Personally I think this will be fun, and i most likely will buy it, but only if it works with the original DS and not the lite. I play GH because it's a game to complete, I don't play it like some hardcore peps who sit there day and night, thinking that they are proper guitarists, when all they are doing is hammering 5 buttons on a plastic guitar. Also, to those saying that it has shitty graphics, wooptey freaking doo, its on the DS, not exactly the best graphics in the world, and personally I think the characters look better than phantom hourglass (yeah, I said it, you gonna fight me?). But I don't really care about the graphics, it's the gameplay that counts, so aslong as it plays the same as the old Guitar Heros, minus one fret (which I didn't care for anyway, it was getting too tedious playing hard) , I won't give much of a damn about the graphics. And anyone who says it doesn't simulate a real guitar, wtf are you on about! Guitar Hero 1-3 = 5 Frets, 1 Strum, 1 Wammy and 2 buttons on a plastic guitar, click frets with left hand, play with right (unless your a lefty). GH on Tour = (currently) 4 frets and a strum bar, Click with let hand, play with right.
Anyone see something there? The fact you click frets with a hand and play with the other is basically the main thing in GH, big whoopde doo that it is so small that it doesn't look like a real guiter, the actually controllers for the other games look hardly anything like a real guitar. I'm pretty sure a real guitar has 5 strings, 20 frets, no wammy bar and no start/stop buttons! Plus it's about ten times harder than playing a GH guitar!
