There are five venues in Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades and there are five songs in each venue. The game features a new peripheral that fits into the GBA slot on the Nintendo DS. Soundtrack Main article: Setlist in Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades Venues Guitar Hero On Tour is the first handheld version of Guitar Hero, set to release on the Nintendo DS. Additionally, a Decades player can play with another player using On Tour, allowing any song from either setlist to be selected. Both careers will present songs in reverse chronological order, starting with Modern hits and ending with classic rock songs.ĭecades can be played with another player over the DS's local wireless capabilities. The strumming detection has been improved in response to complaints from the first game.ĭecades provides an improved career mode that a player can follow for either lead guitar or bass/rhythm guitar, as well as a "Guitar Duel" career mode. The Grip provides four buttons, and the player "strums" by using a guitar pick-shaped stylus or the players thumb on the touch screen.

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 gameplay in Decades remains primarily unchanged from On Tour. The two-player Duel mode returns, and you can play against any DS version of Guitar Hero, and, using wireless communications, you can transfer songs and play multiplayer on that song-but as far as Vicarious Visions is concerned, you can't keep that song for Quickplay. Before heading into venues, you have to choose the three different storylines in your career path: lead guitar, bass/rhythm, and guitar duels.

In other words, if you start with Hard and complete a song, you'll also be credited with the Easy and Medium difficulty levels of that song as well. The game will also automatically unlock the career difficulty below the one that you're working on. All songs in this game are, like Guitar Hero World Tour, Master Tracks, no covers. For example, for the '00s stage, players play on New Year's Eve in NYC, playing songs by bands like Linkin Park and Jimmy Eat World. The game includes many differences from Guitar Hero: On Tour, such as new venues, songs, and returning characters, Midori and Clive Winston. Career mode features a path through time, offering five songs for each decade.
