IGN reviews Guitar Hero: On Tour

Tyranitar24 | June 22, 2008 | Video | DS 
IGN reviewed Guitar Hero: On Tour and they thought it was very impressive, giving it a 9.0! They really had nothing bad to say about the game, their only concern was cramping up if you're playing the game for a long period of time. Check out the video interview below and hit the link for the full article review of the game.

I’m not going to defend Guitar Hero: On Tour as a stand-alone: if you want the absolute Guitar Hero experience you really should grab the real deal for whatever console you may have. It’s a lot cooler and more social to jam out with full-sized guitars. But even though Guitar Hero: On Tour might not feel like playing guitar, it definitely feels like playing Guitar Hero: it’s an excellent portable representation of the full experience, and it’s incredibly hard to think of any way to do it better than how Vicarious Visions did it. The gameplay is spot on, and the peripheral’s great construction enhances the experience. What could have easily been a cheap, licensed rhythm game cop-out on the Nintendo DS is actually a serious project that works extremely well on the handheld.

    Well we knew we could get quality audio after Elite Beat Agents. My only concern was the awkwardness of holding it like that...

    I thought that the game wouldn't be as good as the other ones. This game looks awesome now.

    This is a great game, but like was said in the reviews my wrist gets tired of holding it like that.....I only last a few songs before I have to put it down for a bit.

    It's hard to hold, but it's a good game still. I enjoy watching people play it.
