Guitar Hero DS revealed – shots, details, video
Wow. Check this out. The DS version of Guitar Hero – Guitar Hero: On Tour – will come with a fret device that slots into DS’s GBA cart port. The game will include a line-up of more than 20 licensed songs from bands as Nirvana, OK Go, and No Doubt. The multiplayer stuff sounds awesome: players can activate power-ups that’ll send raving fans to an opponent’s screen, who will then have to sign autographs on the touchscreen to get rid of them. Or out-of-control pyrotechnics will be set ablaze, and players will have to blow them out using the DS microphone.
There’s a movie here. Guitar Hero: On Tour releases this summer.

I’m not sure my frail ego could handle playing that with anyone watching me.

I don’t think it’ll catch on, tbh.

I don’t know about that – it could be massive. Though yeah, the embarrassment factor would be high. With headphones, though…
Either way, if you’re making a Guitar Hero for the DS, this looks like pretty much the perfect way to do it.

I should’ve wrapped my comment in /sarcasm tags I see!

Jesus, you guys are so self-conscious! Live a little for crying out loud
Note: whether or not playing this game actually constitutes as “living” is another argument

This game actually offends me. Young people should be getting pregnant and taking drugs, not playing Guitar Hero on DS.
