I was quite stoked when I finally opened my Guitar Hero World Tour Guitar Bundle. Finally, I’ll be able to play guitars again after my Rock Band guitar conked out.

I have to say that Activision did a relatively good job with the new Guitar Hero Guitar. The guitar feels sturdier and looks very “adult”. You won’t feel like an idiot if you’re seen playing this baby. The face plate of the guitar is interchangeable so those who want a snazzier guitar can actually buy new faceplates for it.

I love the new touch-sensitive strip that has been incorporated as a new gameplay element. When you see a series of notes that are interconnected by a purple “rope” you can slide your hands on the strip to create a slide-guitar sound. I think it’s a fresh take on guitar gameplay that adds a new challenging dimension. I’m actually still getting used to this new style.

One of the best things about the guitar is that it is compatible with Rock Band and Rock Band 2, so I’m fairly covered already as far as guitars go.
