There’s little in the way of gameplay, with a focus on dramatic “Guitar Grip” strapping-on and goofy rockin’ out, but if you need a better visual demonstration of how Guitar Hero: On Tour for the Nintendo DS works, this will be right up your alley. It’s cute, but certainly not something I see myself paying actual money for. But if Harmonix can make a dual-guitar and drum set attachment work for Rock Band DS, that I might buy.
IGN has the scoop on the controller for the eagerly anticipated DS version of Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero: On Tour will come with a Guitar Grip that plugs into the GBA slot of your DS and allows players to fret along with a song while strumming digital strings on the screen. The Guitar Grip includes a hand strap and a little storage compartment for the specially designed stylus pick.
Was there ever any doubt Guitar Hero: On Tour was a DS version of the game? There was? Shouldn’t be now: Australia’s Office of Film & Literature Classification have just rated the game, and in the process blown its platform cover. It clearly says Guitar Hero: On Tour on the OFLC’s site, and it clearly says Nintendo DS, with the game earning itself a G rating earlier this week.
