Since the “Rock Band” videogames are starting to get more popular, “Guitar Hero” franchise is coming out with a fifth “Guitar Hero” game titled, “Guitar Hero World Tour” as a way to compete with “Rock Band”. In “Guitar Hero World Tour” will give you the ability to play bass, drums, guitar and mic all at once, just like the “Rock Band” game. It will also give you the ability to compose and write your own original music, also it will let you play online for two groups of four people each.

“Guitar Hero World Tour” is slated to release this fall. Yes, this the 5th Guitar Hero game with “Aerosmith: Guitar Hero” being the 4th”, “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock” being the third.

Activision truly is trying to compete with Rock Band by taking their fans and Activision company even said that in this article. Their goal is to be more popular than “Rock Band”. They don’t want “Rock Band” being more popular than “Guitar Hero”.

I’ll definitely buy “Guitar Hero: Aerosmith” when that comes out this summer, but I won’t be buying this one. “Guitar Hero World Tour” sounds pretty lame and silly, I think it will fail.
