Guitar Hero World Tour builds on the gameplay from previous Guitar Hero games, in which players attempt to simulate the playing of rock music using special guitar-shaped controllers. World Tour
expands beyond the core guitar-based gameplay by introducing the
ability to play drums and sing vocals, and supports the ability for up
to four players to play together in a virtual band through these
different instruments. Successfully hitting notes increases the player’s
or band’s score, as well as increase the “Rock Meter” that represents
the song’s performance. Missed notes are not scored and negatively
affect the Rock Meter. If the Rock Meter drops too low, the song ends
prematurely, with the virtual audience booing the band off stage.
Completing a consecutive series of notes successfully will increase a
scoring multiplier for that player up to 4x. This multiplier is doubled
when the player activates star power. Similar to Rock Band, the
band shares a common score, scoring multiplier and band performance
meter while each player has their own performance metric; the band also
shares the same “Star Power” meter, though any player may activate it at
any time. A player that performs poorly and reduces their performance
meter to zero can still continue to play, but they drain the overall
performance meter for the band, requiring the other players to make up
for this.Successfully completing a
song garners a three to five-star rating based on the accumulated
score, and rewards such as in-game money that can be used to buy new
guitars and outfits for characters.
