Guitar Hero World Tour

Tuesday, 10 February 2009 01:04 by bendaniel

Being fans of Guitar Hero 3 for X-Box 360 we decided to buy Guitar Hero World Tour.

GHWT Box

We bought the full kit which includes:

  • A much better looking guitar: check out that beautifully vanished plastic base!

New Guitar

  • A rocking USB microphone:

  • And perhaps most exciting: the drum kit:

Star Power!

If you've played Guitar Hero before you'll be familiar with Star Power.

It's basically a power up which doubles the amount of points you earn while playing.

Tilting your guitar up activates star power (acting like a tool is optional).

Also once activated, electricity shoots off your character and for a moment everything tastes blue.

Tool Power!

Star Power on the drums?

So it doesn't take a genius to work out that if tilting one's axe activates star power for a guitarist then tilting the drum kit must activate it for a drummer!

Drummer Noob 

Unfortunately I couldn't seem to activate star power on our defective drum kit. In fact there must have been something really wrong with our drum kit because I was completely rubbish at it, lol.

At least that's what I thought until my diva wife pushed me off and jumped on! ;-)

Drumming Diva, Jules Grohl!

In fact, Jules got so into it she didn’t even notice part of the drum kit break and fly right off as she hammered down on the kit!!

In all seriousness though, we had the kids on the weekend and all four of us played in a band together. It was great family fun. Chloe played lead guitar, Alex played bass, I played the drums (mainly cause neither of the kids wanted to, lol) and Jules showed us she's a closet rapper on the mic! Her rendition of "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" would have made the Beasty Boy's proud! lol ;-)
