Guitar Hero On Tour review for Nintendo DS

Guitar Hero On Tour is the DS iteration of the console conquering Guitar Hero series. While it clearly can't pack all the features of the full console game onto the DS, the developers have taken the time to try and innovate as much as possible on the title, making use, for instance, of the much underused expansion slot on the DS to ship a special controller with the game. It makes strumming along to the songs more exciting and fun, and you can read how well we think they captured the success of the console version on the DS in our full review of Guitar Hero on Tour in this month's free magazine.Click here to read the Guitar Hero On Tour review for Nintendo DS now! Guitar Hero On Tour review for Nintendo DS
We think it's fair to say that the collective eyebrow was raised among the gaming community when Activision announced that they were bravely planning to bring Guitar Hero to the DS. Surely a game that relies so heavily on the guitar-shaped peripheral for its success couldn't possibly succeed on a console that's not much larger that a packet of butter? Well, the good news is that Activision (with the enormous help of the developer Vicarious Visions) have managed the seemingly impossible, but it's also fair to say that there are a few reservations, too. Getting the gripes out of the way first, as you'd expect, Guitar Hero: On Tour just doesn't feel the same without at least the pretence of a guitar in your hand. It's one thing to have what looks like a Fisher Price guitar slung around your neck, quite another to have your hand strapped to a portable console with a quirky peripheral functioning as the fret buttons.
