Stylophone Hero? Guitar Hero World Tour reviewed
Published by Steve Litchfield at 9:39 BST, August 20th 2009
More stylophone, less guitar. Guitar Hero World Tour feels like a re-union of The Flying Pickets for Ewan. With limited graphics and Java-quality MIDI music, and without a plastic accessory in sight, this Ovi Store title is more 'cash in' than 'rockin'. Here's the All About Symbian review.
"There are concessions made to the mobile format, so where the console version had five time lines of musical notes you had to hit, the mobile version has only three. You also don't have to hit a note and a strum bar, just a single key press will suffice. Even with these changes, the mobile phone keypad is not the most ergonomic of devices to play a game like this, and I found myself getting muscle cramps after just two or three songs when playing on my Nokia N95."

Tap Tap Revenge is such a great rythm game.
I really don't see any of the creativity in s60 titles that you see in iphone games.
Nokia should attract some good developers, their installed base is huge.

As for creativity in S60 games, try some of Nokia's first party titles like Reset Generation:

Third party games like this have absolutely no connection to Nokia.
| Nokia should really think about getting iphone devs to port their games like sony and microsoft do. |
Java games run on more headsets, and provide a better return on investment as targeting only S60 devices, that need to be programmed in a primitive C++ dialect (Symbian C++).
Questions though, are the songs in sync with the notes? (as gamelofts was a few seconds out), how many and what songs are on the game?
Looks like Activision is yet again "milking" the guitar hero franchise....but if u want a hand-cramp play the DS Version - 2 songs (if not 1) and you will be crying in pain Literally!.
