The console version may come with a plastic peripheral – but at least it still looks like a guitar. This was never going to be feasible for a DS Guitar Hero, and the solution feels initially like an odd compromise. On Tour comes with a chunky black grip that slots into the DS's GBA slot, with four buttons and a hand strap that runs around the back of the DS.
Held like a book, and assuming you are right-handed, you watch the colored notes slide down the left screen while you strum with the plectrum-shaped stylus on the right, while holding down the button of the appropriate color.

GoozerNation author Ryan Johnson loves delving into the Value Bin and Available Now sections of Goozex to find a game that perhaps was wanted back in the day, but wasn't purchased because it was just too much of a risk. Last time in, he found Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades for a mere 100 Goozex points. While it was a bit pricey back in the day, this was an unpassable deal. Is the game worth searching out?

Chris Buffa (Modojo): For the most part, the video game industry is fairly predictable and disinterested in taking risks. That explains the glut of sequels and copycat titles collecting dust in stores and warehouses.
That said, a handful of companies and designers occasionally do something different. Results have been mixed, but by and large, these games stand out for offering a unique experience you can't find anyplace else.
