Video Game Reviews of Guitar Hero: On Tour
Customer Review: Same game with unexcusable annoyances
Summary: 3 Stars
This game has the same addicting gameplay that you'd expect from guitar hero but there are some major problems with it. First of all, the game is very short. Only 25 songs, it took less than 24 hours from purchasing it beat it on expert and I only failed about 10 times throughout the entire career. Not only that but there are at least 5 repeats from Guitar Hero III. Also, If you beat Guitar Hero III on expert you will find this game to be extremely easy,and that the only challenging part is because of a technical flaw and not technical skill, considering a touch screen isn't as reliable as a strum bar and the buttons are too small. Second, the buttons are really small and the positioning is extremely uncomfortable. My fingers hurt after just 2 songs the first time I played, it also hurt my wrist after a little while longer. For people who complain about pain and the possibilities of carpal tunnel from playing other Guitar Hero's, they're not even going to want to touch this one. It's bad. Oh, yeah and as a musician (though I believe even a casual listener could tell) it sounds like total crap, even with head phones on. Beyond all this it's still addictive, but it doesn't make it worth buying it full price. Heroins addictive too, what keeps you from buying that, its drawbacks. There is some innovation here though. The guitar duels are pretty fun and there is 12 or 13 different attacks if i'm not mistaken. When a string is broken you move the string from the bridge up the neck of the guitar with the stylus, your guitar can get set on fire and you blow on the mic to put it out. When your attacked with amp overload, the sound actually drops out. If you are truly an addict to this game, though unhealthy, that'd be the only way I could suggest this to you, even then, you probably won't like it as much. Either try it, buy it in a year when it's like 20 dollars used, or skip it altogether.
