Game Overview

Guitar Hero: On Tour arrived on the Nintendo DS in 2008, a portable take on the rhythm game phenomenon published by Activision. It was a clever attempt to translate the living room party experience to a handheld during the peak of the franchise's popularity, a time when the DS library was full of inventive, touchscreen-focused titles.

You control a guitarist in a band, and the main objective is to hit scrolling notes in time with licensed rock songs. The signature mechanics are the guitar grip peripheral you slot into the Game Boy Advance slot, which gives you four fret buttons to hold, and the primary use of the touchscreen for strumming and executing star power. The game's pacing is fast, and the difficulty ramps up considerably on the higher settings, demanding quick finger coordination. It feels surprisingly physical and immersive for a game played on a small dual-screen device.
