Guitar Hero "On World Tour"


An article from Reuters has confirmed that Activision will release a new Guitar Hero installment, this time with drums, microphone, and bass guitar.

The new title will be labeled "Guitar Hero World Tour" and will be available for every console under the sun including the good olde PS2.

There is currently no definite release date set.

Rockers will also be able to play online in a battle royal with other 4-player groups.

This will likely come in the Fall, months after "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith" - due next month - and a Nintendo DS installment titled "On Tour."

Lets hope this gives the Guitar Hero franchise a boost in the "Rock Star" direction.

I personally love one quote from an analyst in the article:

"I certainly think it takes the edge off 'Rock Band'," said Mike Hickey, an analyst with Janco Partners. "What's 'Rock Band' going to do now, add a flute and banjo?"


My thoughts exactly.
