Guitar Hero DS Officially Announced
March 21st, 2008 by Rajiv Ashrafi in News, Nintendo DS
Milking the popularity of the Guitar Hero series, Activision today announced Guitar Hero: On Tour, a portable game in the series, for the DS. The game will challenge players to prove their skills in rhythmic button-tapping on-the-go to various tracks, including music from Nirvana, OK Go and No Doubt.
Interestingly, the game will be packaged with a Guitar Grip peripheral that will fit snugly into the DS; an unique Guitar Hero pick-stylus will also be provided for the gameplay.
“We’re designing Guitar Hero: On Tour from the ground up to take full advantage of the DS platform by integrating signature gameplay with fresh new content and DS specific features,” said Karthik Bala, CEO of Vicarious Visions. “We’ve taken all of our learnings on the DS platform to date and pushed it to the limits to create a truly innovative Guitar Hero experience.”
Fans will be able to battle it out via Wi-fi. The game will feature five unlockable venues, six characters - two of which are new and exclusive to this game - and more. It is scheduled for release this Summer.

sounds alright, even though its a bit tacky and the game is a bit pointless.

Agreed, one of the best things about playing the Guitar Hero series is physically holding the guitar controller.
