Guitar Hero On Tour is the Guitar Hero franchise's first foray onto a (proper) handheld system. For having only four buttons, it works surprisingly well - aside from the carpal tunnel that it comes with. Also, you can't play it on a Nintendo DSi or 3DS, unfortunately, due to it requiring the Guitar Grip it comes with, which goes in the GBA cartridge slot.
Regional Differences#
There are two separate versions of the game, with the former being released for North America, Japan, Korea, and Australia, and the latter for every country in Europe except for the UK and the Netherlands.
