Guitar Hero World Tour – Midnight Launch Universal CityWalk

Posted on October 28th, 2008 in News & Events by cotv

ghwt-launch-3416.jpgGameStop and Universal Studios CityWalk in Hollywood celebrated the midnight release of GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR over the weekend and COIN-OP TV was there to check things out!  The GameStop CityWalk location has been home to many midnight launches including the infamous Nintendo Wii, which contained a line of hundreds of eager fans that wrapped around the entire facility.  The excitement over the weekend wasn’t quite that extensive…

Fans who participated in the midnight Guitar Hero World Tour launch were treated to a large band stage where pretend rockers could strut their stuff to the cheering onlookers in the audience.  Some of the cast from Beverly Hills 90210 were in attendance but long gone once we got there with our team.  We witnessed some stellar performances from the competition and cool prizes were awarded.  Eventually midnight came along and the floodgates to the store were opened, leading to fast sales in the store on the bundle and game only.  We managed to score the last remaining Xbox 360 GH WT bundle and quickly went home to jam all night.  Expect to see more midnight launches to be up at Universal Studios CityWalk featuring big holiday releases!

    I believe the one word to describe it is “ROCK!”

    some aspects of GH WT are better then RB like the note tracking and the DRUMS are way better on GH WT then they are on RB……but the graphics and the interface is very very funky and makes yah kinda pissed off! I’m slowly getting more into the game but it’s like I have to force-feed myself – it is NOT what I was hoping!
