Guitar Hero World Tour on Play Station 3
Guitar Hero World Tour is looking to double, if not surpass, Activision’s previous offering of GH 3: Legends of Rock. When the series first came out, it got massive response from gamers that it stamped music genre as one of the biggest in the industry. And as Activision has infused more changes into Guitar Hero WT, people are predicting another hit.
Guitar Hero World Tour delivers enhancements to the instrument, plus the much talked about music creator. Therefore, the opportunity to expand your rock star experience has been given much focus and emphasis in this title.
Expect the guitar to be part of the set, after all it is Guitar Hero World Tour, but there is also drums and vocals that are introduced into the foray. For die-hard guitar fans, don’t fret though because this particular instrument has had some tweaks done to make things more interesting.
The neck of the guitar has a touch strip which allows you to change notes by merely touching that part. And if you want to switch to star power anytime or go to the menu, you can now easily access the buttons. Meanwhile, the drum set for Guitar Hero WT is not banging loud. Moreover, the sound produced by the pad itself is now more realistic, varying based on the impact and speed of how the pads are hit.
The incredible customization feature for Guitar Hero World Tour is a great way to let out your inner rock star. We all know that you have real-life rock stars as playable characters, but you do have the option to create your own. You can customize their physical features and personal style, or according to what type of image you want for your character. Meanwhile, you can also customize your instruments to give them a unique finish that would reflect your personality.
Probably the biggest aspect of a game like Guitar Hero World Tour is the music. Expect to have a rockin’ good time with a tracklist that includes such bands as Linkin Park, Van Halen, Sublime, and Foo Fighters. For the gameplay elements, you can adjust the words according to the horizontal bar and the instruments based on the vertical scroll you see on-screen.
Aside from this lineup and a few other upcoming downloadable songs, you can create your own song through the music creator. This is a great way to experiment in creating your own songs, submit it to GH tunes, and who knows somebody else might download your song.
With up to five careers and non-linear difficulty progression, it allows you more control to enjoy Guitar Hero WT however you like. But for first-time gamers, the new beginner difficulty could certainly help you get started.
Activision is still mum about the pricing but expect it to be quite “competitive” with what else is in the market.
