Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits is the third release in the Guitar Hero franchise for the Nintendo DS and it could very well be the best. Along with the modes found in the previous games in the series, it introduces a revamped career mode, which is based on fan requests. This means that the game in many ways ceases to be about cranking through one song after another, although I'm sure you can still do that. This time around, to be successful at the highest level players must earn fan loyalty by taking on challenges. So, in a way that means that it doesn't really matter if you can rock the game at expert level. To me this sounds like a good move on Acti-Blizes part. After all, in order to keep a franchise that was originally developed for the big screens of consoles relevant on the small screen of the DS, changes must be made since visually and audibly it will never match up to those other versions. In addition, some other things to support the possibility of Modern Hits being the best of the DS Guitar Hero bunch include the introduction of two new playable characters, new venues, improved graphics and 'song share' functionality which gives players in multiplayer access to 75+ songs from the On Tour library. Not too shabby.
The game releases June 9. Until then, check out the video below which trots out the features.
