No doubt about it, Guitar Hero is one of the hottest video games around. The title has been released on a variety of consoles, such as PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. The game has spurred a variety of copy-cat titles, such as the upcoming Battle of the Bands for Wii. It was only a matter of time, then, before the popular series reached the handheld Nintendo DS in the form of Guitar Hero: On Tour.

What is Guitar Hero?

Though Guitar Hero is a very popular title, a bit of background information never hurts. The concept behind Guitar Hero is rather simple -- holding a special guitar controller, players hit buttons (instead of strings) and strum along as notes flash across the screen. Those who succeed in hitting the right buttons at the right time can unlock dozens of songs in all, from classic to modern rock hits.
