Can you give us some highlights as to which bands and songs will be in the game? How many songs can we expect?
There are more than 20 songs in the game, with the majority being exclusive to Guitar Hero: On Tour. You'll see all different types of music represented, including songs from OK Go and No Doubt. We've done custom note tracking for all the songs and over 80 percent of the songs are original, master recordings.
Is there a multiplayer mode? How does that work?
The game has four different local multiplayer modes. We've got Face-off, Pro Face-Off and Co-operative modes, as well as an all-new Guitar Duel mode for multiplayer. This is a head-to-head competition with a dozen different attack and defense moves that you can use against your opponent.
We really tailored Guitar Duel mode for the DS and the touchscreen. For example, you can set fire to your opponent's guitar and rack up points while they're blowing into their mic to put out the fire.
When does the game come out?
The game will be available this summer in North America, Europe and Australia.
Do you expect this version to expand the Guitar Hero audience in Japan?
We hope so!
Any plans for a PSP version?
Our focus was to create a portable Guitar Hero experience developed specifically for the DS.
Any plans to release any of the new DS tracks back into the "big" console versions of Guitar Hero 3?
We're really focused on delivering exclusive song content for Guitar Hero: On Tour for DS
