“Possibly the best of the lot”

By twenteen (nowgamer.com) Read the full review

Great to play with friends and if you are more of an intense guitar-heroer then the online feature really helps in allowing you to flex your guitar hero skills against other skilled players. A great pick up and play game

Online Ghost Town

By NeilSBUK (sofacinema.co.uk) Read the full review

If you are hoping to play this online, then it is possible, but expect to have long waits, or to play without a full band set up. I had to play guitar and sing just to get a full band going. Gameplay is pretty much standard in guitar hero games so if...

By far the worse GH

By Dave (sofacinema.co.uk) Read the full review

I have played all the GH and Rockband, and this one is by far the worse. Looks like they have just take the leftover songs and put it in a game to get some easy money. Can't believe that from some of the very good bands they have included, they have...

Guitar Hero: World Tour (PS3) review

By Gavin Mackenzie (nowgamer.com)

Award: Multiplayer Award

Standing strong forever, nothing's gonna stop it now

Anything Rock Band can do, World Tour can do better. That said, the gap is only small and, unless you’re particularly fussed by Music Studio mode, your preference should ultimately be determined by your music tastes

Guitar Hero World Tour

By Aaron Thomas (gamespot.co.uk)

That's one giant leap for a franchise; one small step for a genre.

Great setlist with more than 80 songs ; You can now sing and play bass, guitar, drums ; Lets you create, share, and download original music ; Mii Freestyle mode is kind of fun

Some new additions don't enhance experience ; Doesn't do much that other, similar games haven't done ; Requires four instruments and four Wii Remotes for a full band

Guitar Hero World Tour

By Neon Kelly (videogamer.com)

Guitar Hero World Tour for PS3 Review - If this game rocked any harder, it would choke to death on its own vomit at the age of 27.

Huge fun, and more accessible than ever before

The complete setup will cost you

Guitar Hero: World Tour (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2) review

By Sean Bell & Ian Dickson (darkzero.co.uk)

Approaching Guitar Hero yet again brings about a multitude of feelings - once a revolutionary step for rhythm action games, now a fully-fledged gaming institution with new instalments arriving often more than once a year, it's difficult not to see it...

However, finally coming into contact with World Tour, the latest in the series, has given us ample reason to breathe a sigh of relief.

Guitar Hero: World Tour

By evilgiraffeman (gameon.co.uk)

The Guitar Hero series has managed to raise the profile of gaming since its humble beginnings, being easy to play, accessible and most importantly: fun. What could easily have been another gimmicky novelty-controller based game managed to tap into...

Same enjoyable gameplay ; Slider function a good addition ; More accessible

Incomplete game experience in "Guitar Package ; Varying quality in set list ; Reduced difficulty makes game easy for veterans

There are three main versions of World Tour available for the consoles: the solo game, a guitar package and a complete band edition. In this review I shall focus on the game itself and the guitar package in particular.

Guitar Hero: World Tour

By Rich T (gamebosh.com)

Three years ago, the original Guitar Hero was launched on a somewhat unsuspecting US public, with a European release following around 5 months later. Until that point, most rhythm action games (with the exception of the Dance Dance Revolution/Dancing...

Massive track-listing, the biggest yet ; Still great fun in multiplayer mode ; The only place to play Dig Out Your Soul (via DLC)

Too many long/overly difficult songs ; Drums are under-sensitive, leading to noisy gaming sessions ; Some tracks are a tad obscure

Ultimately, despite having some incredibly fun moments, especially in multiplayer mode, World Tour doesn't quite seem to have that same spark of excitement that came with first playing Rock Band, or even with older games in the GH series. Don't get me...

With Rock Band 2 hitting 360 this week, and boasting a number of the same songs as World Tour, Activision will need to have some decent aces up their sleeves in the download department to keep their audience satisfied.
