Guitar Hero: On Tour

"Mixed reactions" Guitar Hero On Tour is a viable option if you really need Guitar Hero to go, but its mechanical issues can't be ignored. Continue »

6.0 fair

I thought this was pretty amusing at the time; this was at the height of my Guitar Heroics, when my friends Al, Megu, Maurice and Sneezy would throw the little plastic fisher-price guitars behind their heads with me as we competed, playing through riffs on Expert without skipping a beat (until my arms tired out and I had to descend to earth once again).
