Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades is a music video game for the Nintendo DS based on the Guitar Hero series and a follow-up to Guitar Hero: On Tour. The game is developed by Vicarious Visions. It was announced at Nintendo's 2008 E3 conference and was released on November 14, 2008 in Europe and November 16, 2008 in North America.
The game uses the DS's local wireless capabilities to lets users share songs between On Tour and On Tour: Decades.
Gameplay
Main article: Gameplay in Guitar Hero: On Tour See also: Gameplay in the Guitar Hero gamesThe gameplay in Decades remains primarily unchanged from On Tour. The core game is a score attack music game, in which the player must attempt the notes of a guitar track of various rock songs. The game uses a "Guitar Grip", either as bundled with the game or from On Tour, that is inserted into the Game Boy Advance slot of a Nintendo DS or DS Lite; the peripheral is incompatible with the Nintendo DSi. The Grip provides four buttons, and the player "strums" by using a guitar pick-shaped stylus on the touch screen. The strumming detection has been improved in response to complaints from the first game.
Decades provides an improved career mode that a player can follow for either lead guitar or rhythm guitar. Both careers will present songs in reverse chronological order, starting with Modern hits and ending with classic rock songs.
Decades can be played with another player over the DS's local wireless capabilities. This functionality can also be used with owners of On Tour; songs from Decades will stream to the unit with On Tour.
Soundtrack
The game's soundtrack is considered "a trek through time" by IGN, featuring sets of five songs out of a total of twenty-eight tracks. Each set focuses on a specific era of rock music, including two called "2000s" and "Modern". Each set has a specialized venue for the era. Several songs were taken from Guitar Hero World Tour (7 from the Guitar Hero World Tour disc, 2 from Guitar Hero World Tour's Music Store). All songs are master recordings as opposed to cover versions.
