Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits
Ages: Everyone 10+

Hey, hey - All I want to do is play with my buddies. I love having all the songs unlocked in Quickplay. Not only that, in two-player wireless mode, Song Sharing mode, my buddy and I have a set list of over 75 songs. I am a one happy strummer, just being one part of some Bass/Rhythm or Guitar duo.

The sound is surprisingly good but much better with headphones. The graphics are really for the people on the side watching 'cause I am keeping my eyes on the notes, but they do seem more brilliant, maybe because they are concentrated on the small DS screen. The pick - a nice touch.

I guess, after I get tired playing the 75 songs, I might be willing to go into Career Mode. In the improved version you don’t have to play every single song to beat the game. There is also a Fan Request system which has to be unlocked, but it feels like just making scores and not just enjoying playing,

My hand was not engineered for continual play with the Guitar Grip. Best be philosophic about it. I've added a handkerchief - even a chopstick to alleviate the strain but nothing seemed to work. So I am doing the Zen of Guitar Hero. When it hurts - stop - do something else - make dinner, go out for walk. BTW, try learning to play a real guitar - that gives cramps too.

Because I am impressed with the number of songs available, I managed to make a list of all 75 here.
