So, I just recieved this month's copy of OXM Magazine and the demo disc contained a Guitar Hero: World Tour demo. I played all of the available songs and I have to tell you, if you are just playing the guitar part, this is not that great.
I know that Guitar Hero is trying to up the ante on Rock Band 2, but after seeing both previewed and played at PAX (Penny Arcade Expo), I have to be honest when I say, I like Rock Band better. I think the selection of songs in Rock Band 1 & 2 are better and more varied then Guitar Hero: World Tour. Guitar Hero: World Tour has the same type of songs, with little to no variance in styles. There is more variance in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith than World Tour and that is pretty sad.
The beginner mode is so weak and boring that I immediately switched to easy and when even that was too easy, I went for medium. The songs are unchallenging and repetitious to the core. I would suggest renting this first before buying it.
