We know Guitar Hero World Tour is not just a rumor, however there’s still a part of it that is surrounded by mystery: the price tag! Assuming that Gamestop’s pre-order price is as close to reality as it gets, this would make the next generation of Guitar Hero game even more expensive than Rock Band.
So, before we actually get to see an official price unveiled by Activision, here is what Gamespot is offering: the Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo Wii versions are $189.00, while the PS2 version is $10 less. The guitar kit alone will cost $99.99 for Nintendo Wii, PS2 and Xbox 360, while the game is priced at $49.00 for PS2, and $59.99 for PS3 and Xbox 360.
The new Guitar Hero, which is said to be released this fall, will add a little extra to what we were used to, namely an electronic drum kit and a microphone, as well as a redesigned guitar. And things don’t stop here, as Activision promised the largest on-disc selection of music to date.
Guitar Hero World Tour, with its new drum set, redesigned guitar controller and microphone, is said to deliver the most realistic drum experience ever in a video game. Featuring three drum pads, two raised cymbals and a bass kick pedal, the drum was designed to get gamers as close to reality as possible.
So far, only a few names have been confirmed, such as Van Halen, Linkin Park, Sublime or The Eagles, but further details will come in time. In addition to all that, the game will offer more localized downloadable music than ever before.
Dusty Welch, head of publishing for RedOctane, said the game has the potential to revolutionize user generated content, while at the same time give music fans and gamers a mean of sharing what he called “the most social and expressive music experience ever.”
