When the house lights go down this fall, a new
generation of axe shredders, drummers and
fearless frontmen will be born with Activision’s
Guitar Hero® World Tour. The latest installment
in the best-selling music/rhythm video game
franchise, Guitar Hero World Tour transforms
music gaming by expanding Guitar Hero’s®
signature guitar gameplay into a cooperative
band experience that combines the most advanced
wireless instruments with new revolutionary
online and offline gameplay modes including
online Band Career and 8-player “Battle of the
Bands,” which allows two full bands to compete
head-to-head online for the first time ever. The
game features a slick newly redesigned guitar,
an authentic electronic drum kit and a
microphone, as well as an innovative Music
Studio music creator that lets players compose,
record, edit and share their own rock ‘n’ roll
anthems.
KEY FEATURES:
- State of the Art
Wireless Instruments
– In addition to a newly redesigned, more
responsive guitar controller which features
a touch-sensitive slide bar on the neck,
Guitar Hero World Tour will deliver the most
realistic drum experience ever in a video
game with an authentic drum kit. Featuring
three drum pads, two raised cymbals and a
bass kick pedal, the drum controller
combines larger and quieter,
velocity-sensitive drum heads with soft
rubber construction to deliver authentic
bounce back and is easy to set up, move,
break down and store.
* The Next Great Songwriter, is You
– Guitar Hero World Tour’s innovative new Music
Studio lets players express their musical
creativity by giving them access to a full
complement of tools to create digital music from
scratch utilizing the redesigned touch-sensitive
guitar controller and an authentic drum kit.
Virtuosos can then play their compositions
in-game and share the recordings with the entire
Guitar Hero community through GHTunes™ where
other gamers from around the world will be able
to download and play their original tracks.
Available to Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 gamers is
Line 6’s guitar tone technology, enabling them
to use amps, cabs and effects from the
world-renown Line 6 POD®.
- An Original Set
List that’s Truly “Everlong”
– Guitar Hero World Tour features the
largest, most diverse on-disc set list to
appear in a music-based video game.
Comprised entirely of memorable master
recordings from some of the greatest artists
of all-time including Van Halen, Linkin
Park, The Eagles, Sublime and many more,
Guitar Hero World Tour delivers over 85
tracks for countless hours of rocking. In
addition to the killer track list, the game
will feature rock icons such as Hayley
Williams of Paramore and Travis Barker of
+44 and blink-182 and a collection of many
other superstar musicians making their video
game debuts on the Guitar Hero stage.
- Don’t Stop Till
You Get Enough
– Starting with initial releases at launch,
gamers will be able to expand the “Everlong”
set list with frequent downloadable singles
and track packs – including for the first
time ever, in-game downloadable content on
Wii. Making the options endless, rock stars
will have a limitless supply of downloadable
content through GHTunes™ creating a set list
where the music never ends. In both the
quickplay and career game modes, gamers can
build their own playlists which allow them
to select and perform up to six tracks in a
single gig.
- Making the Band
– Guitar Hero World Tour features an all-new
cooperative band experience allowing gamers
to share in the most social and expressive
music revolution ever. Budding rock stars
can live out their rock ‘n’ roll fantasies
by playing either a single instrument or any
combination of instruments, in addition to
the full band experience. When rocking as
part of a band, up to four players can jam
together in quickplay or as they progress
through a career. Both band and
single-player careers feature non-linear
progression giving artists the option to
change difficulty and instruments with a
variety of different gigs available at any
time.
- Global Invasion
– Guitar Hero World Tour introduces
revolutionary new online game modes
including “Battle of the Bands” which allows
eight players to join online and challenge
each other band-to-band to establish global
supremacy. Virtual musicians in need of band
mates can take their careers online forming
worldwide ensembles so no rock star ever has
to play a gig solo.
- Fully
Customizable
– Featuring one of the most extensive
character creators ever, Guitar Hero World
Tour allows gamers to create a rock star
with style as unique as their own. Absolute
customization from the clothes to the facial
and body structure to the tattoos and
accessories, players are encouraged to
unleash their inner rock legend. The Rock
Star Creator doesn’t just allow players to
build the ultimate rock god; the in-depth
creators include the ability to customize
guitars, drums and microphones. Adding yet
another layer of personalization, gamers can
create custom logos for their instruments,
band or album covers.
