INTRODUCTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE POSITIVES
Just Right – Great With Friends – Great Soundtrack – Great Controls
--------------------------------------------------------
THE NEGATIVES
Can get boring when playing on your own
--------------------------------------------------------
Guitar Hero World Tour is a very fun game to play, more so when you play with friends or online.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****GRAPHICS*****
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The graphics in World Tour is good, but you will hardly every look at what's going on in the background because you'll be concentrating on what note/s to hit next. If you do however take notice of the background you will find the graphics to be good, but really only on stage. The overall designs of the characters are kind of cartoony look and the crowd are just fuzzy wave cut outs, but still good nonetheless World Tour is more about game-play then graphics.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****GAME-PLAY*****
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what Guitar Hero is all about, the game-play. The game-play is really great and even greater when you have friends over. You can make up a band with your friends and play against other bands online, or just play single player bands just for fun. There are four instruments to play with, Guitar (As you would expect), Drums, Bass Guitar or you can sing. All four works really well and really does feel like your playing in a real band. There is a MASSIVE soundtrack to master in World Tour like, Beastie Boys, Bon Jovi, Jimi Hendrix, Korn, Linkin Park, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Michael Jackson, Muse, Tool and many, MANY more to unlock and including downloadable content. Compose, record, edit and share your own music online. The guitar has a new feature that lets you slid in note like you would with a real guitar called the neck slider. A neat touch pad on the guitar that lets you slid up and down the guitar. If you don't like playing with friend (For whatever reasons) you can play solo on career mode that lets you choice which instrument to play, if you have the instrument that is. You can make up your own rocker character or pick between lots of World Tour character to play with. The game-play is very addictive and you may find it hard to put down the guitar. There are five difficulty settings, Beginners, which seriously, a monkey could do. Easy, Normal, which I found a good level to start out on if your new to Guitar Hero. Hard, which does mean faster fingers and the use of the orange button. Expert, you are a true Guitar Hero. There's really not much more to say. The game-play is fluent enough to pick up and play and is a lot of fun.

*****SOUND DESIGN*****
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sound is excellent with over 50 licensed soundtracks and every one of them sounds awesome and is the real deal. The sound from the guitar, the music, the crowd cheering, it's 100% spot on… and what you should expect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****LIFE VALUE*****
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lifespan is ok. Career mode could last about 4 hours, which may be short, but you have over 50 licensed soundtracks to unlock, play with and to master. There is an online feature as will where you can play with or against friends or strangers, and against bands. Guitar Hero can be boring on your own after a while, but where you have someone to play with, it's pretty good.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****EDITOR'S FINAL THOUGHTS*****
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I though World Tour is a very fun game to play whether on your own or with friends, but of coarse, it's more fun with friends. I would not recommend Guitar Hero to everyone. If you like good classic hard rock or metal music, this is for you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****RECOMMENDATIONS*****
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you like previous Guitar Hero games, Rhythm games, Playing guitar… Guitar Hero is a very fun game.
