![]() While the additions to the guitar peripheral and game are surprisingly impressive, it’s likely most people are going to want to sit down behind the new addition to the Guitar Hero franchise: the drums. And it should be noted that all of the old Guitar Hero instruments will work with World Tour, despite this redesign … you’ll just miss out on some of the new functionality. ![]() While it’ll still be possible to play the game in a more traditional manner, Neversoft promises that this type of creative playing will be rewarded with higher scores and unlockables. There will be sections where notes will run down the on-screen fret highway by sliding back and forth, you “catch” the notes, a mechanic that Neversoft likened to the old Activision title Kaboom!. Not merely a gimmick, Neversoft demonstrated a number of ways in which this addition would work with World Tour. Further down the neck sits a new feature that will significantly change how you interact with the game - a touch-sensitive slider. Slight tweaks in look and feel probably would have been fine for even the most hardcore Guitar Hero gamer, but Neversoft and Activision weren’t content to simply rest on their laurels. The bridge of the guitar, a small silver bar, now serves as the “back” button as well as a secondary way to activate “Star Power.” Although it was hard to see because of the guitar’s all-black finish (which will likely change before it ships, and even has changed in the pictures provided to us), the direction pad is now designed to look like a knob, with the PS3 home or Xbox 360 guide button in the middle. The now-iconic colored five-button scheme makes its return, as does the whammy bar (which is slightly longer, making it easier to reach). At first glance, the new peripheral is a bit bigger, but not much different than the original Guitar Hero design. He’s referring to the new iteration of the instrument that got us into this mess in the first place, the guitar.
