Activision has officially announced Guitar Hero Modern Hits, the next GH game for Nintendo's DS. It's also officially doled out some official screens for your official enjoyment.
Yes, we know, the phrase 'modern hits' makes SPOnG suspicious, too. The announcement pegs the artists Coldplay, Fall Out Boy, Tenacious D, Weezer and The Strokes as contributors to the track list, which will comprise upwards of 25 songs.
They join Sum 41's Still Waiting, Franz Ferdinand's The Fallen and Finger Eleven's Paralyzer - tracks already revealed by the game's ESRB rating. (Yes, this has been one leaky game. It's existence was suggested even before the ESRB listing thanks to a trademark listing.)
The game will also feature a 'Fan Request' system. Activision describes it like this: "By completing Fan Requests players build their fan base and open up new challenges to rock-out like never before including jamming to an entire song in Hyperspeed, battling it out in a Guitar Duel with active Bomb Notes or whammying every single hold note in a song."
There's also mention of "exciting non-linear gameplay progression". So what does that mean? It means players can choose how they get from the garage to the stadium on their road to becoming rock gods. Clearer now? We thought not.
The game will enable players to wirelessly make use of tracks from the two previous Guitar Hero DS games, On Tour and Decades. Also on the connectivity front - expect multi-player modes.
