Guitar Hero: On Tour Comments by Tom Bramwell

Got this on-preorder for the girlfriend, not gonna cancell as im sure she will still love it :)

Enjoy your DS-shaped handjobs.

Well I never expected this game to be any good anyway, so half marks makes sense.

Got GH Aerosmith last night as a pressie...they are milking the proverbial cow these fekkers aren't they?

@ Krelle -

She has two hands ;)

looks like poo TBH

There is only one DS music game out this month

Shame. I was hoping this would be better...

Got this on import last week. enjoying it a lot. it not proper GH but still a lot of fun. never had any problem with pain from it nor has the GF

Sorry forgot about the marron 5 song and that fucking cat one they make your ears bleed.

looks terrible

"by blowing or shouting into the microphone"

Instant pass for me, really loathe that mechanic

but we could have done without Blink-182's "All The Small Things" and with a bit more along the lines of "Pride And Joy" by Stevie Ray Vaughan, "Black Magic Woman" by Santana and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Pat Benatar.

You must die.

erm.... wouldn't a drum-based game have made a lot more sense? A la the drums in rock band?

Drum 'pads' on the touch screen, in the right places, and the notes streaming on the top screen? Using 2 chunky stylii for drum sticks?

I'm surprised it scored this high.

300k units in its first week lets say the review is the hardcore approach but for the casual gamer this will tick all the right boxes!

The DS doesn't support multi-touch so you could only hit one thing at a time - Great if you're the drummer from Def Leppard.

They'd have to make an add-on for the DS similar to this:

Rev. Stuart. Campbell: Are you serious? You like Blink 182 better than Stevie Ray? You must be a frat boy....

I am in New Zealand at the moment, and have bought this game, and I have to say I am loving it. No Pain at all, just need to hold it right. Ok it is not as good as guitar hero on my 360 or Rock band, but stick on some headphones and it is not too bad.
I did buy this as a spear of the moment thing, and would not have bought it if I had read this review, but I glad I did.

Well worth the £30 I paid for it, and it will help kill some hours on my flight back from NZ

Just curious, but I take it that peripheral doesn't fit into the old DS ?

c-c-could i... look as cool as those... people in the adverts? If i break it out in a park, people will... crowd around me in joyous applause? That is hope beyond.. dreams...

only in America...

@Dreaddnaught: there is an adapter for the old nds.

The game is underrated on Eurogamer. For me as someone who never played the other versions, I find it really enjoyable. A new fresh idea for NDS which instantly conquered my wife and well made me regret I only bought one (from US, 'cause it's cheaper). There are games that lack the polish that this one has on NDS that have received more on 5 on eurogamer. I suggest a re-review - how can Halo be better than this??? ;)

@Rirekon
You can stick the Mic down and just tap the Star Power meter instead. No way around blowing the guitar fire out though.

Is it just me, or are some Eurogamer reviewers just cack handed? Complaining about the controls on this despite them being great (I've 100% a lot more than any of the console versions), and in recent times called Resi 4 Wiis controls clumsy, regardless of the majority finding them better. Yes I'll bring up that travesty whenever possible :P

These are only 2 examples, but I hate people blaming controls ever. Especially when the review says "a single back-and-forth motion with constant screen contact doesn't work" - it works fine for me. I have to wonder if some of these issues were adressed before it's release here? Hold the DS properly and there's no "jiggle", adjust the Mic sensitivity and never worry about accidental Star Power again. And the sound quality is fine for me.
