A modern phenomenon, the Guitar Hero franchise has relentlessly taken videogames by storm since it first appeared nearly four years ago. Giving non-guitar playing philistines (including myself) the chance to feel like a rock god with a peripheral that wouldn't look out of place at a Fisher-Price store, the series has continued to grow without losing (much) steam.
So it was perhaps inevitable that the franchise would shift away from its home console beginnings and go portable, which is where Guitar Hero: On Tour comes in. Bundled with the 'Guitar Grip', a four fret add-on that slips neatly into the DS' GameBoy Advance slot, the game aims to deliver the same Guitar Hero experience on the move. But without the usual plastic guitar, can On Tour even begin hoping to replicate the same thrills of the main franchise?"

GoozerNation author Ryan Johnson loves delving into the Value Bin and Available Now sections of Goozex to find a game that perhaps was wanted back in the day, but wasn't purchased because it was just too much of a risk. Last time in, he found Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades for a mere 100 Goozex points. While it was a bit pricey back in the day, this was an unpassable deal. Is the game worth searching out?

Chris Buffa (Modojo): For the most part, the video game industry is fairly predictable and disinterested in taking risks. That explains the glut of sequels and copycat titles collecting dust in stores and warehouses.
That said, a handful of companies and designers occasionally do something different. Results have been mixed, but by and large, these games stand out for offering a unique experience you can't find anyplace else.
