NL writes: "Guitar Rock Tour is a rerelease of the game of the same name we saw on Nintendo DS late last year. The game falls into the genre of games such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band, albeit on somewhat of a budget. There are fifteen tracks to tap along to and two modes of play over three levels of difficulty."
Guitar Rock Tour is an admirable attempt to make a downloadable handheld version of Guitar Hero for the DSiWare. The problem here lies in the fact that where this game succeeds is not enough to overlook where it faulters. The lack of vocals and song variety is inexcusable, and unless you are a beginner who has not played a music and rhythm game before pass on this one, as it offers nothing new to experienced players.
Slashgamer: "Prince is considered to be one of the greatest musicians of our time. Honestly, even if for some reason you can't stand him, it's hard to argue his greatness, just look at his achievements. The artiest has won seven Grammy Awards, one Golden Globe and even an Academy Award for his work on Purple Rain.
Even with his legendary work, comes controversy. Without me getting to much into it, just go to his Wikipedia page and look under 'controversy.' With that said, PBS asked Prince on his thoughts about Guitar Hero. Although he didn't necessarily criticizes the rhythm game, he just doesn't think it should be a substitute for playing an actual guitar."
PALGN writes: "Guitar Rock Tour is a game clinging to the back of the (ahem) bandwagon, looking to siphon off a few dollars from people who either have no access to one of the full-blown music games, or just like the idea of rocking out on the go. GTR is a reasonable stab at a the genre, but spending an hour or two with it really only serves to remind you how much fun Guitar Hero and Rock Band really are, and that your money would be better used to bribe your way into the home of a friend who already owns either of the bigger, better games".
