I looked forward to World Tour for a long time, then was dissapointed with what I got.
First off, I should start with the praise worthy things. Like the drumset. Extremely durable, way more durable than RB's drumset. The guitar is also very nicely designed. The difficulty is not impossibly difficult as GH3. There's Crazy Train, Santeria, Hot For Teacher, Sweet Home Alabama, Mr. Crowley, Scream Aim Fire, Trapped Under ice, Beat It and Pull Me Under. That's it. The rest of the review is going to be about criticism (so if you're a GH fanboy, then leave). Um, let's see. Of 86 songs on the disk, the songs I listed are the only good one to play and enjoy. The rest either suck, aren't very fun to play or were already in Rock Band 2. Why couldn't they have chosen better songs like they did in GH3? I mean, even though "What I've Done" is a great song, it's too f*****g easy to be in any music game (if you can't FC that song on expert guitar, then you are an epic failure, because that song is the easiest one ever). Shame. Also alot of the songs are poorly charted. And what's with the foreign language songs or the songs that no one in the world has heard of. WTF?! Like "Aggro". What? I'm not sure; must not be that good if I can't remember it. As for online play, I said this alot "Wait; is this GH:WT or Rock Band 2?", because the interface and design seems eerily similar to RB's. The interface is poorly designed; its difficult to tell whether you're bandmate is failing out (by the time you realize your bandmate is about to fail, guess what? He probably already did fail.) And the custom song creation thingy is terrible. Its too damn difficult to actually make a song, and the quality of them is s****y. Just leaves a bad taste in your mouth after playing.
All in all, GH:WT was one -- for me -- of my most anticipated games of this year. But after I purchased RB2 (due to its excellent setlist) and saw GH;WT setlist, I just knew WT was going to be a "joke". Sure enough, it was and more. Just a huge dissapointment for me. I looked forward to World Tour for along time, then was dissapointed with what I got.
