We had some issues with the drums, and the rather unimaginative career mode, but Guitar Hero: World Tours varied set list still kept us jamming along happily. And we much prefer the guitar to Rock Bands rather poor effort, not to mention Guitar Hero...

A huge leap forward in co-operative play, Guitar Hero World Tour is a worthy addition to the franchise and will offer hours of fun for anyone willing to pick up an instrument and invest some time. An awesome effort, although not without its flaws...
Instrument quality has been taken to a new level. Great co-operative online content, and difficulty curve has been adjusted to better reflect the fun nature of band play. Finally, a star power button within easy reach.
Career mode lacks diversity. Modifications to the hammer-ons and pull-offs in regards to accuracy are a step backward. Youll either love or loathe the new guitars strum bar.
