I would consider this game good, unless you have Guitar Hero World Tour.  Most of the songs on this game were put on to GH:WT.

Disregarding that, it is a fun game, like the original, some good songs.  Although I have not made use of it yet, I would like to try the local wireless function that allows songs to be played on both games (this and the original GH:OT).

If a third one is ever made (highly doubtful with the upcoming DSi not having a gameboy slot), I would like to see some wi-fi connectivity, and most of the songs that are in the game exclusive.

well when  you look at a Guitar Hero game you remember and get a mental image of the old softaware you had 2 years ago with the standalone guitar controller and thought nothing would be better untill............the second one came out and them a montage of the games was a flurry on the market much like the so similar game in stores know as Rock Band anyways the game is much like the same with only a few minor fixes and flaws the game turns out the same button mashing and non stop reaction on gameplay this game to me is a waste of buy and sticking with some gears of war 2 lol

gamerznation gives it a (***)out of (*****)

The original Guitar Hero: On Tour got average reviews from critics, getting an average MetaScore of 71/100. But On Tour Decades has made that figure higher, sporting 80/100. So what exactly makes this game better than the original?

Well, there's loads of little things that really make this game awesome. It includes 2 characters from the Guitar Hero franchise that weren't in the last game, there's more songs, more guitars, more outfits, and overall, it's just a better game.

There's loads of songs that everybody would know, some of the better songs include:
"We are the Champions" by Queen
"The Pretender" by the Foo Fighters
"The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World
"Are You Gonna Go My Way" by Lenny Kravitz
"La Bamba" by Los Lobos
"Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor
"You Give Love, A Bad Name" by Bon Jovi
"Any Way you Want It" by Journey
"Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
"All Right Now" by Free

All of these songs are great, and there are a few more that I enjoyed, but not that everybody would enjoy.

Also, some of the songs on this game are BRUTALLY hard! In particular, The Pretender by the Foo Fighters. I can get 5 stars on Hard, but I can't even beat it on Expert! I mean, goddammit. What a difficulty curve!

I still always play as Clive Winston in On Tour, and Izzy Sparks in the console Guitar Heros. They really should add Izzy Sparks and Xavier Stone to the selection if they made a 3rd game in the series. Wow, 3? That would be amazing.

Also, just incase you didn't know, your old Guitar Hero: On Tour grip is compatible with On Tour: Decades, and vice versa. So you save a bit of money there if you don't want to buy 2 grips.

BUY OR NOT TO BUY: On Tour: Decades does everything On Tour did, but improved on it. Buy it.
