Sting, Tool Setting Up Shop In Guitar Hero World Tour

By Joe Haygood | September 5, 2008

Activision and Neversoft continue to corner the market on artists and their likenesses for the upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour game.  This time around, Sting has given the go ahead to not only put his likeness in the game, but you will be able to use him as a playable character in the vocal tour.  Also, you can play with him in the band’s classic hit, “Demolition Man”, which is to be included in the final release of Guitar Hero World Tour.

Joining Sting will be the band, Tool.  Tool will not only be lending three master tracks to Guitar Hero World Tour, but it will also get a specific arena designed around the themes of the band and their live shows.  “Parabala” and “Schism” from the 2001 “Lateralis” album, while “Vicarious” will come off of the 2006 album, “10,000 Days”.

While I have doubted Guitar Hero World Tour in the past, I have to give credit where it is due, and as of now, Neversoft and Activision are putting together a hell of a counter arguement as to why their game may be better.  I still think it will come down to DLC as to how this game is received, but the star power they are putting into this release will defintely help its chances of becoming top rhythm release this year.  That is unless “Rock Revolution” sells its soul to the devil to come out on top.
