One thing that I have harped on with Guitar Hero: World Tour is that I did not want to have to buy a new drum set to play their game. When the first shots of the drum kit for Guitar Hero: World Tour came out, many people immediately saw what I did - there's an extra pad. This immediately meant that my drum pads from Rock Band would not work with this game.Well, that may not be the case. Today, Activision announced that all the instruments from the first Rock Band will work with Guitar Hero: World Tour. Basically, the drum notes will combine the two cymbals into one, when it detects the Rock Band pads.
Two caviats - first is that this is only confirmed for the 360, PS3 owners are still in the dark on this one, and two is that the Rock Band 2 equipment has not be certified, because it has not come out yet for testing, so it may not work. Time will tell on that one. Still, this news allows me to get more out of Guitar Hero: World Tour when I rent it (yeah, it is still not a buy).
