Guitar Hero DS commercial released

chautemoc | March 20, 2008 | Previews | DS 


I think this one speaks for itself. Guitar Hero: On Tour will be out this summer. It is set to use a keyboard type thing that plugs into the DS and is used for the buttons instead of the standard guitar.
What’s dorkier than playing around with a fake, plastic guitar? How about playing with a portable, stripped down version of a fake, plastic guitar? Activision has revealed their upcoming attempt at a portable version of their successful Guitar Hero franchise with “Guitar Hero On Tour,” due out this summer. This time, instead of holding a full guitar, you’ll attach a peripheral to the back of your DS. Then you’ll push the buttons in sync as usual, but this time you’ll strum using the stylus and touch screen. Call me crazy, but that seems to ruin the whole idea of pretending to be rock star when you’re essentially holding a DS with a safety strap. This looks less geeky than that Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker that showed up at this past CES, but still way more geeky than the original Guitar Hero. Tune in next week when Activision reveals their umpteenth spin-off, furthering their efforts to run the franchise into the ground as quickly as possible.

    I'm glad they actually showed off the game and the peripheral that comes along with it. Should look cool to some people out there.

    Probably yeah, it could be fun, but I don't see myself playing it heaps. Whatever you do don't dance around like the guys in the video if you get it

    Eh, doesn't look to good. Maybe I'll get it, play it some, get bored, play again, like the original Guitrar Heroes. They were fun, but got boring fast. This seems like a fail. But can't judge a book by it's cover.

    I guess it could be fun but the people in the video were...weird.
    Oh well, I probably won't get it anyways.
