They are usually fixed with proper calibration tho! CRTs had virtually no lag, so during GH3 & GHWT days, you could probably get by without calibration, but today’s HDTVs have major lag issues.

I’ve seen newbies not get into it, simply because they didn’t know how to or what calibration even is.

So you might need to mod the guitar for optimal experience.Īlso, no matter what route you take, make sure you calibrate. The usual problem IMO is with the strum bar, but there’s a guy making Strum Fix Plus which is a decent replacement, kind of like an hybrid between the vanilla fender strummer and a GH Strum (not as clicky tho). Facebook marketplace sometimes has people sell instruments for $50 to $150, which are your best bet, but second hand is always a risk.

GH Live was fun and interesting, but it wasn’t a success and Activision killed it. Also, clone hero lacks in presentation, there’s something magical about seeing avatars play. If you just want to dip your feet, it’s probably your best choice. It can get pricey if you get really into it.Ĭlone Hero is a legitimate answer, since it’s the “dream” game in that you can create your library, but Clone Hero falls into piracy territory in my eyes, so YMMV. Some of the songs you mentioned are available as DLC ($2 each). The window to hit the notes is stricter than GH, so there’s a curve, but it’s great. However, you cannot export the older games anymore, because of licensing. RB4 is the latest release and it still is being supported with weekly DLC. There’s some misinformation in the thread here: There's a PC mod/customs scene for those games as well. Aside from Clone Hero, disc copies of Guitar Hero III and World Tour periodically show up on sale on ebay, sometimes bundled with the Xplorer guitar. Some older PS3 instruments will also work provided you have the dongles for them.Īs others have mentioned, if you also game on PC, a lot more options open up to you. Also, instruments for RB4 are hard to find and usually pricey, at least on ebay. Though there are many songs available, a lot of older songs and Rock Band disc export licenses expired, so if your favorites were among those, you're out of luck.

Rock Band 4 would be the closest to GHWT and is still actively supported. Also, the "Live" portion of the game shut down some time ago, so you'd be limited to what songs were on the disc. Guitar Hero Live changes up the gameplay and button layout from what you were used to. If you wanted something close to Guitar Hero World Tour on PS5, your options are limited to Rock Band 4 and Guitar Hero Live via backwards compatibility as those were the only titles to make it to PS4.
