World tour is a little outdated, but it’s still a great game !
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The guitar hero was good until had to try and synch the drums. I cannot get drums to synch. Searched on internet and appears this is common theme. I would not recommend purchasing the guitar hero with drums in set.

I decided to buy this game because LOVED Guitar Hero 3 and wanted to play a new version that had different songs. This one definitely brings different songs. It features popular and not so well known songs from all over the world! (Hence the name,I guess.) Anyway, this game is pretty fun, just like the other versions before it, but there are some things I don;t like about this game actually.First off,the buttons on the screen appear smaller than the previous versions have had. Didn't like this so much. Second,there aren't that many battles and the ones that are on here are different than the more fun ones on the older games. Third,they didn't put enough well-known songs on here. Was kind of disappointed by that fact.Also, the levels are harder than previous games.If you play on Easy mode,for instance, then near the end of the level play, you go from actually being able to play the songs from pretty easy to difficult.I played every song well, until it introduced Metallica and Sweet Home Alabama. Those songs are kind of tough...and take easy mode from Easy to almost Medium standards without warning or any leading up to it. Okay..now..on to things I like about this game. It is still the fun guitar playing game. There are more characters to pick from and getting to see Ozzy on here makes buying this game TOTALLY worth it. Plus,the story mode is EXTRA long!Once you are done with the first career story,then Lou the Devil enters the scene again and you start a new story with new stadiums to play at and more songs to play!Awesomeness! Plus, you can get codes from CheatCC.com for free that allow you to make the vocalists breathe fire, as well as codes to unlock rare characters and other cool stuff! Even better is that you can make your own band logo and name and it will appear in the game!So cool! Overall,I am glad I bought this game.It may not be as great as Guitar Hero 3, but it takes longer to play, has better graphics and more special vocal guests, hs more characters, and there is more to do in this game.I recommend it to any fan of the game.This is a MUST buy to all Guitar Hero freaks out there!Read full review
I was brought into the band game phenomenon with Rock Band 2. I and my family have enjoyed it very much, so when I saw a chance to pick up a spare guitar and Guitar Hero World Tour for 20 dollars on eBay, I jumped at the chance. The game: The game itself has much more readily recognizable tracks then RB2. The graphics also seem to be superior than the competition. For me, that is where the pluses stop. The game is fun to play, but the controls seem to be much tighter and much more unforgiving than RB2, even after using the calibrate feature, which is a must out of the box if you play on a large screen LCD or Plasma. The presentation and whole "band" experience is something that was just slapped into the game play, and their is no real sense of achievement like there is in RB2. Also, the team that worked on the "tabbing" (the colored tabs that scroll on the screen for each song) seemed to think that OVER tabbing was the only solution to making the difficulty levels for the songs, instead of combining more tabbing and multiple finger placement. The guitar: Compared to the RB2 guitar, the GH:WT guitar feels like a beast. It's heavier and thicker all around, including the neck, and that makes the buttons that much more awkward to play if you started out on Rock Band guitar. The neck buttons just increase the difficulty of being able to play some of the faster songs. The RB people got it right by making the WHOLE fret bar a button on their guitar, instead of just centering a smaller button like the GH guitar has. Overall: Better songs and graphics. Game experience and controller is far less superior then the RB2 game and controller. I would recommend getting the game just to experience playing some of the songs available in the library, but if you are looking to add a second guitar to your RB2 set, I would find another RB2 guitar and then just buy the game separate from any of the instruments offered in the GH line.Read full review
I decided to by it because I'm a huge fan of the series, and thought it would be great to play as a band, not just a guitarist. It works well with the Rock Band 2 Drum kit and mic, but the guitar for Rock Band 2 doesn't allow for the solo neck slider bar. You must have the GH: World Tour Drum kit to use the training tutorials and the calibration is off a little too. The songs rock as always, and the other features are a nice addition, but there is a lot to be desired for the hardware (Band Kit & Guitar). But I still give it two sticks up!!!
