Guitar Hero World Tour (initially referred to as
Guitar Hero IV or
Guitar Hero IV: World Tour) is a
music video game developed by
Neversoft and published by
RedOctane and
Activision. It is the fourth main entry in the
Guitar Hero series. The game was launched in North America in October 2008 for the
PlayStation 2,
PlayStation 3,
Wii, and
Xbox 360 consoles, and a month later for Europe and Australia. A version of
World Tour for
Microsoft Windows and Apple
Macintosh was later released.
While the game continues to feature the use of a guitar-shaped controller to simulate the playing of
rock music,

Guitar Hero series to feature drum and microphone controllers for percussion and vocal parts, similar in manner to the competing
Rock Band series of games. The game allows users to create new songs through the "Music Studio" mode, which can then be uploaded and shared through a service known as "GHTunes".
World Tour received generally positive reviews with critics responding positively to the quality of the instrument controllers, the customization abilities, and improvements in the game's difficulty compared with the previous
Legends of Rock.
