If you are immune to hand cramps\discomfort, then this game is for you, but with another On Tour already out, save the $
Well getting the hang of the game wouldn't be too bad if it were comfortable to play it! This game isn't a really bad game so don't think off the bat that is plains sucks. It's just not great, not the best, but some of the songs are good (based on my opinion)
Well wait, there's only 25 songs... idk how many are in On Tour Decades, but realllllly... 25 songs is the best they could do? Some of the songs are crap while others are already playable on other Guitar Heroes or maybe even Rock Band I don't keep track any more. This game is pretty unique because it is a lot like strumming a guitar. But only if it didn't feel so wierd. And the hand cramps? Yeah read any other freakin review on here I bet almost every single one at least mentions it. Most people do experience these cramps and discomforts.
More about the game... you have your standard easy, medium, hard, and expert difficulties. The graphics aren't that great but all you need to see is the notes which are clear enough. I do have to say that playing this game can be an eye sore, literally, all the notes going down on a small screen can easily make you lose track of where you are. Also activating star power is kinda dumb because you have to make sound so the Mic picks it up and that's it. The whammy bar is decent though.
I'll go ahead and wrap this up by rating Guitar Hero: On Tour in seperate categories.
graphics: 6\10
gameplay: 6.6\10 (too short, not many features)
controls: 4\10 for obvious reasons
multiplayer: 6\10
sound: 8.5\10 forgot to mention, the sound is pretty good
Overall: 6.5\10
I would say to just skip these Guitar Hero on the DS games unless you really think it will be worth it for you. They have already made a sequal to this game after not even 6 months so I would anticipate even more of them, which meens more more money to spend.
