Guitar Rock Tour |
|
With Guitar Rock Tour you can perform the guitar and drum tracks of the most popular worldwide hits on your NintendoDS and live the most explosive musical experience on the DS! Targeted for all audiences, Guitar Rock Tour features solo and multiplayer modes where beginners can have loads of fun right from the start and fans of music games can discover plenty of nuances. Without any musical knowledge, learn how to quickly master the basic controls of each instrument by using the Nintendo DS’s Touch Screen or buttons and kick off your career as a rock star. Keep your cool in front of a hyped-up crowd and follow the beat so the guitar (or the drums, depending on your choice of instruments) is synchronized with the other instruments in the band and you’ll get the rush of playing like a rock god.

Guitar Rock Tour is a great effort. It's a Guitar Hero beater (just about) but with more songs it would have been pretty special.

If you don't care about the quality of the covers, then you'll get more out of the game, but even the most serious of audiophiles will find some fun rocking their way to headliner status.

It is not that this game is bad, it is just a little harder to justify a purchase when Guitar Hero does so much more.

Save your wrists and steer clear of this in favour of "Guitar Hero." [Jan 2009, p.65]

The game is a shadow of its more popular cousins. If you have an itch to rock out on your DS, then I think you know which way to go.

While the note-plucking, drum-whacking mechanics of the game are fine, there just aren't enough songs to sustain interest.

There’s also a two-player co-op wireless mode, though the fact that both players need the game make it seem unlikely you’ll use it much. Overall, this isn’t a bad game, but it really does feel like the other half is out there somewhere waiting to be found. If it were $15 or $20, we’d say give it a shot. But at press time, it’s $30, only ten dollars cheaper than the latest Guitar Hero game on DS.

Guitar Rock Tour is a wannabe Guitar Hero. In a time when music simulation games are going all out with original songs, bonus features and other goodies, Gameloft's bottom of the barrel effort fails to thrill.
