Schooled: 'Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades' track list
Let's get one thing straight: Guitar Hero on Tour: Decades is not the equivalent of "playing through the history of rock 'n' roll," as Activision puts it. And even if you could embody this history (which didn't begin in the 1970s, by the way) in just 28 master recordings, the unsubstantial collection wouldn't feature many, if any of the tracks Activision has licensed for its portable sequel. But we digress. You just wanna see the list, right? Head on down!
Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades shreds retail November 16
Fuelled by the uncomfortable stares of those sitting close by, Activision has heard your cries for more on-the-go rocking, confirming that Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades will return to the portable stage on November 16. First announced during E3, the encore performance will include a collection of master tracks pulled from the last 40 years, including Fall Out Boy, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Queen, as well as support wireless connectivity between both it and the original On Tour for competitive and co-op play. Not much else has been revealed, though something tells us that this November bus rides to work just got a little more awkward. %Gallery-33843%
Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades launches November 17 alongside standalone On Tour
There hasn't been an announcement or anything, but GameStop now lists a November 17 release date for Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades, both in its Guitar Grip bundle and alone. In addition, Activision will ship a standalone version of the first On Tour for people picking up the Decades bundle. These standalone games will cost $34.99 each, which is almost as painful to say as it would be to spend. At least the slightly reduced price of the standalone cards will make collecting both games a bit less damaging to household finances than forced bundles, for those among us in single-DS homes.
Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades ... a sequel
Over 350,000 units sold in three weeks ... on a handheld? You're damn straight Activision is already booking a second tour -- call it: Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades. The sequel to last month's (yeah, last month's!) palm-packed jam session was confirmed today during the Nintendo E3 2008 keynote. While not detailed, Decades will likely include a setlist that ranges multiple ... decades. The game will also include a song-sharing feature, allowing those with only the original On Tour to sample the Decades tracks. And apparently, there could be some form of microphone functionality (karaoke?) -- as if On Tour wasn't already awkward enough to play during the morning commute...
