Guitar Hero On Tour; Decades - Review

Guitar Hero On Tour; Decades
Ages: Everyone +10

We thought that the first version of this game (Guitar Hero On Tour, engineered for the DS, was one of the great coups of the year. Yeah, it was a little hard on the hand - we just tightened the strap. Our singular disappointment was that it was a play-alone experience. With this release, Decades you now can share the music with the On Tour version. For two players there is Face-off - compete head to head with specially designed guitar tracks and Coop - one plays lead, the other plays rhythm or bass. Two more new characters are also available - Clive and Midori.

The song list is awesome:

  • Alien Ant Farm - "Smooth Criminal"
  • The All-American Rejects - "Dirty Little Secret"
  • Blind Melon - "No Rain"
  • Blondie - "One Way Or Another"
  • Bon Jovi - "You Give Love A Bad Name"
  • Boston - "Rock and Roll Band"
  • The Darkness - "I Believe In A Thing Called Love"
  • Edgar Winter Group - "Free Ride"
  • Fall Out Boy - "The Take Over, The Breaks Over"
  • Foo Fighters - "The Pretender"
  • Free - "All Right Now"
  • Jimmy Eat World - "The Middle"
  • Joe Satriani - "Satch Boogie"
  • Journey - "Any Way You Want It"
  • Lenny Kravitz - "Are You Gonna Go My Way"
  • Linkin Park - "One Step Closer"
  • Los Lobos - "La Bamba"
  • Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Sweet Home Alabama (live)"
  • Paramore - "Crushcrushcrush"
  • Queen - "We Are The Champions"
  • R.E.M. - "The One I Love"
  • Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Can't Stop"
  • Sammy Hagar - "I Can't Drive 55"
  • Seether - "Remedy"
  • Smashing Pumpkins - "Tarantula"
  • Stone Temple Pilots - "Down"
  • Veruca Salt - "Volcano Girls"
