Guitar Hero World Tour

Yes, that's right, Guitar Hero Aerosmith hasn't even arrived and here is Red Octane and Activision getting us pumped up for Guitar Hero World Tour!!!!!!!



Since not much is known about this game, this post will simply be a small preview of the game's new features. It will be launching for the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, and Wii and, like Rock Band, have guitar, bass, drums, and a microphone. No actual gameplay videos have been released so no one knows if that will be similar to Rock Band as well.

The drum kit will slightly differ from Rock Band. Instead of the four drum pads, it will have three, but don't worry. The yellow and orange are two symbols elevated above the actual drum pads! The bass pedal stays where it is, so now the drum set is even more realistic than Rock Band. In total, six things to hit/crash/beat/stomp on and the pads even sense how hard you hit them. The harder you hit, the louder the note.

The guitar will also get a makeover, with a sweet new black face and what looks to be similar to the solo buttons on the Rock Band guitar. Not much has been release about the microphone. The game will also feature extensive online play including the ability to have four friends at your house, as one band, against another four people, online, in a battle of the bands mode.

There is an expected fall release with big expectations, so let it be that Guitar Hero World Tour be one to remember.
