Excellent handheld option for GH buffs! August 18, 2008
S. Beller (Long Island, New York)
Okay, so it's not EXACTLY like playing a guitar (not that regular GH is...) but it's a pretty neat translation for the DS system. Some good songs, but mostly one's I'd never heard of.
PROS:
-Decent number of songs
-Awesome dueling mode that keeps things interesting
-Pretty good graphics for a DS game
-Great hand exercise!
CONS:
-Not good for younger players with little hands. I've got small hands, and I have to tighten the strap a lot and stretch my hand
-Not the same "I can play guitar!" feel
Overall, worth the investment. I hear there's a sequel in the works to be sold sans controller, so it won't be as expensive.
Nintendo DS Guitar Hero August 15, 2008

I bought this for my 12 yr old son, who already has the regular guitar hero and he loves it so much he wanted it for his DS. He says he finds it easier than the full size version and enjoys playing it quite alot so I have to give it a thumbs up. Shipping was quick and brand new as described and he loves it so I guess that sums it up.
 Fun August 13, 2008

Fun and easy to play. Good graphics and awesome songs. 4.5 or 5 stars out of 5.
 Good Game, But The Little Things Take It... August 10, 2008
Taylor Hamilton (Martensdale, IA USA)
I was really hesistant to buy this game, personally. A Guitar Hero on the DS seems, I don't know, out of place. I played it (rented), and I loved it! It's really good, to tell you the truth, but there are a few hangups.
the Guitar grip peripheal doesn't fit that well into the DS. It slides out at points and just kind of feels unnatural. The strumming is unresponsive and the whammy system could cause extra notes to be strummed towards the end of the sustained note. The song list does seem to lean to newer songs, but there is a lot of older songs that Guitar Hero devotees will like. I say that if you are a die hard guitar hero nut, go get this. If not, just wait untill Guitar Hero: World Tour for some new freshness.
Portable Guitar Hero August 10, 2008
A. Rose (Macon, GA)
Guitar Hero on Tour is a portable game for the Nintendo DS that has its moments. Although there are only about 25 songs to play in this game a lot of people don't realize that 25 full songs is actually a lot for the small DS cartridge. They designed it wonderfully with full use of the DS's touch screen. Once you find the right hand position it doesn't hurt anywhere near as much.
