Setlist wise, for the first time in the Guitar Hero series following Rock Band 2’s precedent, all 84 songs in World Tour are complete master recordings: No covers to speak of, allowing anyone to enjoy each song as their artists originally intended. In addition to the aforementioned career modes, World Tour also includes an in-depth Music Studio feature, which allows users to create their own songs and share them online customizing everything from the lead, rhythm, and bass guitar tracks, a drum track, and a “hum-along” vocal track by either playing it with the instruments in real time, slowed down, or manually one note at a time with a number of different sound effects and distortion pedals to add. Part of this likely had to do with the sturdier-quality instruments, as many consumers complained about the mushy quality of the strum bar on Rock Band’s guitars and the fragile kick pedal on the drums, which had an unfortunate tendency to break when played too hard. It absolutely worked: While World Tour may not have been critically received quite as well as Rock Band 2, sales for World Tour nearly doubled that of Rock Band 2, making it the clear consumer favorite by a landslide.

After the absolutely smashing success of both Rock Band 1 and 2,Activision knew it had to severely step its game up from just guitar in order to compete with its own former developer, especially after the somewhat tepid critical reaction to their recent DS and Aerosmith titles. Enter Guitar Hero’s answer to Rock Band in the form of World Tour: Adding drums and a microphone to their already successful guitar and bass formula, as well as full career modes for all four instruments and the full band, Activision hoped to reignite their former enthusiasm with the gaming public with what many have considered simply following in the wake of Harmonix’s success.
