Guitar Hero: On Tour

***Guitar Hero: On Tour*** is a music video game developed by Vicarious Visions and published by RedOctane and Activision. It's the first _Guitar Hero_ game made for a handheld game system.  To play, players use Slot 2 (the bottom loading slot of the DS) to attach a device with red, green, blue, and yellow buttons on it.  The player uses those four keys to play the game.

## Gameplay

The gameplay of _Guitar Hero: On Tour_ is like the other _Guitar Hero_ games where the player strums and hits the fret buttons when the notes appear on the screen.

## Soundtrack

_Guitar Hero: On Tour_ has two track lists. One's for North America, the UK, and Australia, and the other's for non-English speaking countries in Europe. Both have five songs that the other does not have. They both have 26 songs including one bonus track.
