Guitar Hero: On Tour
From WikiHero
[edit] Gameplay
The gameplay in On Tour was designed to be similar to the home console games while still maintaining the portability of the Nintendo DS. The new Guitar Grip peripheral replaces the guitar controller of the home games with an adapter for older DS systems; it attaches to the DS's GBA slot and features four fret buttons. In order to strum, the player uses their stylus (a special pick-shaped stylus is included with the game) to strum the notes on the touch screen. Star Power is activated either by blowing or speaking into the DS's microphone, pressing one of the system's face buttons, or tapping the Star Power meter.
[edit] Soundtrack
Guitar Hero: On Tour features two different track lists, one for primarily English-speaking regions including North America, the British Isles, and Australia, and another for other non-English-speaking European countries with five replacement songs.[1] Both track lists includes 26 licensed tracks including one bonus track, with about 85% of them being master recordings.[2] Twenty are exclusive to this version of Guitar Hero while the remaining six songs have previously been used within the series. Freezepop's "I Am Not Your Gameboy" is a bonus song that is unlocked by completing Guitar Duels on one difficulty in the game.

[edit] Trivia
- Hit Me With Your Best Shot and Pride and Joy were cover versions in Guitar Hero III but are now Master Tracks.
- In "Guitar Duel" mode, one of the autograph books that you have to sign has Casey Lynch's and Lars Ümlaüt's names on it.
- On the On Tour website it says that Gunner Jaxon is Gunner Jackson and Memphis Rose is Memphis Belle. It is unknown why these names where changed.
- There have been rumors about having 5 bonus songs for the game: I Am Not Your GameBoy by Freezepop, Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n' Roses, Crazy Train by Ozzy Osborne, Master Of Puppets by Metallica and Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers. I Am Not Your GameBoy is the only real bonus song.
