It's painfully easy, but a nice inclusion nonetheless. If you select beginner, for any instrument, all you have to do is hit any drum, strum any note, or make any sound when a bar similar to that of the bass pedal or open note bass rolls by. I feel like the gaming community was mislead a bit about GHTunes.īeginner mode is a nice addition. It's a toy you may play around with for a while, no more. After listening to three of these songs, I pretty much wrote the music creator off as a major feature. Others have compared GHTunes songs to cell phone songs, but I'd go so far as to say I've heard greeting cards that sound better. They sound like MIDI music from video games of yore.
I'm not talking about being poorly composed, though, I'm talking about how they sound. To my disappointment, the quality of these songs was quite poor. (Yes, I know that's a bit sad.) I downloaded the top rated user created songs the night we got the game, and checked them each out. Dreams of rocking out to the Transformers theme song filled my head. I was totally excited when I heard about it, as a former music major. This is the one thing that Activision brings to the table that Harmonix does not, so of course, it is important. In the days leading up to Guitar Hero World Tour's launch, much was made of the custom song making mode, GHTunes, and for good reason. Also, actual rockers like Ozzy Osbourne and Billy Corgan show up, which is pretty sweet. If you're a fan of the old Guitar Hero models, don't fret (pun intended): favorites like Axel Steel and Lars Umlaut are available for use. Another nice aspect is the increased options for faces instead of picking a model, you can alter any face with sliders. Guitar Hero World Tour has the advantage over Rock Band here, mainly due to the large number of options available for instruments. The customization options available are indeed deep. It's apples to oranges, in a way, but I prefer the charts that the folks at Harmonix make. Rock Band's note tracks are easier, certainly, but to me they feel more authentic, and less video-gamey, if I can use that term. One thing that annoys me about the difficulty is that many times, notes are plugged in to make it tough, even though they aren't in the music. That's good or bad depending on what you prefer. In general, I've found that the Guitar Hero note charts are more difficult than those of Rock Band.
