Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I picked this up at midnight for the launch at Wal-Mart.I couldn't afford the band kit just yet, so this review is based solely on the Guitar Kit for the Wii.
And about that new guitar controller... it's just nothing short of amazing.The fret buttons are lightly spaced apart more, and we have a touch pad to work with.This pad is very useful for tapping during solos, making it easier to keep your multiplier going when you need it to.There's also a dedicated star power button next to a more sturdy strum bar.Add all of that to the more heavy-duty feel of the controller and you've got what Guitar Hero fans have been wanting since its start in 2005.
Now, the software... once again, it's fantastic.Wii owners like myself were disappointed when Guitar Hero III was released to the system sans downloadable content.The online capability was nice, but no new content left a stale taste after a while.This time around, Activision redeemed themselves by not only adding DLC, but allowing the option to save it to an SD card rather than to the limited memory on the Wii.The premium songs are reasonably priced at around 200 Wii Points (or $2) per song.Also, several online play modes have been added to keep you busy, even if you're limited to only one instrument.
There's a new Music Studio feature that allows you to make your own music and share it online with other players.While a very nice feature indeed, at first it can seem overwhelming with the vast variety of choices for your sound.This mode is best to be explored with a full band however.In the mean-time, there's a very fun (and very Wii-exclusive) feature called "Mii Freestyle," which enables even the most "newbish" players to make some beautiful sounds.One person can play with a guitar controller, while the other joins in with the drum kit or the Wii Remote and Nunchuck.
In addition, Quickplay now allows you to earn in-game cash while you're playing.Also, you're now able to pick up to six songs for your Quickplay session.In-game cash can be used to unlock bonus material, new guitars, new characters, and even new customizations for your own in-game character.Oh by the way, you can create your own rocker now too.
I may have even forgotten a few slight details, but the point is that no matter what route you go down, Guitar Hero World Tour is definitely a worthy title to add to your Wii collection, and is easily the most addicting video game of 2008.
