Guitar Hero: On Tour for the DS has on the outside all the makings of a great port. The touch screen is ready to handle constant hammerfication with the assistance of a pack in pick stylus while the innovative Guitar Grip appears to nicely replace the frets on the guitar remote for the console version. Sit back and listen to my Nintendo DS Game Reviews.

On the inside the game is riddled with enough glitchyness to make a hardcore Guitar Hero veteran throw the DS across the room in frustration (because cleaning up hundreds of tiny plastic shards and buying a new DS isn’t frustrating?).

The glitchyness I speak of runs throughout virtually every aspect of the game. For one, the DS’ touch screen doesn’t have the capability to keep up with the stylus’ strumming. When you play the game on expert mode it is literally impossible to hit all the notes correctly (trust me, this is by no fault of my own). Next, the DS is so insanely difficult to hold in a comfortable way while playing this game, you may as well be trying to squeeze a hamster in the just the right way to turn it into a unicorn. Seriously, the only way I could find to play the game comfortably was to lay on my back and prop the DS against my chest. Next, the Guitar Grip which I found so cool at first, has a nice way of wiggling out of place mid-song. Of course, when that happens, you’re prompted with a nice little message that the system needs to be restarted. Yes. Restarted.
