Guitar Hero: On Tour

Platform: DS

Genre: Music Rhythm

Release Date: June 22

Rock it in your pocket with the first portable version of the groundbreaking music game. Featuring an innovative Guitar Grip attachment and all the gameplay from its console cousins, On Tour delivers a very big sound in a very small package.

Why It's Hot: What's not to like? It's Guitar Hero on the go! The Guitar Grip puts your fingers right on the frets, while the built-in guitar pick stylus lets you strum the touch screen like a real guitar. Most of the game's 25 licensed songs are master tracks, not covers -- and best of all, the thing works.

Why It's Not: What's not to like? Uh, a few things, if you believe the mixed reviews. Some critics feel the Guitar Grip isn't particularly comfy, while other have complained about the sound quality and how the relatively short set list skews too heavily towards popular music rather than rock classics. No one said rock 'n roll was easy.
