Guitar Hero World Tour marked a significant evolution in the popular music video game series when it launched in 2008. Expanding beyond just guitar, this iteration introduced drums and vocals, allowing players to form virtual bands and experience a more complete musical performance. Alongside the instrument controllers, Guitar Hero World Tour also featured a music studio, empowering players to compose and share their own tracks, adding a creative dimension to the rhythm-based gameplay. But at its heart, the game remained a celebration of music, driven by its impressive setlist.
