Instead, it comes as an alternative for those who always blame Star Power for making them miss notes. The Star Power button is not here to replace the tilt activation. The new guitar also includes a couple of Start buttons and a nice Star Power button in addition to a joystick to be able to navigate through menus easily. Since players won't be forced to use the slide bar, I don't think many of them will actually make the transition, but we'll see. These notes can also be played with the regular fret buttons, without the need of using the strum bar. You can use the slide bar to perform "tap strumming" or hit "open notes," which are notes with a purple line running through them. This is a nice added feature, but it's not easy to get used to it. It continues to be a Guitar Hero guitar with the five fret buttons apart from each other, but it also has a newly-added, touch-sensitive slide bar on the neck. Other than that, the guitar is actually very different. I don't have anything against that I just thought it'd be funny to point that out. It's as if these two developers were at each other's throats and were using copycat tactics to get back at one another. It's not exactly the same style as the one found in Rock Band 2, but it has a certain resemblance, which made me giggle when I first saw it.
On the other hand, the kick pedal is not covered with a metallic plate (like Rock Band 2), but we haven't had problems with it so far.Īs far as the guitar goes, players will notice the new guitar has a nice, wood-like finish. The soft rubber material used for the pads is close to ideal because, not only does it somewhat neutralize the extra noise, but it also provides a nice bounce. World Tour's drum set is slightly quieter than its competitor, and it even has a nice nook where you can place the sticks when not using them. Even when playing on Easy difficulty settings, players will have to hit all five pads, in addition to the bass pedal. The structure holds three main drum pads and two cymbals, which are already included with the game (as opposed to Rock Band, where the cymbals are sold separately). World Tour's drum set is mostly made of plastic, it's wireless, and it has a different, color-coded layout. If you're in the process of choosing between Guitar Hero: World Tour or Rockband / Rockband 2, get ready to read, because the decision is going to be difficult!įirst of all, the instruments are very comparable. Even though its fierce EA / MTV / Harmonix competitor had offered players the chance to use drums and a microphone in addition to the already popular virtual guitar, I doubted the original music game franchise would be ticked enough to end up following their very steps.Īpparently, I was wrong, as Guitar Hero comes back this time around with a set of drums, a microphone, and of course, a new and sleek guitar design that is sure to please the masses.
Until then, I thought everything was about the guitar in Guitar Hero. When I first heard the Guitar Hero franchise was going to expand their horizons and add new band members to the formula, I was surprised.
