Each instrument has a little bit more flare with this game then “Rock Band.” The microphone is the same you can’t do much to snazzy up a microphone. “Guitar Hero World Tour” is set up like “Rock Band” with a microphone, guitar, drum kit, and the game itself that has around 100 kick ass songs. Then a nemesis to “Guitar Hero” came along and threatened the series’ standing in the rocking community and that nemesis has a name… “Rock Band.” It was a great equalizer among gamers and non-gamers alike everyone loved “Guitar Hero.” So of course two sequels and a couple spin-offs have followed, doing what most game sequels do adding more bells and whistles such as making the guitar wireless and improving the two player mode to involve guitar battles and guitar/bass co-op play. I picked this game up immediately and my face was rocked off! I had never played anything so fun and with the moderation in difficulty level all my friends and family joined in. The difficulty on this game ranges from Easy (for people brand new and rhythmically challenged) to Expert (reserved mainly for Japanese kids on YouTube and 13 year olds with no jobs or real responsibilities). The screen has a fret board running across the middle where different colored icons scroll from the top to the bottom, your goal is to hit the corresponding color on the guitar on the correct beat in the song. The original game set up is that you pick from a list of 30 rocking tunes, including Smoke on the Water and Iron Man, and jam out with your guitar controller.
