PREVIEWS: Guitar Hero: On Tour
« on: May 30, 2008, 02:26:50 PM »
Here's a peek at part of the set list for the DS version of Guitar Hero.
 http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/previewArt.cfm?artid=16053

 You can't have a Guitar Hero game worth its weight without some good music to back it up.  Guitar Hero: On Tour will include "over 25" songs when it ships later in June, and we have confirmed a list of 20 of those songs.  You can see them, and the venues in which you can play them at, in the list below.    


Subway
  Do What You Want – OK Go
  All the Small Things – blink-182
  Spiderwebs – No Doubt
  Are you Gonna Be My Girl – Jet
  We’re Not Gonna Take It – Twisted Sister    


Rooftop
  All Star – Smashmouth
  Breed – Nirvana
  Jessie’s Girl – Rick Springfield
  Hit Me With Your Best Shot – Pat Benatar
  This Love – Maroon 5    


Parade
  Heaven – Los Lonely Boys
  Helicopter – Bloc Party
  China Grove – The Doobie Brothers
  Rock And Roll All Nite – Kiss (*Cover)
  What I Want – Daughtry    


Greek Arena
  Jet Airliner – Steve Miller Band (*Cover)
  Black Magic Woman – Santana (*Cover)
  Stray Cat Strut – Stray Cats
  La Grange – ZZ Top (*Cover)
  Youth Gone Wild – Skid Row (*Cover)

This is by far the worst song list of any Guitar Hero.

Subway
  Do What You Want – OK Go Yeah, this song just screams Guitar Hero.
  All the Small Things – blink-182 *sigh*
  Spiderwebs – No Doubt Good song, but it's not really a Guitar Hero song, is it?
  Are you Gonna Be My Girl – Jet GOD NO.
  We’re Not Gonna Take It – Twisted Sister The only worthwhile track thus far. Too bad I already sang it a lot in Singstar 80's.


Rooftop  All Star – Smashmouth Overplayed piece of crap.
  Breed – Nirvana Alright, Nirvana's cool.
  Jessie’s Girl – Rick Springfield Fine.
  Hit Me With Your Best Shot – Pat Benatar Wasn't this already in Guitar Hero 80's?
  This Love – Maroon 5 F*CK NO.


Parade  Heaven – Los Lonely Boys Never heard it.
  Helicopter – Bloc Party REPEAT
  China Grove – The Doobie Brothers Anything by the Doobie Brothers is cool by me.
  Rock And Roll All Nite – Kiss (*Cover) REPEAT...AGAIN
  What I Want – Daughtry DAUGHTRY? SERIOUSLY?


Greek Arena  Jet Airliner – Steve Miller Band (*Cover) Sounds good.
  Black Magic Woman – Santana (*Cover) IT'S LIKE GUITAR HERO 3 DS
  Stray Cat Strut – Stray Cats Meh.
  La Grange – ZZ Top (*Cover) I MEAN, COM'ON.
  Youth Gone Wild – Skid Row (*Cover) How about Skid NO?   

By far, the worst track list ever. Virtually no effort, I feel, was put into this soundtrack. Will I still buy the game?

Probably.

I'm not going to argue that the song list is great, because it's not, but it was revealed a while ago that this was going to include songs from Guittar Hero III. A lot of these songs look like Activision attempting to pick songs that appeal to their idea of a "DS audience". Thank God that the Wii gets the same tracklist as the other consoles, or else something like this would be what we'd get.
