Guitar world tour review - 8.0 - thoughts?

Well.

Im very disappointted with the review GS has given the newest installment from activision. Here is why:

1. The game came out TWO weeks ago. isint that a little too long to wait, considering my local newspaper had the review in before, and thats only one person doing all the game reviewing.

2. When they claim to have spent a week and a half "reviewing" the game, how the hell do they manage to put out less than a full page of a review?'

3. They claimed it to be a rockband clone, i say hardly, the games are very different. even a fool knows that. Saying WT copied rockband is near saying rockband copied guitar hero! which they didnt! harmonix made GH 1 & 2!

4. The music studio is too "complicated", yeahhhh, no. Three hours of use one night and i have it mastered. And im someone thats never been around that kind of stuff, not even garageband or something. All it takes is patience and common sense.

5. And finally the instruments. I have had 0 problems with anything. with one exception.I didnt plug the hi-hat in completley the first time, which registered in a failure, one push and everything has been solid since. The touchstrip is a nice feature to show off or just try something different, after all, its not mandatory. the drums and bass guitar are wayyy more realistic, and alot more difficult. I like.

So, im not complaining about gamespot, i just think the review could be alot better, not just in the score, but in the presentation. oh and please be kind mods. NOW what are your thoughts about the game, and the review aswell?

GOW2 comes out in 3days actually friday Nov 7... and actually i dont not if its all over the country but here they are releasing it thrusday at midnight. Anyway not the point, just dont want anyone to miss their chance to grab.

Yea i cant believe the review was so delayed. I havent yet played it but from what i heard, way different than rock band.

Im very excited to play this, funny when i finished legends of rock (unlocked all levels and bonus songs) my brother and i thought.... BYOB by system of a down should really be on here, as well as sum sort of tool song. Low and behold GH world tour has BYOB and not one but THREE tool songs. awesome i cant wait to get this its definitly on my birthday/xmas list

The reviews aren't lying ... GH4:WT just isn't as good of a game as Rock Band 2.

Honestly, GH4:WT just isn't as good of a game as the original Rock Band. They failed at at even making a Rock Band clone.

Well.

I don't understand your #3. Why is GH:WT not an obvious Rock Band clone? It sure seems too similar to be a coincidence to me.

Yeah, the game really isn't much fun at all. They have all the pieces needed to make a band game, but it doesn't really work. There's just something missing - the whole experience is very sterile and you're always aware you're playing a videogame.

Also, it doesn't really affect the rest of the game, but the main menu looks like it should be part of a budget XBLA title.

And the intro is nothing short of terrible.

How would you guys rate World Tour as just another GH extension? By that, I just mean as the same old Guitar Hero with just the Guitar controller and playing through the song list, and forget all the other instruments and features.

Or maybe the easier way to ask the question is, since I liked Guitar Hero III, would I still enjoy this?

In this instance, you would probably like it. If you just played guitar, it would be hard to notice differences.

It "feels" exactly the same as prior GH games... Beat some songs, move to the next venue, rinse, repeat.This is the weakest aspect of the game, in my opinion. Rock band has you hiring roadies, winning buses, traveling the world, etc. Guitar hero just has some posters on a wall.

I must say, the hardware is far better than RB, though. The guitar is well made, and sharp looking, and the drums are much more like my real kit.

In the end, I'm glad I bought it because I'm going to use the MIDI input on the drumset to attach to my VDrums, but I would recommend Rock Band 2 for a more fun, party-inducing experience

Odd considering that almost every one else is in agreement that Rock Band's premium drums are the best ever made for a music based game.
