You can check out the entertaining announcement trailer here.

For the first time, handheld gamers will have the freedom to unleash their inner rock star anywhere, anytime with Activision, Inc.'s upcoming Guitar Hero: On Tour for Nintendo DS. The game will deliver a unique Guitar Hero experience by challenging handheld gamers to rock out and prove their shredding skills on the most diverse set list of master tracks ever offered in a Guitar Hero game, including ****c rock, alternative and pop favorites such as Nirvana, OK Go and No Doubt.

The game will be packaged with a revolutionary Guitar Hero Guitar Grip peripheral that fits snugly into the DS and a unique Guitar Hero pick-stylus that brings a new dimension to handheld gaming and the core gameplay that defines Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero: On Tour has been designed specifically for the DS platform and will offer the DS audience an all-new compelling music experience.

We are continuing to introduce new and exciting ways to bring music to audiences with Guitar Hero," said Dusty Welch, head of publishing for Activision/RedOctane. "The Guitar Hero Guitar Grip redefines how games can be played on handheld systems and the integration of the microphone and touch screen gameplay on the DS, further illustrates Guitar Hero's leadership in delivering the most unique and creative quality hardware and software on the market."

"We're designing Guitar Hero: On Tour from the ground up to take full advantage of the DS platform by integrating signature gameplay with fresh new content and DS specific features," said Karthik Bala, CEO of Vicarious Visions. "We've taken all of our learnings on the DS platform to date and pushed it to the limits to create a truly innovative Guitar Hero experience."

Guitar Hero: On Tour continues to build on the franchise's signature easy-to-play, yet difficult to master addictive gameplay, and now lets players take their experience on the road wherever they go. Players use the Guitar Hero pick-stylus on the touch screen to strum their favorite tunes and create their rock 'n' roll legacy in career mode.

Fans can also join together to play co-op mode using a local wireless network, or battle each other in a Guitar Duel using new Battle Items unique to the DS platform. For example, players must blow into the microphone to extinguish a pyrotechnics effects gone wrong, or use the touch screen to autograph a crazed fan's shirt in the middle of their set.

Featuring five unlockable new venues, the game lets players personalize their experience by choosing the color of their axe of choice, selecting to play as one of six characters - two of which are all new and exclusive to Guitar Hero: On Tour - and outfitting their guitarist in numerous ****.

Guitar Hero: On Tour is being developed by Vicarious Visions for the Nintendo DS. The game is rated "E 10+" (Everyone 10 and older) by the ESRB and is scheduled for release this summer. For more information, visit www.guitarheroontour.com.

No offense, but why not look before you post a topic. There's one at the top of page two called "guitar hero on tour announced". Sound familier?rgsniper1

Well that's an easy one. I'm not going to search the entire forum before every post, it's just not practical and the search feature is horrible.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious and never having posted something that was posted before.

By the way, there are several new posts that ask people, "what's your favorite DS color". You should inform all those people that question has already been asked and answered several times.

First, If there's multiple topics on the first couple pages that are the same I usually do point it out just like I did for your thread.

Second, it was the second thread down on the second page for crying out loud. It's not like it was buried on page 10002. I don't think it's to unreasonable for a person to at least check the first couple pages. But I see that seems to much for you?

Third, I never have made a duplicate topic to one that is relitively new because I check at least the first 5 pages whenever I create one. Sorry to dissapoint, but I'm not that lazy.

Sorry to rain on your parade but it was just a lazy topic to make by you. I'll even go out on a limb and say the topic you duplicated was probably on the very first page when you made yours and you never even bothered to look at all.

Don't get so offended when someone points out a post like this, I didn't do anything wrong but point out that you should have at least looked before you posted.

Seriously dude grow up. You made a lazy post and I pointed it out. Now you want to get into a war of words like a 5 year old would.

Hold on let me go get my son and we'll think of something childish to respond with.

Never mind my son thinks it's stupid as well.

I feel sorry for you that you are sore because I pointed out "you" did something lazy and now you're trying to turn it back on me because I didn't. It's not that big a deal until you insist on making it a big deal. Remember all I said originally was that you should look before you post, that's it. Nothing more nothing less.

And thank you for thanking me for making the world a better place, I try. I wish I could thank you for making the forums a better place but your inability to look before you post and therefor make mutiple of the same threads doesn't help (nor your ability to accept you're wrong even though you know this). Hey look I made a snide remark just like you, it's almost like i'm back in 1st grade ready to battle.

Thanks again for such an articulate post. I really admire your passion. Have a great day filled with lots of :)k1DBLITZ

While I know you don't mean it, I'll just smile and say thank you. You too have a great day posting here on the boards. And hey, while you're here take a look around before you make a new topic. I know it's an inconvience to have to look, but why not just give a quick peek at the first couple pages at least. It will save everyone from having to sift through multiple of the same topic, of which we all appreciate.

Aries - I agree this thread needs to be closed as we already have more than one other on this same thing.

I wont be posting again as it's become a waste of time debating with what I suspect is someone who just really doesn't care at all, so why bother.
