Guitar Hero World Tour- a great single player or multiplayer game hits the shelves on October 26 in North America, November 7th in the EU and November 12 in Australia is a highly anticipated improvement on previous versions of the game. It is now a full band game. Check out the multiplayer and online aspects. Thanks to Wikipedia, G4 TV and 1UP as sources of the information listed below:

Whats New?

1. In addition to the normal four difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert) for each song and instrument a new “Beginner” level has been added. This difficulty is aimed to allow players with greatly reduced ability to play.

2. Users will be able to use a “Create-a-Rocker” mode, based on the similar “Create-a-Skater” mode in Neversoft’s Tony Hawk series and the advanced character creation scheme from the Tiger Woods PGA Tour series. Players will be able to affect their character’s poise, clothing, tattoos, makeup, and age.

Selected characters from previous Guitar Hero games will also be available as starting templates for creating a rocker.

3. Players will be able to customize their own guitar for the game to a high degree. Drum sets and mikes will also be customizable.

4. In addtion to the game and players own characters, character modes based off famous musicians will be in the game. Hayley Williams, Jimi Hendrix, Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde, Billy Corgan, Sting and Ted Nugent join the line up.

5. New venues in the game will include virtual recreations of real-life arenas, such as Ozzfest, Amoeba Music, Live Nation’s House of Blues, Sunset Strip and San Francisco’s AT&T Park
