Guitar Hero On tour: Modern Hits
This is a compensated review for Mom Central - I was supplied the game for review.
The makers of Guitar Hero introduced Guitar Hero
On Tour: Modern Hits for the Nintendo DS system, a follow-up to the On
Tour and Decades games previously released. The game features 28 songs,
all radio-edits of modern rock hits from bands including Coldplay, Fall
Out Boy, Weezer, The Strokes and Wolfmother. Besides being able to take
the game on the road, the Nintendo DS has a wireless feature that
allows song streaming and multiplayer modes. Imagine all of the kids in
the backseat of your car entertaining themselves and challenging each
other!
My kids LOVED this game. It kept the quiet for literally hours of each day that they played, and they actually (gasp!) cooperated and taught each other the tricks. It took a few minutes for them to discover how to strum without the notes sliding past, but once they passed the learning curve, it was smooth sailing. Mackenzie and Gabriel say that their favorite part of the entire game is the dueling, where you fight against another player - chosen for you - and select your level. The winner is given more points and you can use the points to buy a new wardrobe or guitar.
As an aside, I'll be SO glad when they get sick of Dirty Little Secret - they've WORN that song flat out for me.
Check out the game, available for Nintendo DS - I think you'll like it!
