Now, this is cool as hell.

The creator:

Guitar Hero: World Tour Review

Guitar Hero World Tour 1

A year ago, if you would have told me that Guitar Hero or Rock Band are great games - I would have laughed in your face. I used to think that all music rhythm games are stupid and gimmicky. After trying Guitar Hero 3 for the first time (on PlayStation 2), I got myself hooked. When Guitar Hero: World Tour was announced I promised myself I would get it on launch day. I kept that promise.

Guitar Hero: World Tour has a great lineup of songs (84 to be exact - not including custom songs and DLC) and almost every one of them is fun to play. The songs are from different eras in music - starting with songs that were released in the 60s, ande advancing to really recent ones. Guitar Hero: World Tour, unlike previous games in the series, lets you play songs that are not related to the Rock genre. Samba and Trance are also available for you to play. One of the nicest things in these rhythm games is that they expose the player to songs that he would have never heard unless playing these games. Of course you can find the well known songs from artist like Blink 182, The Eagles, No doubt, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Jimi Hendrix and more.
