Guitar Hero: World Tour

"The concept is a very good one and the instruments are terrific, but might be problematic for families that want to play all four parts but only have one or two Wii-motes. The issue with the font used on a standard television is also a problem. Counter the problems with the depth of the game, the sound and the fun to be had by players from the young to old and you still have a viable hit. And the music studio, and what it lays the foundation for, is a tremendous benefit. Not only will it tap creative juices but might even teach a thing or two about music, in spite of the fact that they instruments themselves (aside, maybe, from the drums) bear little playable resemblance to real-life counterparts. This game was tested by younger teens, older teens that only played at the expert level, younger and older adults and all enjoyed the experience."

Going beyond the plastic guitar.
