Guitar Hero: On Tour

Also known as: Guitar Hero DS

Tour canceled due to broken wrists

True, there's nothing else like it out there, and if you absolutely adore Guitar Hero and desperately need a weeklong fix before Aerosmith and World Tour launch, it's there. Just know you'll be going it alone, as this isn't a party game, no matter what the atrociously hyperactive ads claim. Multiplayer is mostly like Guitar Hero III, with attack items or without, but again, going up against someone with a DS in your face is about a fifth as cool as dueling side by side with a fellow faux-rocker.



Above: NO

By the time we had finished the last song and played several one-on-one duels against the computer and friends, there was no reason to keep playing, no drive to improve our scores. Yet every time someone sees that Guitar Grip plugged in, they have to play and try for themselves. Hell many of us kept trying to like it even after swearing it off for fear of permanent wrist damage, which goes to show how enduringly popular the series is. Sadly, that fandom doesn't make On Tour anything more than a curiosity to be indulged and then discarded in favor of another round of full-sized guitar heroism.

this game is great but is hard to play cause whenever you strum it shakes the DS

It hurts, so much. I got through the entire campaign on medium, then fell over crying in pain, and started cutting myself for wasting my money on a Carpal Tunnel simulator -.-
