Amazon.com Product Description Start a Band...the Guitar Hero WayGuitar Hero World Tour transforms music gaming by expanding Guitar Hero's signature guitar gameplay into a cooperative band experience that combines advanced wireless instruments with online and offline gameplay modes including online Band Career and 8-player "Battle of the Bands," which allows two full bands to compete head-to-head online. The game features a slick redesigned guitar, an authentic electronic drum kit, and a microphone, as well as a Music Studio music creator that lets players compose, record, edit and share their own rock ân’ roll anthems.
Wireless Instruments
New to GHWT is a redesigned, more responsive guitar controller, which features a touch-sensitive slide bar on the neck that allows the player to play through certain song passages without needing to strum. Check out the drum kit featuring three drum pads, two raised cymbals, and a bass kick pedal. The drum controller combines larger and quieter, velocity-sensitive drum heads with soft rubber construction to deliver authentic bounce back and is easy to set up, move, break down and store.
Be the Next Great Songwriter
Music Studio lets players express their musical creativity by giving them access to a full complement of tools to create digital music from scratch utilizing the guitar controller and drum kit. Players can create their tracks and then play them in-game or share the recordings with the entire Guitar Hero community through GHTunes. GHTunes allows other gamers from around the world to download and play the community's original tracks.
Create the Band
Budding rock stars can live out their rock ân’ roll fantasies by playing either a single instrument or any combination of instruments, in addition to the full band experience. When rocking as part of a band, up to four players can jam together in quickplay or as they progress through a career. Both band and single-player careers feature non-linear progression giving artists the option to change difficulty and instruments with a variety of different gigs available at any time.
Never Jam Solo Again
Virtual musicians in need of band mates can take their careers online forming worldwide ensembles so no rock star ever has to play a gig solo. Plus, GHWT adds a "Battle of the Bands" modes, which allows eight players to join online and challenge each other band-to-band to establish global supremacy.
A Game Play Mode Just for the Wii
Jump into the "Mii Freestyle" game play mode that is unique to the Wii. Create Blues, Rock or Metal masterpieces by yourself, or join with friends to jam freely together on guitar controllers and the drum kit controller.
Customize Everything
The character creator allows gamers to create a rock star with style as unique as their own. Absolute customization from the clothes, to the facial and body structure, to the tattoos and accessories, players are encouraged to unleash their inner rock legend. The Rock Star Creator doesn't just allow players to build the ultimate rock god; the in-depth creators include the ability to customize guitars, drums and microphones. Adding yet another layer of personalization, gamers can create custom logos for their instruments, band, or album covers.

Perfect for Rockin OutMarch 10, 2010 S. Johnson(NY, NY) I brought this as a gift for my niece (15 Yrs old) she loves it. If it weren't for the neighbors She'd play 24/7. Worth every penny to keep them out of your hair, buy disks separately for more songs - more fun & variety.
lots of family funMarch 7, 2010 S. Stephenson We have enjoyed this game for the last three months. We even play it when the kids are not around! The one downside is that you do have to have the four Wii remotes to do all four instruments but at least it came with a guitar, drums and microphone. Great price for everything it included. Thought the song selection was nice, with some being pretty easy and others being a bit more difficult (all on the easy setting).
Fun for the family...February 23, 2010 Ironfist(USA) this is a better option, if looking for a "band like" game, compared to RockBand for Wii. The free style mode is fun, even when you don't necessarily understand where is the sound coming from...
The only drawback is that you will need a separate Wii controller for every instrument, including microphone, so, probably you would like to buy some extra Wiimotes.
Perfect gift, excellent timingFebruary 17, 2010 Amador Jesús Guardado Garza(San Nicolás de los Garza, N. L., México) I just bought this bundle pack for a Christmas' gift for my girlfriend. She simply loves it!
The game is great for a starter pack. We are also thinking of getting the GH5 guitar bundle the same way.
And regarding the service, Amazon is the best! The products I had ordered arrived before the estimated time, which is the main reason I recommend purchasing through here.
Fun while it lastedFebruary 16, 2010 Robert M. Hayes(PRAIRIEVILLE, LA, US) Bought the Wii kit for Christmas. Played it for the first time the day after Christmas. Kids thought it was kind of hard to do, but after a little encouragement they palyed some more, less than 10 times. Then the unit broke. The yellow cymbol quit working. I thought "No problem" and went to ebay to order a new cymbol. New cymbol didn't fix it. Borrowed a known good cymbol and that didn't work either. Very little warranty time and now I own a $[...] microphone. I DO NOT recommed this product!!
