Guitar Hero World Tour: Guitar Controller Gimmick and Gameplay Revealed!

by Paul

This last week was a big one for Guitar Hero Word Tour news. In addtiton to the news that the game will be getting songs from rock legends like Van Halen and the Doors, the guitar controller was finally revealed along with it’s gimick. There’s a slider on it that will give you more freedom to tap out notes during solos, kind of like the way you can tap out notes on the Rock Band guitar but with added sliding. There’s also a new bridge button and a accelerometer. While it’s not the world’s prettiest pretend guitar controller, it looks a lot hell of a lot cooler than that ugly ass Les Paul. Oh yeah, I did go there.

The lucky devils over at Kotaku also got to play the thing and they’ve got all kinds of impressions from the regular play modes to info on the create your own song thing. I can tell you as a Rock Band owner I’m starting to get awful jealous of World Tour, since there’s no way I can buy and store another set of fake instruments. Here’s to hoping someone will make a drum kit that’s compatible with all the cool upcoming music games, because I really want to be able to play both Rock band and Guitar Hero without shelling out a fortune on stupid toy instruments. Sweet donkey balls, I need to rock out to Van Halen if they aren’t going to be on Rock Band.
