Guitar Hero: On Tour Glitches (DS)

Besides all the sequels the Guitar Hero had for the big consoles, the game also came to the Nintedo DS in the form of Guitar Hero: On Tour. This title aims to offer the same thrill of the rock star, but this time it is a simpler, but portable version. The DS makes use of an attachment that is plugged in through the cartridge slot that enables players to hit the proper color frets that slide across the screen and use the second screen to strum the chords and utilize the whammy bar. The game employs a sideways perspective to deliver the action.

The DS release contains the game modes seen in the other series, like Career, Practice and Freeplay, but also Star Power, and a multiplayer mode for up to two players, via separate systems. It offers 25 songs, pop and rock, from the last few decades.

The game was published by Activision Publishing, Inc. and RedOctane, Inc. and was developed by Vicarious Visions, Inc. It was released on July 22, 2008, earned a PEGI rating of 3 and is a Rhythm game. Guitar Hero: On Tour was received very well by critics and fans alike, and won high marks on reviews.

GLITCHES

Auto-whammy

When you have long notes, instead of whammying many times, strum, whammy, and drag the pick to the top of the screen. Then, keep the pick there and the game will whammy by itself.

Chord with no hands

If an opponent uses the bomb weapon and you play a chord (two or more notes at the same time) that is long and is a bomb note, it will play itself without your fingers on the "frets." You can also push any desired fret while the note is sustained, but, if you strum the guitar, the note will stop and your opponent will get some of his meter back.
