Amazon.com Product Description

Start a Band...the Guitar Hero Way

Guitar Hero World Tour transforms music gaming by expanding Guitar Hero's signature guitar gameplay into a cooperative band experience that combines advanced wireless instruments with online and offline gameplay modes including online Band Career and 8-player "Battle of the Bands," which allows two full bands to compete head-to-head online. The game features a Music Studio music creator that lets players compose, record, edit and share their own rock ‘n’ roll anthems.

*Note: The instruments are sold seperately.

Drum Customization

Eye of the Tiger

Music Studio

Ozzy Osbourne

The Whole Band

Be the Next Great Songwriter

Music Studio lets players express their musical creativity by giving them access to a full complement of tools to create digital music from scratch utilizing the guitar controller and drum kit. Players can create their tracks and then play them in-game or share the recordings with the entire Guitar Hero community through GHTunes. GHTunes allows other gamers from around the world to download and play the community's original tracks. Available to PlayStation 3 gamers is Line 6's guitar tone technology, enabling them to use amps, cabs, and effects from the Line 6 POD.

Create the Band

Budding rock stars can live out their rock ‘n’ roll fantasies by playing either a single instrument or any combination of instruments, in addition to the full band experience. When rocking as part of a band, up to four players can jam together in quickplay or as they progress through a career. Both band and single-player careers feature non-linear progression giving artists the option to change difficulty and instruments with a variety of different gigs available at any time.

Never Jam Solo Again

Virtual musicians in need of band mates can take their careers online forming worldwide ensembles so no rock star ever has to play a gig solo. Plus, GHWT adds a "Battle of the Bands" modes, which allows eight players to join online and challenge each other band-to-band to establish global supremacy.

Customize Everything

The character creator allows gamers to create a rock star with style as unique as their own. Absolute customization from the clothes, to the facial and body structure, to the tattoos and accessories, players are encouraged to unleash their inner rock legend. The Rock Star Creator doesn't just allow players to build the ultimate rock god; the in-depth creators include the ability to customize guitars, drums and microphones. Adding yet another layer of personalization, gamers can create custom logos for their instruments, band, or album covers.

A Set List for the Ages

The Guitar Hero World Tour set list is comprised entirely of master recordings from some of the greatest artists of all-time including Van Halen, Linkin Park, The Eagles, and Sublime. There are over 85 tracks, plus frequent downloadable singles and track packs. In addition to the killer track list, the game will feature rock icons such as Hayley Williams of Paramore and Travis Barker of +44 and blink-182.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works With Rockband Generation One Guitars and Drums, October 29, 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
The other reviewers tell you everything you need to know about the game. It's a lot of fun. I couldn't find a clear answer before buying it to whether or not my rock band guitar and drums would work with it. Thus, the point of this review is to let you know that YES they will work. You don't have to buy a whole new set of equipment. This isn't meant to discourage you from buying them if that's what you want. I'm just letting you know you don't have to if you own the first generation or Rock Band equipment. I, personally, just don't have the space to house two drums sets. I wouldn't have bought the game if the controllers weren't compatible for that reason. My only small complaint is that some of the songs on Rockband 2 and GH WT overlap but there's enough songs that don't (Hotel California and Purple Haze) that it's worth buying both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Legend of rock gets made even better with a ton of new features., October 26, 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This is a good enough game for even those who can not pony up the dough for full kit or a new guitar, just get the game and play just bass and guitar, and let your inner rock fury go!

I myself purchased this band kit as soon as I could this morning the day of release, and it is well worth it. Here is what comes it the kit: Drum kit(3 pads, 2 cymbal risers, kick pedal) with midi in and expansion port, drumsticks, usb microphone, guitar with connector/usb splitter, stickers for guitar. All you need to connect in one box, no need for extra usb hub if you do not want it.

A bit about the drum kit, very playable, durable upper, kick pedal is a bit flimsy, but alright for my purposes.

A bit about the new guitar. This features detachable faceplate, extended neck, larger strum bar, longer whammy bar, and the tap/touch pad. this guitar is not necessary for any features in the game, but for advanced gamers, they may find it a new fun way to bend the sounds on long notes, or get through hammer-ons and pull offs faster. I'm pleased I can get through this on the old Les Paul.

Now, about the game itself, see song listing above, it's amazing. Just a ton more songs available in the game, only a few to "purchase" in the game, the rest unlock. The venues and graphics are all sharp and fantastic to look at. The animation of the Guests who come in are spot on, such as Ted Nugent riding in on a Bison, or Zach Wilde's attitude behind the 6 string. There are many other guest such as Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumkins, the Lead Singer of Paramore, and the drummer from Blink 182. Overall the game play will keep you busy for many hours (took me almost 4 hours to get 50% through, minimal breaks). The head to head battle's with guitar legends is now replace by guitar challenges with masters like Ted Nugent And Zach Wilde where you don't try to cut strings and stuff, you just try to keep up with them and make yourself and them look good. If you do, you play an encore with them.

Also, there is a recording studio that allows users to make and play their own music, a first like this for this genre (though rock revolution tried). And much like legends of rock, there is online team play, head to head battling.

If you do not have another "Band Kit" and are looking to have one, this is an excellent choice, and having played Rock band and Rock Band Two, this is at or above both of those, especially since they are all "Master Recordings", no covers, and it has plenty of great songs fulfill my need to thrash, rock, or pop my way about stage.

4.0 out of 5 stars So close but no cigar........., November 12, 2008
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This is a good game but it falls short in a couple of areas:

Pros (always good to stay positive at first):

Music that just isn't available anywhere else
Death Magnetic Album (tight)
Recording Studio is kinda cool I like how you can pick scales and effects with your axe (more on that in Cons)
Create Rock Star is really in depth
Compatibility with RB instruments (biggest plus)

Cons

DLC Content is practically non existent (yes it is new but at least support all of GH:3's content would have made up for it)
Graphics are not as good as they could/should be
Recording Studio is like a create your own ringtone studio......vocals should be in there in some medium......maybe they just can't publish vocals on the net
The instruments don't sync that well with the TV and Calibration does little to fix this



Overall GH:WT is a fun game and its worth it if you just love this genre of games to own as it gives you more songs to play. I just think Activision should have stuck to what they were doing before. People love the GH games and with the Artists that they always get they will sell games. I think GH: Aerosmith is cool and I am sure GH: Metallica will sell a lot of games.
