    Guitar Hero used to be a pitch perfect game. Neversoft has not been able to replicate the level of critical success as Harmonix has, however, and World Tour is another disappointment.

    Guitar Hero: World Tour is Activision’s answer to Rock Band, and while adding drums, bass, and vocals was necessary to keep up with the Joneses, a whole host of new problems are introduced with their inclusion.

    Great game. Fun to play alone, even better with a group. The song list is better than III in my opinion, and the game works the same as Great game. Fun to play alone, even better with a group.
