The wireless guitar, no longer a Gibson copy but with a look close to a gorgeous Paul Reed Smith, is probably the strongest axe peripheral yet.

From memory, the rack is also a little easier to put together and a bit more rugged in use than the Rock Band equivalent. The Microphone remains wired, but the drums are wireless, velocity sensitive and swap one of the Rock Band kit’s four pads for a high-hat and cymbal. In many ways, Guitar Hero’s instruments are an improvement on Rock Band’s. That it would provide would-be Guitar Heroes with a way to create their own music was not, and while Guitar Hero: World Tour still has a few failings, it’s the combination of these features with a still excellent single-player mode that makes it such a compelling proposition.

That this Guitar Hero would feature bass, drums and vocals for the full band experience was only to be expected. Without Rock Band we would not have Guitar Hero: World Tour, and without Guitar Hero: World Tour we would not have the best Guitar Hero ever made.Ĭompetition seems to have bought out the best in Activision and Neversoft, and forced the publisher and developer to not just contend with Rock Band, but try to find somewhere new to take the series. ”’Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Wii – Xbox 360 version reviewed.”’
