For those about to rock!

Guitar Hero is everywhere, and thanks to Guitar Hero On Tour, you can take Guitar Hero anywhere. Continuing the success of Guitar Hero On Tour, Guitar Hero On Tour Decades brings new songs, new venues and characters, and new career modes to the DS. With a new library of music, characters and venues, the game delivers a portable way for gamers to unleash their inner rockstars while playing through the history of rock ’n’ roll.



Play through any one of three different career paths, each with their own story: Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, and Guitar Duel. Make your way to stardom while jamming to more than two dozen songs and four challenging difficulty levels. With all this squeezed into a single DS cartridge, Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades offers unbelievable replayability.



The innovative Guitar Grip peripheral mimics the fret board of an actual guitar in a similar way to the guitar peripheral of the console Guitar Hero games while the included Pick Stylus lets you experience realistic picking and strumming. It all adds up to create a game that allows you to rock out anytime, anywhere.



The cartridges for Decades are specially designed in order to create the optimum audio experience. More memory on the cartridges allows for a greater number of songs without sacrificing audio fidelity. The developers at Vicarious Visions have taken the extra steps to craft audio mixes that take full advantage of the Nintendo DS hardware. The end result is the highest quality sound possible in a Nintendo DS product.



Shred to classic songs from every decade from 1970 to today. The song list spotlights some of the biggest songs in rock history. Rock out in brand new venues set through the course of rock history, inspired by the most important trends from the last 40 years. Not only does Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades feature the most varied selection of songs in any Guitar Hero game to date, but every single song in the game is a master track by the original artists.



Guitar Hero on Tour Decades is rated E10+ for Lyrics. If you are ok with most of the music on rock radio, you and your family will enjoy rocking out to several familiar tunes.



Rock out wherever, whenever with Guitar Hero On Tour Decades, only on the Nintendo DS.
