Guitar Hero World Tour

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!

Tool 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.

 

Star Power on the drums?

So it doesn't take a genius to work out 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 crap at it, lol.

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

Jules Grohl

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 ;-)
