Guitar Hero DS tracks revealed
Maroon 5, Blink 182, Bloc Party, more.
Activision has listed 15 of the 25 tracks that will feature in Guitar Hero: On Tour for DS.
Speaking to US magazine Nintendo Power, the publisher confirmed that relatively contemporary hits from both Maroon 5 and Blink 182 will be included alongside songs from Twisted Sister, KISS, and Jet from Gladiators.
Guitar Hero: On Tour works by clipping a "Guitar Grip" into the GBA slot on your DS so the four coloured fret buttons rest on the bottom of your handheld.
You then turn the DS sideways like a book and use a provided plastic pick to strum the touch-screen guitar and rock your socks off.
There will be the usual career mode with six characters to choose from, as well as wireless competitive and co-operative modes.
You can see two amazingly annoying people demonstrate how it works over on Eurogamer TV.
Guitar Hero: On Tour is due out on DS later this summer.
The track list so far:
- "Do What You Want" - OK Go
- "All The Small Things" - Blink 182
- "Spiderwebs" - No Doubt
- "Are You Gona Be My Girl" - Jet
- "We're Not Gonna Take It" - Twisted Sister
- "All Star" - Smash Mouth
- "Breed" - Nirvana
- "Jessie's Girl" - Rick Springfield
- "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" - Pat Benatar
- "This Love" - Maroon 5
- "Heaven" - Los Lonely Boys
- "Helicopter" - Bloc Party
- "China Grove" - The Doobie Brothers
- "Rock and Roll All Nite" - KISS (cover by Line 6)
- "What I Want" - Daughtry

And why oh why is that Pat Benatar song featured again - it's one of those I can't even let the cursor stop on in GH3 in case I hear some of it.
Four buttons I can deal with, but the other 10 songs better be good.

Could be that they've taken the line of thinking that they can get a higher market penetration if they focus on the widespread demographic who own a DS versus the 'smaller' market of guitar (hero) enthusiasts who also own a DS. In other words, this is a cash cow and not one for the fans.
If it was for the fans (of guitars or guitar hero), then the tracklist should've been a collection of the most classic tracks from the Guitar Hero catalogue.

Well... Five of them, which unfortunately is about the same number i liked in GH3. Rock Band's got the best tracklist at the moment, but it costs like, more than my education.
