Guitar Hero: On Tour with Grips (NDS) (Nintendo DS)

Product Information

To be able to purchase content for Wii U or Nintendo 3DS family systems, your funds usable through the Nintendo Account must be merged with the funds tied to your Nintendo Network ID. In addition, the team wanted to expand the "Guitar Duel" mode to include several DS-specific mini-games that could not be recreated on other consoles, but found themselves running out of time.

And if you shift a little too much during play -- mostly to readjust your grip or to hand off the system to someone else -- the peripheral might come loose in the slot causing the game to halt in the same fashion as unplugging the guitar controller from the console. In Guitar Duel, one player can acquire and use power-ups to create a temporary distraction for the other player by successfully completing certain sections of the song. So remember: find a comfortable way to hold the DS and grip before playing and rock the hell out of it. Decades's setlist is considered "a trek through time" by IGN, featuring sets of five songs out of a total of twenty-eight tracks. Song in the game are presented as a series of tiers of increasing difficulty, requiring the player to complete the songs in each tier before the next tier is unlocked.Twenty songs from the North American setlist were exclusive to this version of Guitar Hero upon release while the remaining six songs have been used throughout the series. For the first time, handheld gamers will have the freedom to unleash their inner rock star anywhere, anytime with Activision, Inc. Reviewers found the set list to be both short and somewhat skewed towards recent music, [29] and some commented that the sound quality of the tracks was poor. However, the primary concern of reviewers was the Guitar Grip, as it was both difficult to hold and caused hand cramps in some players.

Players use the Guitar Hero pick-stylus on the touch screen to strum their favorite tunes and create their rock 'n' roll legacy in career mode. Like the previous game in the series, On Tour: Decades, the set list is different for the North American, [20] UK, [21] and European releases [22] with twelve exclusive tracks in each of the respective versions (the European release has eight exclusive tracks that are the same as the UK version and four other tracks from Europe). For the first time, the same epic music, gameplay and graphics players have come to expect in the console version have combined into one handheld package, creating the most ground-breaking gaming experience to date. The result is a Nintendo DS version of the series that truly feels like it's a part of the Guitar Hero license and not a cheap cash-in.Or, you can enter the fun and frantic Guitar Duel option to compete against that other player…complete with over-the-top power-ups that are made to screw up the competitor. Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades was announced on July 15, 2008, at the 2008 E3 conference, [19] and released on November 16, 2008. By the time you hit “Can’t Stop,” the requisite Red Hot Chili Peppers song, you’ll start wondering if Decades is worthwhile. Available across Europe on 18th July, the bundle provides a cool combo package for grads about to head off to college as well as summertime, road-tripping rockers of all ages. Decades received better reviews than On Tour, with reviewers noting that the game, released only a short time after the original On Tour, felt more like an expansion pack than a new title.
