Guitar Hero: On Tour - The Spoof?

If you thought the video we showed before looked like a spoof, then you haven’t seen anything yet. The new video delves deeper into the usability and game itself… While completely discrediting and making it virtually un-buyable for anyone who has two bits of dignity.

They’ve pretty much focused the marketing of this game towards kids. Which is fine, if you want to alienate a certain market. I have no idea what the marketing team is thinking here. As you watch the video you keep expecting someone to burst on to the screen and yell “GOTCHA!” Sadly, it never comes. They’ve probably done more to hurt this game by advertising it like this, then raise awareness. Let’s hope they don’t manage to blow it with Guitar Hero: World Tour.
