"The Guitar Hero series is wildly successful, and with good reason, it is tons of fun and it is got some great music to go with it. Today I have got Guitar Hero World Tour for review, it is the latest edition to the series of games from Activision and Red Octane. My initial impressions of GH-WT were those of excitement, and immense enjoyment, I even went and got Metallica Death Magnetic from the GH store, but those initial reactions soon turned to those of frustration and anger, after only abo..."

"Why a lower score than GH3? Well, the game no longer feels fresh, even with the new instruments. And there are so many different types of music that you won't be as engaged by the setlist.

"with Guitar Hero: World Tour outright stealing and swallowing a page right out of Harmonix’s playbook, it’s hard not to make the comparison. But compare, I must, and Guitar Hero: World Tour is everything that Rock Band isn’t—authentic feeling, musically diverse, and, most importantly, fun after hours of play, something Rock Band fails to accomplish with its flimsy feeling instruments and repetive track listing."
