A bit short, but a lot of fun
When I first heard of a DS installment of Guitar Hero, I was, at the same time, excited and puzzled. I do not own any new major console, so the only times I’ve played Guitar was at family/friend’s houses. With that being said, I was looking forward to Guitar Hero On Tour for the DS.
To cut to the chase in order to discuss the pro’s and con’s of the game, I DO enjoy Guitar Hero On Tour. The game is fun, and the different levels do provide me with some sort of a challenge, despite the uniformity of the game. The levels may prove to be a challenge for even the most skilled GH player of the console versions, due to the downsizing of the “guitar” into a handheld form. This game is very enjoyable and very fun, a give or take a few flaws (which I will soon discuss), I am satisfied with the purchase.
Now onto the con’s: After a while, your wrist/hand will hurt! Of course the design of the game for the DS will not be perfect; how can a life-size guitar game be duplicated into a handheld system?!?! It was a nice try, but I do not recommend lenghty gaming sessions, even if you are on the verge of a level completion, which is my next gripe over GH On Tour. The box cover says there are “25″ monster tracks, which seems like a lot at first glance. It is NOT! The game is easy to complete if on easy/medium levels, so moving onto more difficult levels could prove to be tedious for some gamers. I am disappointed at how quickly the game passes by, especially considering the price of the game. The “short” aspect of GH devalues the game, IMO.
In addition to the design flaw and length, the music isn’t that great. Sure, they do feature some classic songs like “China Grove” and “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” but other selections were not to appealing. Mind you, I don’t dislike these artists, but I couldn’t grasp Los Lonely Boys, Smash Mouth, or Daughtry fitting into this game. Maybe it’s the songs, but some artists were less fun to play than others. However, they DO feature some decent contemporary selections, like Bloc Party’s “Helicopter” (my favorite song to play) and Blink 182’s “All The Small Things.”
Pro’s: This game, like I said before, IS pretty fun. Despite its flaws in design, length, and song selection, I do look forward to playing. I like how the DS’ features were fully utilized, including the touch screen and mic. The graphics are good, the sound is a bit fuzzy at times but pretty crisp. I also appreciate that the game included the Original DS “adapter.” I don’t have a Lite, so being able to play on my OG DS was a nice feeling. It may not be a very lengthy game, nor cleverly accomplished (the “Duel” mode isn’t much fun), but it is straightforward, easy to pick up & play. I expected the game to be more complicated, but instead it was much simpler than I anticipated.
For what it’s worth, I feel this game is worth the $[...] price tag ([...]). It’s a worthwhile investment in terms of DS games, despite its hefty cost. While the re-play value may be low, this is a game for all ages, one that any gamer, experienced or inexperienced, can play, and most probably, have a good time at that.
Wow
Thought it was going to suck. didn’t expect much of it at all, but its awsome!!!love it! tottally addicted to it now :] hopefully they will create some new games with different songs so that we can vary a little.
Small Hands 
Love the game….one thing though…..if your left handed like me the game is hard to hold and the buttons are so close together it would take midget hands to play it right.
Very uncomfortable.
