The mobile-phone first Guitar Rock Tour shape-shifts to accommodate the new platform and comes to the Nintendo DS. If the original version was fully devoted to the electric guitar, the DS version will also grant players the possibility to rock out to the massive beat of the drums. Unlike the Guitar Hero franchise, Guitar Rock Tour doesn't employ any kind of add-ons and lets the player perform with nothing more than their DS. The correct notes can be hit with the stylus as they slide down the screen, while the drums can be played with either the stylus or the shoulder buttons to hit the notes.
The game offers a nice collection of songs, like Girlfriend, Underclass Hero, In the Shadow, Beat It, Rock You Like a Hurricane or Message in a Bottle. The title was published and developed by Gameloft S.A. and was released in October 28, 2008. It did pretty well with the fans, and the Romanian developer could enjoy the fruits of the labor it put in the making of this rhythm game. The guitar gameplay uses a more realistic, six-chord guitar instead of the far-too-simple, two-chord one. The gameplay is engaging and, as long as one enjoys the soundtrack, it will prove to be a very pleasant experience.
