But star is "not very good" at game.

Sting is the latest in a long line of rock-stars to be playable in Guitar Hero World Tour.

That's according to The Sun, to whom the former Police frontman admitted: "I tried to play Guitar Hero and I'm not very good. My kids can do it."

His nod of approval follows deals to replicate Jimi Hendrix, Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde and Billy Corgan in the Q4-bound game.

Those lucrative signings also tend to grant access to elusive songs for inclusion in the game, such as the live performance of "Purple Haze" by Hendrix.

(To Message in a Bottle Chorus)

I'll take my Ring of Death back to GAME,
I'll take my Ring of Death back to GAME,
I hope I get a new one,
I hope I get a new one,
I hope I get a new one - maybe an Elite?

For PS3 owners , substitute Ring of Death with Three Loud Beeps, and for Wii owners Duff Disk Drive. Yes, I know it's awful.

GHWT just look better and better.
If they don't shaft the EU ala Rock Band it'll do very very well... and I'll be getting it.
Crap 149.99 from Play - with a wired bass controller I don't want. Bugger.

Im not sure ive got enough space for plastic intruments in the house but i agree this game is looking very good.
Especially the track creater (if they can put tunes up online that peeps create then this could be outstanding)

I have ordered from play, I may not want the extra guitar but it still beats paying more in the shop without the guitar, I also had a 5% off voucher and use quidco (look it up) to get soem cash back, maybe I am just being uber cheap.

Sting doesnt seem like a guy who knows how to "rock out", and he is hardly a guitar hero. Whats next? Phill Collins Guitar Hero? Lil Wayne Guitar Hero?

Don't stand so
Don't stand so
Don't stand so close to my xbox

Edit: Fuck. Someone already did it.

In any case, The Police are awesome.

Am I alone in not actually watching the characters when I play, and watch the note chart instead?
