![]() Beating a gig will always open at least one more gig, and usually more than one. Each gig has a handful of songs and usually an encore, and when you choose a gig you have to play through and beat all of the songs in order. You browse through ads and show flyers posted on a wall that show you your available options. This time around, the "chunks" are broken up by gigs. In previous iterations of Guitar Hero, you'd get a handful of songs at a time, be able to play them in whatever order you wanted, and then once you'd beaten them all you'd unlock the next (and more difficult) set. The game's progression has changed this year. It's very cool to see that the teams were capable of working with the band so closely and that they were able to portray the art and mood so well. You don't even see any band members - it's just the pulsing, undulating and flowing artwork and the note highways. The songs are originally played in a Tool-specific venue that blends art and content from some of the band's more recent album work and videos. Fans of the band (including myself) are obviously pleased by this, but what's really worth noting here is that Neversoft worked with the band to create something unique and different than the other content from the game. One pretty interesting bit about the track listing is that Activision and Neversoft managed to sign on Tool to contribute three songs. There are even a couple surprises on there, such as Willie Nelson's live rendition of "On the Road Again", which actually turned out to be one of the most fun tracks on the disc. From Van Halen to Jimi Hendrix to Joe Satriani to Tool, the lineup of included tracks is mighty impressive. If you've been following the game's progress, you'll already know how impressive the set list is. And yes, I'm talking about last year's game, and not even Rock Band 2. However, as much as it's tried, Neversoft (and in part, PS2 port handler Budcat) hasn't been able to catch up to Rock Band quite yet. This scenario clearly sounds an awful lot like Rock Band, and in some ways the game is extremely similar to Harmonix's band simulator. For the first time in the series, the game will offer fans the ability to play the drums and sing as well as rock out on the guitar and bass. And now we have the "true" sequel to Guitar Hero III with Guitar Hero World Tour. ![]()
