Guitar Hero World Tour Reviews

The pros:
- A huge track list filled with tons of great songs
- A relatively quiet drum set with an extra pad
- More complex bass lines thanks to an added note (open strum).

The cons:
- LONG load times between just about every menu and song
- Sub-par sound. Songs are mixed pretty poorly.
- Ugly graphics. Par for the course with a PS2, yes, but Guitar Hero 3 looked much prettier, by comparison.
- Tiny, hard to read fonts for the singer.
- Buggy equipment. My high-hat pad only works if you hit it in a sweet spot. The mic seems to have a hard time tracking tones compared with Rock Band's.

Except for the soundtrack, this game is inferior to Rock Band in just about every respect. It's worth picking up if you've got some extra cash and want something new to play waiting for Rock Band 2 to be released for the PS2, but it's hard to recommend except to folks who are crazy about these kind of games.
