Full description

Handheld gamers can celebrate the longevity of rock & roll by kicking out tunes from the '70s, '80s, '90s, and 2000s in Guitar Hero: On Tour -- Decades. The second Guitar Hero title to hit DS players, On Tour -- Decades once again takes advantage of the "Guitar Grip" accessory that plugs into the GBA slot, letting gamers use their fingertips to match the colored prompts while strumming the touch screen with the "pick-stylus." The game makes further use of the DS' functionality by letting gamers sign autographs with the stylus, offering a voice-activated "star power" feature, and triggering pyrotechnics by blowing into the microphone.

Guitar Hero: On Tour -- Decades features a total of 28 songs for gamers to mimic, including 21 new tracks from artists such as Bon Jovi, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Blind Melon. Wannabe rockers can choose from eight unique characters and then take on all the tracks in single-player "Quick Play," "Guitar Duel," and "Career" modes. Local multiplayer matches let gamers team up to share more than 50 songs from Guitar Hero: On Tour and On Tour -- Decades in "Co-op" mode, or go head-to-head in "Face Off," "Pro Face Off," and "Guitar Duel" modes.
