Do not handle instruments directly after eating.
According to the web site, this box "brings all your favorites together for an over-the-top concert of flavor." Also: "Man, that’s a lot of food!"
I know there have been plenty of video game-related fast-food tie-ins in the past--Pokemon, Halo 3, etc.--but this one especially seems to be tapping into the World Tour release as some sort of cultural event or touchstone, no different from the latest Indiana Jones or Spider-Man kids' meal. That box of food is kind of weirding me out, actually.
While we're on the Guitar Hero tip, MTV Multiplayer has the most important bit of day-one information for World Tour.
Are you tired of bringing home a new music game, inviting friends to rock and discovering most of the good songs have to be unlocked?
In order to gain access to every “Guitar Hero” song on the disc, head to the “Cheats” section in the “Options” menu. Choose the prompt to enter a new cheat and toss in and press Blue, Blue, Red, Green, Green, Blue, Blue, Yellow.
Good to know! Lastly, Joystiq finagled a confirmation of Activision's DJ Hero game out of Neversoft's Brian Bright.
Didn't you say you're already working on another music game?
Activision's doing a DJ Hero game, and I can't comment on what we're doing. But... we're working on the future and next gen. If I wasn't excited about it I wouldn't be there.
Does the idea of plastic turntables on your coffee table do anything for you? I wanted to be all "Uh, remember Beatmania?" about this, but Jeff asserts that was just a standard rhythm game with DJ trappings, so maybe there's still room for this idea. I don't think there's room in my living room for it, though.
"Man, that's a lot of food." Is that really a PepsiCo tagline? That's fucking surreal.
It is a lot of food too, I can put food away like nobody's business, but that can't be for one person.
Guitar Hero has slowly started to suck ever since the lack of an 80's edition for the 360, and it's gotten worse every release. The editing tools are broken, the song list is questionable for anyone over the age of 19, and the instruments are reportedly so fucked up that you're better off just buying the disc and using whatever ones you've still got. The number of songs shared between Rock Band and GH are getting stupid as well. A solid 1/4 of the songs are in both (counting RB1 via import), so unless you just like the difficulty of GH, you're paying for songs you already have.
