For Sony PS3, PS2; Nintendo Wii; Microsoft Xbox 360
The latest installment from the #1 best-selling video game franchise of 2007, Guitar Hero World Tour will transform music gaming by
marrying Guitar Hero's exhilarating guitar gameplay, with a cooperative band experience that combines the most advanced wireless instruments
with revolutionary new online and offline gameplay modes. The game will feature a slick newly redesigned guitar, a genuine 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 and roll anthems, along with online Band Career and 8-player "Battle of the Bands."
Delivering the largest on-disc set list in a music-rhythm game to date, Guitar Hero World Tour is comprised entirely of master recordings from some of
the greatest classic and modern rock bands of all-time including Van Halen, Linkin Park, The Eagles, Sublime and many more. Additionally, the game will
offer significantly more localized downloadable music than ever before on all of the next-generation consoles. Budding rock stars will also be given
creative license to fully customize everything from their characters' appearance and instruments to their band's logo and album covers.
In addition to a newly designed more responsive guitar controller and microphone, Guitar Hero World Tour will deliver the most realistic drum experience
ever in a video game with an authentic electronic 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.
