The Portable Gamer writes: "This portable version, while being a seriously good try, just falls short of the "brililant" mark. I'd recommend you buy it only if you just can NOT get enough of the genre, and spend a lot of time away from your console. Otherwise, give it a rent (if you can – hard to say if they rent the peripheral or not), or wait until they actually get it right. How do I know if they got it right? I find myself thinking of the times when I can get back to playing it. This game? Not so much".

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?

Craig Hasselback writes: "Activision just continues finding new ways to go from the popular publisher that stayed the course and rose to number one, to being the big jerk that is too big for their own britches as my grandpa would say. Since becoming the number publisher, Activision has done everything possible to piss off gamers."
Well sadly, until the average gamer realizes that they are getting screwed over, Activision is going to be number 1 for a while(as much as I hate to say it).........
... it seems they can.
You need to get the message across with your wallet!
If you LOVE gaming, and if you HATE the way Activision is doing business: DON'T BUY ACTIVISION GAMES (or buy them used) and certainly DON'T BUY THEIR DLC!
It's THAT simple!
Amen. Honestly all the major pubs are starting to become jacked up. Take-Two with the DLC on BioShock 2's disc. EA with selling "DLC" that unlocks content in sports games instead of playing to earn it.
They're all borderline A-holes
Overcharging is the problem. Dragon Age Origins is one of my favorite games but the dlc is overpriced. dlc should cost a few dollars or it should be free.
D+PAD Magazine Writes:
By now videogamers will be well versed not just in the mechanics of guitar-based music games, but the entire critical discourse that surrounds them. It's almost as though this review doesn't need to exist; here's the introduction, there'll be the odd paragraph on how this is just glorified DLC dressed up as a standalone disc, and a little bit on the odd changes that may have been made since Band Hero and Guitar Hero 5 were released just six months ago. The only section that betrays the shifting fortunes of this once dominant and financially phenomenal genre will be the one that focuses on falling sales and drifting consumer interests – a far cry from the notices of 2008, when Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour were set to launch and everything was still so exciting.
Wait a minute, so you are saying that this game is actually good?
This looks like it would be insanely hard to pull off
i not sur about it, but if you say is good
Any time I see the word "Rock Band" or "Guitar Hero" I give myself 30 lashes for not playing more of my real instruments. How many more incarnations can they come out with...
I'm waiting for Rock Band: Air Supply
