The fourth game in the Guitar Hero series adds drums and vocals to the mix, along with a music studio that you can use to create new tracks and share them online.
It may have sold a bunch more but in my opinion, Guitar Hero: World Tour did not compare to Rock Band 2. The whole feel of the game was just cheap and old, yes they introduced drums and singing, but Rock Band did both better, and there so called music creator was actually laughable, not only was it ridiculously complicated, but didn't actually produce anything good. However, it looks like the guys at Activision have finally got off their arses and are ready to take the fight to Harmonix once more with Gutar Hero: Metallica. This game will have a few new features that actually seem quite interesting, a "Drum Over" system allows players to freestyle over any of the games songs, in place of the actual drum track, plus a new difficulty setting "Expert+" will introduce double kick pedals for super quick bass hits. I'm not saying their can only be one music game, but so far one is better, and until now i didn't see that changing.
