Play Guitar Hero - On Tour - Decades (GUARDiAN) Online
You hold your DS sideways like a tiny guitar, tapping the touchscreen fretboard while classic rock blasts through tinny speakers—it’s janky but weirdly satisfying once you get the hang of it.
Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades came out for the Nintendo DS in 2008, published by Activision. It was part of that wave of portable rhythm games trying to capture the living room experience, and it definitely stood out for its unique hardware approach on the dual screen handheld.
You control a guitarist on the top screen, matching colored notes as they scroll toward you by holding down the corresponding buttons on the Guitar Grip peripheral and strumming the touchscreen. The main goal is to hit as many notes as possible to keep the crowd energized and advance through setlists of songs from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. Signature mechanics include using the DS's microphone for shout sections and tapping the screen rapidly for sustained star power phrases. The difficulty ramps up noticeably in later tiers, demanding quick finger transitions and careful timing. It feels surprisingly physical and immersive for a handheld, even with the occasional calibration hiccup.
