Hands-on Mobile, an important mobile technology company as well as an award-winning developer and publisher of mobile entertainment, announced the availability of its highly-acclaimed Guitar Hero World Tour Mobile on the Android open-source software platform. Since its first launch in November 2008, the game has exceeded 500,000 downloads in the US, for all mobile platforms.

Rock music lovers that have already purchased their Android-based smartphone will now be able to rock their device, as Guitar Hero World Tour Mobile seems to be the perfect training tool for any would-be rock star. True to its franchise, the game offers very cool features that will most likely thrill its fans.

The highlights of the game include the possibility of playing drums or guitar for every song, real-time head-to-head multiplayer with battle powers, chat with your opponent after the game, high-quality audio recordings never before seen in mobile games, leaderboards, avatars, new songs, and much more.
