Guitar Hero World Tour Review for Newbies & Oldies
The new Guitar Hero World Tour (AKA GH4) Band Kit for Wii lives up to the expectations of Guitar Hero and Rock Band fans. The song list weighs in at a massive 86 and unlike previous versions of GH, the songs all appear to have been created from original recordings. The sound quality is borderline poor, especially compared to previous versions of the game. Drum beats can be difficult if not impossible to hear, and bass lines have little punch or feel to them. On the plus side, there is a great mix of songs that most anyone will find one they would like to play, it's not as hip as the GH3 collection but there's something for everyone.
Newcomers to the drumming part of the game will find a whole new world to explore with the drum kit, it has the equivalent of a snare, two tom drums, a high-hat, a cymbal, and a bass drum pedal. Basically it's the same as a 4-piece drum kit minus the hi-hat pedal. There is a vicious debate on how realistic the game's drum kit is to playing on a real kit. There is no one answer that works for everyone, but generally speaking it's about the same as the difference between shooting a real gun and shooting a video game gun. Of course they are two worlds apart, but basically you're doing the same thing.
The guitar is the slightly different than older models, there's a new touch-fret area to be used on a new kind of note, but you can use your existing guitar with this new version of the game. Of course it also doubles as a bass.
The microphone works just as it does in Rock Band - you will need a controller to use it. The kit comes with a guitar, drums, and a microphone. In order to use all three instruments, 3 Wii controllers are needed. And I strongly suggest using rechargeable batteries or using the recharge station/kits.
Compared to Rock Band, GH World Tour is basically the same game, the major difference is the drum kit. GH's kit has 3 drum pads and two raised stiff rubber cymbal pads, one is primarily used as a high hat and the other as a cymbal. This really adds depth to the drumming simulation and is a bit of a challenge to adjust from Rock Band's 4-pad configuration. The quality of the GH drum kit is high and the pads are pressure sensitive which plays into the game. These pads are much softer than RB's kit and can take much more abuse from panicking rookies and Keith Moon wannabes. The down side of the kit is the foot pedal, very flimsy and it does not connect to the framework like RB so you will no doubt have the wondering pedal as you play the songs.
Expert level guitar players will find no real challenges here, however Expert level drummers and bass players are definitely in for a struggle. Drumming is a much more physical workout than RB and bass players will have to adjust to added open strums.
One neat feature is that you can select several songs in a song list and jam on instead of having to select a new song every time.
One last note, the recording studio is cool in that you can record individual tracks for lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and vocals. It's a commitment to learn all the controls and methods, and is cool for a couple of songs. The resulting songs are... well, not that good. You can go online and upload your creations and download other people's music, but chances are you'll be back to the regular songs in no time.
Overall - make sure you have a few days off when you buy your copy, this is a huge bag of crack just waiting to keep you up for days and away from your emails and avoiding phone calls. Yeah you music game junkies know who you are out there, and this game delivers as expected.
LOUD, AND NOT SO PROUD!!!
History: I have GH3 and RB1 (Wii), and have been pretty happy with both. I do think the RB guitar is better than the GH one because they are more substantial in your hand and give off ALOT less noise by them selves. At first, I thought the RB drums were very loud, but getting the drum pads helped about 50%. (apt. dweller). Now having bought the new GH:WT I was hoping for new improvements to make playing the next gen even better. But alas, not to be. Firstly the guitar: The amount of noise the strummer makes is awful, you get a click & the plastic touching plastic sound (2 sounds) on every note played. If 2 are playing it makes quite a racket all its own. The new sliderbar is very cool and you can use it to strum the notes, but it will make your finger hurt from tapping out all the notes. You also really have to tilt up guitar for powerup to register making you miss notes to rock out. They added a powerup bar, but its not in a spot where you can just hit it w/out missing a note or 2. The guitar is better than the original one, and feels better in your hands, but I think the RBs are WAY quieter and the buttons are less apt to cause finger fatigue because they press with less resistance. ( However, ALL guitars RB&GH need to figure out the whammy bars tendancy to point to the floor when playing (I use scotch tape to hold it horizontal). Lastly, the GH fret buttons are spaced apart, making it harder to roll your pinky to orange. Now the drums: Booo!!!! 1st 0ff, they are very very loud!!! It honestly sounds like you are whacking 3lb country crock butter tubs! The cymbal pads have their own sound, kind of a dulled thud of rubber being hit with a very cheap stick of lightweight wood. This is not so bad, but maybe there will be pads in the future. ( I did put my RB pads on the GH kit,'and it made 0% difference). The pedal is good, except there is no place to store it on the kit like RB so I put some velcro on the crossbar to hang the pedal when stored. I never had any breakage problems with RBs pedal, as others have reported, and this pedal seems as good as the RB one. The different note pads are spaced apart more than RBs so its easier to miss when jamming along at full speed. ( DANGER!! I have hit the drumstick holder tab and broken it off, hitting myself in the forehead with the broken off piece and now have a cut there. (wear safety goggles?) thank god it didnt hit my eye. Bad design! Lastly, the control buttons are black on black w/black markings so its hard to see in a dim room to press pause or use menu to nav the game. (I hope I dont whack the Wiimote as thats kind of in line of fire too.) The mic is just like any other,so no report needed there. The overall game is very good and is WAY faster to load than RB. The music maker seems very time intensive, but good art takes its time to create! The Mii jam part is OK, but seems kind of childish and would be fun if you are really bored with playing the regular game. Making a ROCKGOD to look like yourself is nice, and you can make a logo for your band that goes on backgrounds and shirts. It needs to be said that there are some drum kits (mine=yellow pad) need some kind of update to adjust sensitivity that redoctane will provide if you contact them w/ sensitivity issues. However, you have to have a PC to do this (I dont) and hope I do not have to return gameset,drumset,or yellowpad to fix bug. As far as the noisy controller issues being annoying, you could just turn up the stereo to drown out all the clacking/buttertub sound, but the cut scene volume between songs is so upped (twice as bad as tv commercials loudness) that being an apt. dweller is NOT recommended. I wont say the songlist is better because that is a personal choice, but Im happy with all the tracklists for RB & GH (except Aerosmith, That should have been 29.99) I havent dlc'ed so I cant comment to that, but I hope to do it in the future. So, GH:WT is pretty much the same as RB with noisy contollers and extra features that make it recommendable. Just hope the bad design (breakable parts & Wiimote location, drum issues) will be fixable and lead to months of enjoyment before the next installment comes out. And come on lets get compatability w/each others games as I now have 5 guitars. 2 drumsets and 3 mics.(I use my Boogie mic). With RB2 on the way, Im gonna need a second bedroom or a storage unit to keep all the instruments in!!!!!! KEEP ON ROCKIN!
