    Good but not worth it unless you really want portable!

    Guitar Hero: On Tour has the same basic game play elements that the last tree had in the past, you press the colour of the note coming down the highway and when it reaches the bottom you strum. In the past though, games had a plastic guitar peripheral, On Tour has a peripheral as well, but you use the DS touch screen to do the strumming. In this guitar hero, the "Guitar-Grip" only has four buttons, but don't let that confuse you, It still has a pretty challenging difficulty. The song selection ranges from the 80's to the present. The track list though, could have been better, and also a little longer. Many songs like "All Star" from Disney's Shrek and "This Love" by Maroon 5 were songs that were put in(even though they shouldn't have). Also a few songs like "Rock and Roll all Night" were put in as seen in previous Guitar Hero's. The bottom line is that 1. It's Guitar Hero, and 2. It's Portable. Finally, i have heard many complaints, saying the the Guitar-Grip hurts your arm after a while, I have found a way to play it without the burning sensation in your hand. If you play with just your thumb in and the rest of your fingers out, it gives you control over the guitar-grip and freedom for the rest of your fingers.

    Good: 1. Its Portable
    2. most of the songs are fun to play

    Bad: 1. Short track list
    2. Only four buttons
    3. Not the best guitar hero as far as track list selection goes

Lately, however, there has been a major influx of these games in all forms, literally saturating the market with three different versions of a guitar game on every system. Some try to be innovative with their creations, such as Harmonix and Rock Band, and some attempt inno...

       Let it never be said that developer Vicarious Visions lacks innovation and ambition: These folks have often tried to push the limit of portable hardware, first with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on the Gameboy Advance and then in trying to craft a 60-frames-per-second 3D graphics engine for Spider Man 2 DS on the handheld's launch day. With the new guitar grip, Vicarious Visions has made the unthinkable happen. Guitar Hero: On Tour IS Guitar Hero on your DS. It's not some cut-down version where you...
