You might not be a rock star with guitar skills that will make Carlos Santana blush, but when you play Guitar Hero you kick some serious ass. Unfortunately, unless you invite all your friends over for an at-home concert, your playing skills probably won't be seen by anyone other than your mom and your dog. That is, until now. Thanks to the upcoming Guitar Hero: On Tour, you can challenge your friends to a Guitar Hero face-off anytime, anywhere.

All you need is a Nintendo DS and the game, and you're good to go. If you don't already have a DS, but really want to take your skills On Tour, then you can opt for a limited-edition bundle. For the first time, handheld gamers will have the freedom to unleash their inner rock star anywhere, anytime with Activision, Inc.'s upcoming Guitar Hero(R): On Tour for Nintendo DS(TM). The game delivers a unique Guitar Hero(R) experience by challenging handheld gamers to rock out and prove their shredding skills on the most diverse set list of master tracks ever offered in a Guitar Hero game, including classic rock, alternative and pop favorites such as Nirvana, OK Go and No Doubt.

The game will be packaged with a revolutionary Guitar Hero(TM) Guitar Grip(TM) peripheral that fits snugly into the DS and a unique Guitar Hero pick-stylus that brings a new dimension to handheld gaming and the core gameplay that defines Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero: On Tour has been designed specifically for the DS platform and will offer the DS audience an all-new compelling music experience.

A new Nintendo DS bundle lets aspiring axe shredders claim that coveted status right from day one. The new Silver/Black Nintendo DS branded with the Guitar Hero logo will be available exclusively as part of a limited-time bundle with Guitar Hero: On Tour. The bundle, which will allow two players to alternate game play, is set to be released on June 22, 2008.
