Nintendo Wii Guitar Hero World Tour - Guitar Kit
From Activision
Love it or hate it, Guitar Hero: World Tour is the prime musical odyssey for the Wii. Like the PS3 and 360 versions of Gh and Rock Band, this title on the Wii supports downloadable content. In addition, you're able to record your own songs and a freestyle mode enables the use of Mii's, and is easy for anyone to pick up and learn. Wii Points required in order to download most songs.Customer Reviews
The game itself is fun but the guitar controller is lacking in quality
I find the guitar hero brand of games very enjoyable. The game itself is very fun and has a huge selection of songs. The guitar controller has failed after 1 month. Maybe I got a lemon? The strum bar doesn't work anymore. I had other controllers that are 2 years old and still working fine. That is why I gave it only 1 star for this package. I give the game 4 stars but the controller is not made for the long haul.
Holy crow!
So, hubby and I waited outside of Target at o'dark o-clock in the morning on Black Friday to get this game on sale. We were planning on getting a Wii, but didn't have one yet. We got the game, then caved into temptation (we'll get our parents presents LATER haha) and found a Wii later on that day. We hooked the system up, and for the rest of the holiday weekend, while hubby was at work, I proceeded to play this game for 8-9 hours straight every day. I LOVE THIS GAME!
Granted, I have no way of rating this to other versions of GH, but I am very impressed with the quality of this game. The audio is crisp, clear, and true to the original songs, and the visuals are awesome (I kept missing notes when I'd glance up to watch my character).
My only gripe is that the Star Power button is hard to use on the guitar that's included in the kit...I almost always miss a note when I'm trying to activate it...I get SO teed when I get THIS close to 100% and mess up!
For a beginner, I would highly recommend this game!!
I have to admit, I was skeptical when purchasing this game for the Wii. After seeing demos in game stores on the Xbox, I doubted the Wii could deliver the same experience. The over all graphics of the game are ok. For Wii standards I think they are pretty good. The menus look sharp and clean, the actual band performances however look like something from a PS2 or Xbox. But because I am so focused on the notes I have little time to gawk at the band on stage. Plus I don't have an HD cable connecting the Wii to my TV, so I am guessing that may be a factor as well.
