Guitar Hero: On Tour

About

Toss the console and plug into a portable rock session with Guitar Hero: On Tour. The Nintendo DS turns into your stage as you pluck notes with a dedicated Guitar Grip peripheral. Tap colored markers on the screen using four fret buttons while swiping the touchpad for strumming. The DS’s built-in Wi-Fi lets you battle friends or share song libraries across different game versions. Single-player modes offer solo performances or practice sessions with over 25 licensed tracks. The Guitar Grip’s design fits snugly into the DS’s GBA slot, letting you wear the unit like a real instrument. While the 2008 release brought rock anthems spanning classic and modern hits, the portable format made it easy to riff anytime. Early reviews noted the Grip’s awkward angle for some players but praised the adaptability of porting the Guitar Hero formula to handheld. With three sequels later expanding the library, this entry remains a pocket-sized staple for fans of the series.
