Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I kinda want this, even though I really disliked the music in all of Guitar Hero games so far ,but the DS is lacking in true music games... Why hasn't Konami made any music game for the DS so far is beyond me.
Maybe you're a candidate for a real guitar and then you can make your own sweet, sweet, music?
Mile, people like you just don't get it.
are u kidding?
have u played "elite beat agents"
or better yet the japanese counterparts
"Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan" 1 & 2
best games for the DS hands down.
BTW its too bad u need a grip for this game -
I played EBA and Ouendan 2 and they are certainly the best DS games out now. I'm just waiting for EBA 2.
Of course I played EBA and Ouendan, that's why I said DS needs some true music games, anything from Konami, like Beatmania or even DJ MAX
You didn't like anything from any of the GH games? It must suck to only like crap. Why not just move to Japan, pretend the girls there like you, and listen to whatever crap-of-the-week is popular there?
At least that way we wouldn't have to deal with your constant whining.
Hold, chill out.
Stop being such a fanboy. There's fanboys, and there's people who need to get over obsessions.
Honestly, I didn't like guitar hero either. It's sad that many other rhythm based games fell through which had just as much, and often more than guitar hero did.
I play the guitar and I hated guitar hero. I love rock music and I hated guitar hero, I'll continue to hate guitar hero. It's not as amazing as people claim.
AaaLLRIiiGHT! ROCK OoUuTthht
The logo on the back makes the DS look really tacky.
yeah....is it permanently affixed to the console, or is it just a sticker I can peel off?
Please be the latter....
The DS already looks tacky though, a few stickers just aid its failing.
"Pocket rockers" sounds kinda dirty...
Wasn't "Pocket Rockers" a mini 8-track for kids?
That might have been "Pocket Rockets"...but I'm not sayin' that's any better!
Found Pocket Rockers:

That's an amazing article.
i got escorted out of a movie theater once because i was rockin' in my pocket a little too hard.
Now you can look like a douchebag anywhere - not just in your living room.
I'm suprised they don't make ROCK BAND for DS.
You already got the guitar attachment.
All you need is a drum pad attachment (with two styluses)
and the built in Mic.
and then you use the WiFi to play with nearby people.
If you see my pocket rockin', don't come a-knockin'!
errrrm cool?
Um, I wouldn't say that you "get" the Guitar Grip as a part of this bundle, you get that when you purchase the game. There really isn't a way to *not* get the grip, so why point it out as a feature of the bundle?
I agree. Shouldn't it read "...the Guitar Hero: On Tour game with Guitar Grip."
$129.99 + $49.99 = $179.98. And you call $179.99 a fair "deal"?
Its a penny convenience charge, beats ticketmaster any day. Granted you would think that a bundle would save you money, that is unless its a special edition color bundle with a game made by Konami.
You guys all need to learn how to play a 5 fret guitar!
My guitar has 24 frets...what's this 5 fret you're talking about? =P
The Guitar Hero "guitar" I think is what he was talking about. But seriously have any of you heard about the Guitar Rising game? Its like guitar hero but with a real guitar, and supposedly will teach people something about playing real music. Thats the one I am really looking forward to!
Here's a question...I have an original DS, not a DS Lite (can't justify buying a new DS when mine is just fine). Will I have a problem connecting the guitar grip?
No, it fits.
Maybe it is just me... But the whole point of Guitar Hero is to "play" a guitar... And with people paying a small fortune for the perfect "AXE" I do not understand why anyone would want this..
It looks NOTHING like a guitar.
So am I the only one who thinks that this is just to milk the Guitar Hero name?
It's just you. The rest of us want to "play" a game.
This is a game.
gawdYEASH!!!!!!!
Sadly i sold my ds lite (white
Rawk
And the terror begins...
But...where is the fun with just 4 buttons? :|
I'm interested in the game (not the bundle - I already have a DS Lite, and I'm not sure I'd want the logo on my DS anyway... though the silver/black color scheme is nice) even though it seems to take a lot of heat from most people. I ride the train to and from work every day, and this would be another fun game to have for that ride. No, I won't be yelling "Rock Out" into the mic. I'll be using the buttons for star power (the face buttons have been shown to work, but I hope the L/R buttons work too, since they naturally lay right at your thumb.) As far as 4 buttons versus 5... I've yet to be able to play the console game with 5 buttons anyway. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do it. I'm just not that good, though I enjoy playing it. What's a shame is that they didn't incorporate a tilt-sensor into the grip. Why not?
wtf the Guitar Hero: World Tour full bundle costs $10 more than this
