  1. Guitar Hero: On Tour – Modern Hits is a great addition to the portable franchise with some significant new gameplay enhancements that really broaden the scope of the gameplay.
  2. Really what you're getting with this latest entry is improved input recognition, better song compression, and 28 new master tracks to jam to while on the go. In other words, it's a tight package you've likely been longing for.
  3. It's a neat idea but it would shine with a greater variety of tracks. [Oct 2009, p.68]
  4. Modern Hits is more of the same uninspired and painful gameplay you've already experienced!

    After buying this game, I'm impressed about nearly everything. The gameplay is sweet, the graphics seem more lively, the career is much more difficult (yet, more fun), and it's overall a great gaming experience. The setlist is pretty good too. Therefore, I rate this a 10. Expand

    When I first heard about this game I was really excited for this, and now that I have it I knew that getting it was worth it. With 28 song�39;s from the last few years, improved strumming, a grip style in which you just put your thumb through the strap which doesn't make your hand cramp, a fan requests system, and improved graphics this is truly a great guitar hero on tour.

    I have been a GH freak for the past few years, I own all the titles on the 360 and LOADS of DLC, and after enjoying the previous two Guitar Hero on tour games on the DS, I think that they have missed the plot here. The entire game on expert is just 3 note chords and weird strumming patterns, with little HOPO being used. I have never cared about graphics I just want a game that is fun to play, and this installment was a major disappointment for me. I have already sold off my copy. Sum it up in one word? Horrible.
