After going back and forth in my head as to whether I needed third little plastic guitar (I have two for the PS2 versions of Guitar Hero) I bought Guitar Hero World Tour for the Xbox360 last night. I have to say, I was not dissapointed. The track list is pretty extensive and definitely an eclectic mix. I was pleasently surprised to see not one but three songs by Tool, and you play them in a group with special Tool-esque graphics swirling around instead of the typical band scene behind the note track.

The guitar is by far the best quality of the three I own, and way better than the wired guitar that came with Guitar Hero 3 for the Xbox360 that I played at a friends house. It’s wireless too, which is really nice. I haven’t tried any of the other instruments since I just bought the guitar and game together and not the whole kit. I have to admit I am tempted to buy the drums, but it seems a little over the top unless I plan on having people over to play the instruments together.

I look forward to downloading more songs in the future, which is a really great feature of these games on the next gen consoles. I am still not sure whether the user created songs will turn out to be cool or not, and I haven’t yet experimented with the song creation part of the game myself.
