When Guitar Hero World Tour hit shelves in late 2008, it marked a significant evolution in the Guitar Hero franchise. Moving beyond just guitars, this fourth installment introduced drums and vocals, transforming living rooms into full-fledged rock stages. Alongside these instrument expansions, Guitar Hero World Tour boasted an impressive tracklist, allowing players to shred, drum, and sing along to a diverse collection of songs. Moreover, the game innovated with a music studio feature, empowering users to compose and share their own musical creations.
The core of the Guitar Hero World Tour experience was, and remains, its expansive song list. Featuring 86 diverse tracks, the game spanned genres and generations, bringing together iconic artists like Nirvana, Metallica, and Michael Jackson with contemporary acts such as Blink-182 and Rise Against. While downloadable content expanded the library initially, those tracks are no longer available, making the original setlist a definitive collection for fans.
