Never Thought It Could Be Done..
GH On Tour, features everything from the big brother games. A new style controller which ingeniously plugs into the GBA slot of the DS, looks just like buttons from the actual GH guitars minus a orange button, obviously for size reasons.
Graphics
What blows my mind, is just how good this game looks. The character models are highly detailed, they look just like their PS2 counterparts. Vicarious Visions really pulled something amazing off with the overall graphics engine.
Sound
The game features 25 tracks which are presented with amazing quality given the cartridge's size restraints. But loses points for having recycled songs from GH 3 and Rock Band, which are: Are You Gonna Be My Girl by JET(Rock Band) Black Magic Woman(GH3) Le Grange By ZZ Top(GH30) Overall outside from a few good songs, the choice of songs are rather pitiful.
Gameplay
The game plays just like it does on the console, utilizing a awesome controller unit that plugs into the GBA slot. The games comes packaged with a guitar pick stylus, that is used to strum the strings on the touch screen. The picking of the strings is highly accurate, but the problem will lie in find a balance between picking with your left, and pressing the buttons with your right. Its alot harder that it seems to be. But the bottom line is that the gameplay is absolutely great. It has the right balance to keep you coming back for more, and also has a multiplayer mode that will allow you face off against friends. If you have any doubts about how the game will play, trust its good.
Overall GH On Tour is great game, and a techincal marvel. At fifty bucks it makes it the most expensive DS game to date, but its worth the price.
