Guitar Hero World Tour: Standalone Wireless Drum Controller (Wii)

Product Information

Though the game was praised as a reinvention of the Guitar Hero series, the game did not sell as well as Activision expected; due to lowered forecasts, Activision let go of about half of FreeStyleGames' developers. [32] In January 2017, Ubisoft acquired FreeStyleGames from Activision, with unclear consequences for the game. [33] Activision shut down GHTV on December 1, 2018, reducing the available songs from almost 500 to the 42 present on-disc. [34] [35] Guitar Hero 5, the fifth main entry in the series, was confirmed in December 2008. [49] It was released on September 1, 2009, and includes 85 songs from 83 different artists. The game includes new game modes and features, including its 'Party Mode,' which gives players the ability to drop-in and out and change difficulties in the middle of a song. Artists including Johnny Cash, Matt Bellamy, Carlos Santana, Kurt Cobain and Shirley Manson appear as playable characters in the game.
