Full Guitar Hero: World Tour Set List Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the rock-on dept.

Activision finally unveiled the full 86-song track list for Guitar Hero: World Tour, which is set to come out October 26th in the US. The list contains a wide variety of artists, from Creedence Clearwater Revival to Tool to Ted Nugent. Activision also recently acquired FreeStyleGames to "develop new music-based IP," such as DJ Hero. GH:WT's set list shares 13 songs with Rock Band 2, which is due out tomorrow and may get its own reality TV show. Gamespy ranked the RB2 track list by difficulty.

  1. GHWT is the only choice if you have a Wii by Karma+Sucks · · Score: 2, Informative

    RB for Wii is a joke, no online, no DLC. You get it all and much more with GHWT. I don't understand Harmonix's decision to gimp the Wii version of RB. I guess they are big 360 supporters... seems to be a poor choice of platform when the Wii version of GH outsold everything else.

      Rock Band 1 for Wii was a joke and a mistake, I agree. However, it has been strongly implied (if not confirmed) that Rock Band 2 will have both online play and DLC. See for example http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/08/harmonix-rock-b.html or http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/06/rock-band-2-for-wii-wont-skimp-on-features/. Since you should really be comparing GH:WT to RB2, not RB1, it's no longer an obvious choice.

      Of course, I'll still be getting GH:WT for my Wii for a lot of other reasons, including a more complex drumset and these gems from the setlist announcement:
      * At The Drive-In - One Armed Scissor
      * Mars Volta - L'Via L'Viaquez
      * Tool - Parabola
      * Tool - Schism
      * Tool - Vicarious

      I knew Tool would have to show up in one of the games eventually, but I have to say I was very surprised to see both ATDI and The Mars Volta, two of my other favorites.

    They used a bassist in some of the studio recordings.

    These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

    The same thing Guitar Hero is doing with the 512mb of internal memory... use the fucking SD card reader!
