Guitar Hero On Tour revealed!

Rumours about a Guitar Hero DS have been floating around the web for quite a while, and IGN/Yahoo Games revealed today they were true!

The 'Guitar Grip' plugs into the DS GBA slot.

Guitar Hero On Tour was revealed earlier Wednesday exclusively at IGN and Yahoo Games (I don't know if this means I shouldn't be posting this here, but whatever). The game's unique setup has you plugging in a 'Guitar Grip' peripheral into the GBA slot. The Guitar Grip has four fret buttons on it, and from there you play like you would a console version of Guitar Hero... oh forget it. The trailer will explain things better.



Just like in the console versions, GH:OT will have a single-player mode where players eventually progress through different venues and unlock new characters, outfits and songs. There will also be a fair share of multiplayer options, including Battle Mode with all-new powerups that make use of the mic and touch-screen.

Guitar Hero: On Tour features upwards of twenty songs from artists including Nirvana, OK Go and No Doubt. It's rated E10+ for lyrics and ships this summer. I'm remaining cautiously optimistic about this one; it has the potential to become the DS' summer smash-hit this year.
