The drum gameplay is exactly the same as the guitar, with the aim being to hit the correct coloured pad in time with the corresponding onscreen notes. Guitar Hero’s drum kit is definitely one of the most authentic peripherals you will encounter and is why drumming in World Tour is so rewarding. As soon as you sit behind the drums you will feel like a born-again Tommy Lee. The drums are made up of five velocity-sensitive rubber pads - two of which are raised like cymbals - and a sturdy foot pedal. Most Guitar Hero fans will probably want to check out the new drum kit first, and safe to say they will not be disappointed.

Unfortunately for Harmonix, Guitar Hero has come out of the shadows and World Tour contains a full set of instruments which look as though they've been designed with Rock Band's faults in mind. It was close, but it suffered from a few gameplay and manufacturing faults that would have to be addressed if it was to pry away Guitar Hero's army of existing fans. When Harmonix split from Activision to create Rock Band - a game that would utilise drums, guitars and vocals - it looked as though Guitar Hero would be overshadowed.

Fortunately for gamers this gimmicky plastic guitar would revolutionise the genre and suddenly wannabe rock stars sprang forth in their thousands. Rhythm action games were a fairly niche market at the time and a game bundled with a 'gimmicky plastic' guitar didn't look like it would change this. Nobody could have predicted the success of Guitar Hero when it was released almost three years ago.
