With Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits fret board fanatics can once again unleash their inner rock stars anytime, anywhere in single player and multiplayer modes as they hone their shredding skills and jam to face-melting modern rock tracks from the last five years using the DS stylus and the Guitar Hero grip peripheral. The Guitar Hero Grip
Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits utilizes the same Guitar Hero guitar grip peripheral* used in previous two Guitar Hero games for the Nintendo DS. Simply slide the peripheral into the your DS' Game Boy Advance slot and you are ready to shred through 28 master tracks of the hottest Modern Rock available, as well as additional tracks from previous On Tour games, which can be streamed in multiplayer modes. New Playable Character Calista Valenz
Calista Valenz is tough as nails and sweet like candy, with a smile that can melt any man’s heart. Her motto is, "Fake it until you make it," and she has a habit of telling strangers today is her birthday. Calista once volunteered to spend a week in jail for charity and was put behind bars on a Monday, got bored, and somehow escaped that Tuesday. She spent a month running from the law, even though no one was looking, and hid out at a night club. The rocker pretended to be a lead guitarist, and during her first show, a record promoter told her she was a no talent hack. She smacked him upside the head with a sausage and dumped spaghetti down his pants, all with a smile. He stood up and immediately signed her to a lifetime contract. Key Features: - Unique Portability - Use the innovative Guitar Hero DS guitar grip peripheral and the included pick-stylus to strum the touch-activated screen to rock out on the go.
- Single Player Mode - Prove your guitar shredding skills while navigating through Career, Quick Play or Guitar Hero modes with new career modes included for Lead Guitar and Bass, or use Practice Mode to nail those tricky solos.
- Multiplayer Modes - Play Face Off, Pro Face off, Co-op and Guitar Duel together utilizing local wireless play. In addition, more than 80 streamable songs from the entire On Tour catalog are available in multiplayer modes.
- Unique DS Guitar Duel Functionality - Blow into the DS microphone when the touch screen is set on fire in pyrotechnics, or sign an autograph when requested to by an excited fan.
- Character Customization - Select from eight characters, including two new rockers making their debut on the DS. Deck them out with stylish threads and hot guitars and set out to rock.

 Lots of fun January 12, 2010

I was disappointed because every song I tried to play I failed, then I read the instructions DUH. Now I am having a blast with this game. My arm does cramp up, but I stop after a few songs, and that helped. I am learning more about the game, and gaining new fans. I am able to play songs at the medium level, and go up in flames on hard and get about 10% through on expert, its crazy fast. But I'm not a kid, so maybe teens and tweens will have no trouble. I do like playing this game, and just got Decades for more songs. It doesn't deserve the low review ratings IMO.

 Guitar Hero not compatible with DSi January 1, 2010

Found out the hard way that this is one of the few DS games that is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH DSI. Not mentioned on this website. At least I could return it although with only a 1/3 credit. Recommend using Nintendo website to check out any compatibility concerns before making a purchase- Nintendo site will note a DS game that cannot be played on the DSi.

There is no question, Nintendo has had the edge with the success of carrying music games on the go, thanks to the Guitar Hero: On Tour games. While the first 2 were revolutionary for the Nintendo DS, but there has been so much hype for the music games for the DS, thanks to Rhythm Heaven. But, while Guitar Hero: On Tour has been dominant, there has been some new competition thanks to Rock Band Unplugged for Sony's PSP, and with the upcoming Guitar Hero: Smash Hits for the home consoles soon. Buit, with the hype going around, the Nintendo DS has been at it again with a new Guitar Hero: On Tour game, but doe this one say rock on, or is it just a wreck?
Guitar Hero: On Tour Modern Hits for the Nintendo DS, brings in the latest of the musical franchises' game to rock onto the handheld. This one though is not available for the DSi, just the original DS and the DS Lite. The game doesn't honestly bring in a bigger vibe than the 2 previous DS titles though. The graphics do look good, and the control handles well. But, the game itself doesn't seperate itself or bring in the vibe that makes the game dominant. While you do have the same features from before in the story mode like choosing to play like bass guitar, lead, or battling in the dueling guitars mode, there is a new feature that does bring in a bit more challenge in the game well, and that is the fan request challenges like scoring a high score, or accomplishing a 300 note streak. They make the game a bit more challenging for you to earn special unlockables like new guitars and clothes to customize your players. The songlist was honestly not as strong as the 2 previous games either. While there are some standouts like Coldplay's Violent Hill, and Lenny Kravitz's Where Are We Runnin', the set list isn't as solid as I thought it would stand out.
All in all, with all the gameplay, Guitar Hero: On Tour Modern Hits, isn't a strong game as I though it would be. I thought some of the game was challenging, but overall git a bit tired of it. I really am a bit more eager to see how Rock Band Unplugged plays out on the PSP though. i think it might overtake the DS game here, and show it could rock out loud better than this did. Hopefully, if there is another one for the DS soon, it can score better than this one shined.
