Product Information

net is owned by Gamer Network Limited, a ReedPop company and subsidiary of Reed Exhibitions Limited. I was looking around to purchase one online, and was unsure if they all work with both DS and DS Lite. Players use the Guitar Hero pick-stylus on the touch screen to strum their favorite tunes and create their rock ‘n’ roll legacy in career .

Guitar Hero: On Tour has won several Nintendo awards from IGN for their 2008 Nintendo DS Best of 2008 feature, including Best Music/Rhythm Game, [33] Most Innovative Design, [34] and Best Local Multiplayer. The soundtrack features the most diverse set list of master tracks ever offered in a Guitar Hero game, including classic rock, alternative and pop favourites. The game uses a "Guitar Grip" hardware unit that fits into the Game Boy Advance slot on the DS or DS Lite to recreate the experience of the console-based guitar controllers normally used with the game; this unit is incompatible with the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS due to the lack of the slot on the DSi hardware. You then turn the DS sideways like a book and use a provided plastic pick to strum the touch-screen guitar and rock your socks off. Also at the event, anyone who attended received a free Guitar Hero sticker, a temporary tattoo, and a special dog tag.Guitar Hero: On Tour takes the core component of the Red Octane original and its gazillion console sequels and accurately reduces it for play on the Nintendo DS. Players can connect wirelessly to compete with their friends in head-to-head Guitar Duels or shred cooperatively with multiplayer modes including Face Off, Pro Face Off and Co-Op. Reviews reported difficulty in keeping the DS unit steady while playing with the Grip, making it difficult to follow the note patterns on the screen. Summary Guitar Hero: On Tour continues to build on the franchise’s signature easy-to-play, yet difficult to master addictive gameplay, and now lets players take their experience on the road wherever they go.

They can be playable through Action Replay codes to bypass the Guitar Grip check and change controls but it's recommended to play on a Nintendo DS Lite. Additionally, a Decades player can play with another player using On Tour, allowing any song from either setlist to be selected.Players use the Guitar Hero pick-stylus on the touch screen to strum their favorite tunes and create their rock 'n' roll legacy in career mode. For those who have, jumping into the Hard difficulty might pose a slight challenge but Expert will still manage to kick your ass. You also lose out on the social aspect of having observers watch you jam out to rock classics and contemporary hits -- but if my experience with the game in public is anything to go by, you'll end up with a few lookie-loos peering over your shoulder as you jam out on the Nintendo DS because it's such an unexpectedly cool experience. And then there's the multiplayer component: you can play each song cooperatively with back-up and lead guitars split between two players over a wireless local connection.
