Guitar Hero World Tour builds on the gameplay from previous Guitar Hero
games, in which players attempt to simulate the playing of rock music
using special guitar-shaped controllers. World Tour expands beyond the
core guitar-based gameplay by introducing the ability to play drums and
sing vocals, and supports the ability for up to four players to play
together in a virtual band through these different instruments.
Successfully hitting notes increases the player's or band's score, as
well as increase the "Rock Meter" that represents the song's
performance. Missed notes are not scored and negatively affect the Rock
Meter. If the Rock Meter drops too low, the song ends prematurely, with
the virtual audience booing the band off stage. Completing a consecutive
series of notes successfully will increase a scoring multiplier for
that player up to 4x. This multiplier is doubled when the player
activates star power. Similar to Rock Band, the band shares a common
score, scoring multiplier and band performance meter while each player
has their own performance metric; the band also shares the same "Star
Power" meter, though any player may activate it at any time. A player
that performs poorly and reduces their performance meter to zero can
still continue to play, but they drain the overall performance meter for
the band, requiring the other players to make up for this.Successfully
completing a song garners a three to five-star rating based on the
accumulated score, and rewards such as in-game money that can be used to
buy new guitars and outfits for characters.
