Product Description
When the house lights go down this summer, a new generation of guitarists, drummers and fearless frontmen will come together on their computers and rock with Guitar Hero® World Tour. The latest installment of the top-selling video game franchise, Guitar Hero World Tour transforms music gaming by expanding Guitar Hero’s signature guitar gameplay into a cooperative band experience that combines the most advanced wireless controllers with new revolutionary onlin… More >>
First off, I still couldn’t believe I got Guitar Hero World Tour for my PC even though there is NO MENTION of this game on the Aspyr Web Site. It’s like, does this thing REALLY exist? Well, I just got my copy yesterday from Amazon so it must. No problems installing it … game started fine.
Cranked up the resolution to 1920×1080 (nice) on my LCD TV and turned on my wireless XBOX360 guitars (it connected fine). I don’t have drums, but I did connect a USB Microphone in and it detected that. There did seem to be some sort of glitch in the menu system, as the game kept saying that your data will be overwritten and was covering all the menu choices! eventually i had to quit the game and then relaunch.
Game worked fine. However a few complaints. I have two XBOX360 controllers and two XBOX360 Wireless Guitars. I started my XBOX360 Guitar as Player one and one of my controllers as Player Two. However, the game only recognized my guitar as Player Two and had Player One as the Keyboard/USB Mic. Problem with this is that the Vocals cannot use an XBOX360 Controller for navigation — only the keyboard (unlike the console counterpart).
Graphics looked great — but no PC graphic settings for controlling Anti-Aliasing and stuff like that — just resolution. So a kick-ass video card won’t do much here (but you do need a decent one though).
I hadn’t played too much of the game yet, but I really want to try out the drums.
I tried going on-line and ran into one problem. When entering the License Code, you MUST enter the dashes “-” in between each set of numbers or the on-line connection will fail.
Also, don’t even bother trying to register this game on the Aspyr Website since it THERE IS NO MENTION OF THIS GAME.
I really hope Aspyr gives some PC support soon — I sense I still may run into other issues.

I gave 1 stars because although I do love guitar hero, and I have been waiting forever to get this game, it just doesn’t cut it. I don’t own a consol, and have been left with guitar hero three for a few years with no updates! No downloadable content ever on GH3, which was supposed to happen but never did…
Ok, so I installed GH World tour. After the install, my GH3 guitars worked fine, so that is good. I am running the game on a 2.7GHZ dual core AMD, 3GB ram, Nvidia 9600GT computer. It ran fine, but I decided to try turning the graphics down to ‘low’ from the default ‘high’. It says you need to restart game application/game before the settings take place. I restarted the game, however, it wouldn’t start… Over and over, no start now. Chaging the settings in game messed it up. I am currently re-installing. As far as I could tell, nobody was online for multiplayer, I couldn’t get a match. Single player was ok, and graphics are good. Need a good PC, as good as the one I listed, or you will probably lag.
I am also having problems with the drums connecting, we’ll see how that goes after re-installing(if the game even starts). Hopefully there will be downloadable content – I haven’t seen it in the menus and am worried you can’t download songs, which would suck, just like in GH3… another dissapointment.
The price also leaves much to be desired. The premium $50+ price tag is usually assigned to “NEW” games. Sure this game is ‘new’ to the PC, however, it has been out for over a year on all the consols. And their prices have dropped from $50+ to under $20 for this game, yet the PC version is going for $50 still, when it is over a year late to be released, just rediculuous! Horrible development, horrible lies about release dates, just horrible companies all together.
Loved GH3, and I will try to like GH World Tour.. In the future I will probably never purchase another item from the people who made Guitar Hero, just not worth the hassle and poor products.
Game won’t start – re-installed, game started up once. After closing it, it won’t start up again, just get errors upon loading. It seems to start correctly once after an install, then no more.
Drum set won’t connect, couldn’t play dumbs as they weren’t recognized(PS3 drums should be compatible…)
Really dissapointed…
***UPDATE*** GAME WILL PLAY CORRECTLY NOW FOR ME WITH GUITARS ONLY. IF DRUMS ARE CONNECTED THE GAME WILL GET AN ERROR AND QUIT UPON STARTING. I CALLED SUPPORT AND THEY REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, ASKING ME, “THIS IS FOR GH3?”… NO, DUH, GH3 DOESN’T HAVE DRUMS….. FINALLY THEY GAVE ME A BS UPDATE PROGRAM(TO UPDATE GAMES) AND SAID IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM… DIDN’T FIX ANYTHING, AS THERE ARE NO UPDATES AVAILABLE IN THE PROGRAM THEY GAVE ME… HORRIBLE!
