upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour, completely as a band with bass, drums, mic and guitar.

We've also had Rock Band for a while now making it a lot easier to call judgement on the two titles going head-to-head, and while there's no solid date or the like for EA's forthcoming sequel, you should be able to get a pretty good idea of the differences between the two and their strength's and weaknesses.

Hit this link for our full thoughts, and jump over to our Guitar Hero World Tour game page for all
related media and information.

Nice write up, Steve. What system did you play this on? I'm curious how hardware on the PS3 version will be, because I didn't find the GH3 wireless guitar very responsive (compared to my old PS2 wireless).

Played on 360, which is the version I play at home on GHIII. Very responsive, not sure how it'll roll on PS3 tbh

"Hugely popular alternative metal band Tool, known for their epic, intense musical arrangements and killer visual arts, will also soon be known for their contribution to the upcoming Guitar Hero® World Tour. Guitar Hero fans from all over the world will be able to rock out to “Parabola” and Grammy-award winning “Schism” from Tool’s critically-acclaimed 2001 album Lateralus in addition to “Vicarious” from their 2006 Grammy-award winning album 10,000 Days. The game will also feature an all-new venue designed in collaboration with the band and highlighting the art style that has become a staple in their music videos, live shows and album artwork.”

This game is looking more and more like a winner. Especially after reading that write up about it. Not to mention the play list is pretty damn impressive.
