This page is a collection of reviews for Guitar Hero World Tour, developed for the Xbox 360, PS2, PS3 and Wii platforms by Neversoft. In most reviews, the inevitable comparisons to Rock Band are made, with Harmonix's title winning out when it comes to song selection and downloadable content. Guitar Hero, on the other hand, surpasses its competitor as far as gameplay and controller innovations are concerned.Game Informer: Guitar Hero World Tour Review 1up.com: Guitar Hero World Tour Review (October 26, 2008)

Guitar Hero World Tour Review Quotes
- Guitar Hero delivers exactly the things I want out of a rhythm game: great peripherals and fun-to-play music. It's not perfect, but I have a great time whenever I turn it on -- and that's what's most important.-Justin Haywald, 1up.com
- The drum set takes a while to get used to, setting up an online match is complicated and there are several repeat tracks from Rock Band 2. However, the gameplay is satisfying, the Music Studio is a wondrous addition, the song list is sweet and the presentation isn't bad. -Robert Workman, GameDaily
- As much as it's tried, Neversoft hasn't been able to catch up to Rock Band quite yet. And yes, I'm talking about last year's game, and not even Rock Band 2. - Chris Roper, IGN
