Guitar Hero: World Tour - Guitar Bundle (PS2) 
Customer Ratings: - Big kids love it too ,-). I bought this for my 9 year old son for Christmas... but its as popular with the adults as the kids ... we had to buy a 2nd controller to do duel games to stop the arguing over the turns.
Even though the kids hadn t heard of most of the tunes on it, there is a lot more (better) songs on guitar hero 3 than the earlier versions.. and they kids soon learned them all and now my son is a fan of Korn and Linken park... lol
My 5 year old plays on the beginner level as the buttons are to far apart form him to do easy level quick enough... but saying that.. he is only 5 and the game states from 12+ so I wont hold them responsible for my little one not being the best at it ,-)
great buy.
- ok so i got this today. I would be very careful when getting this product, you require a NEW ps2 at least one released within the last 6 months. It would not read in 4 of the ps2 s I have in my house and i scoured the web searching for the reason. PS2 systems that have a serial number beginning with 7 or lower wont read multi layer disks. Good for sony and amazon to let us know this isnt it?
- Disappointing. I bought the guitar bundle on PS2 and after Guitar hero III this was a big disappointment to me.
Bad Points:
The songs, if you know many, go on for a long time and became monotonous and boring, I was even waiting for some of them to end. I felt sorry for who would have to sing them in the band.
The guitar is quite heavy compared to the previous one and the strummer is a bit stiffer and the buttons heavier, so if you play for a long time like I do, it s painful!!! The whammy is too long and gets in the way. You can use your hero III guitar with the game if you want, as you can still play the slider and riff sections using the normal buttons and whammy (which is what I did in the end).
After excitedly buying my new guitar!!! I didn t reckon much to the new slider and tap bar. The colours denoting the slider notes are facing downwards so only someone watching you can see them, rather than the guitarist and the spacing is so big compared to the buttons that if you have small hands it s difficult to move quickly on them. To do some of the riffs you have to tap the notes AND press the corresponding buttons at the same time. This is quite hard and you need octopus hands for this as then you have to move back to playing normal notes on the strummer quite quickly. Only seriously obsessed hero III guitarists will manage this in my opinion!!!
Saying this, the songs are easier to play than on hero III. I have nearly finished Hard on hero III. Hard setting on world tour was more like the Medium setting on Hero III so most of the game was gone as I was playing Expert on World Tour to get a challenge- I completed Hard and there were only 2 bosses to play against near the beginning of the game.
I found the composition section difficult to use. I can read music and tried to compose a known tune but couldn t find B on the guitar scale I was using. I ended up using the chromatic keyboard instrument but you have to lift your guitar to go up an octave. This was awkward when playing and you had to remember not to lower your guitar or the notes went down an octave again. I wanted to compose a Gary Moore tune... I think I would have managed Three Blind Mice...
The sound of the provided compositions was disappointing.
Good Points:
You can play about with how your guitarist looks and buy them lots of stuff to wear and neat guitars. You can change hair, face shape, eye colour, make-up etc. You could design someone to look like yourself or put one of the main characters in. (Slash and Tom Morello aren t in this one.)
You can choose to play bass as well as/or lead guitar.
It s got a beginner section for those that just want to practice strumming without worrying about the notes.
The guitar is wireless so you can jump and dance about whilst playing...much fun!!! :-)
Conclusion- I think this game is more for guitarists that want an easier game, or for a band set up. Mums and Dads might know more of the songs, but I doubt the younger generation will know many.
It s more pop than rock.
