To stop the major flood of topics and repeat questions on this board, I'm am putting together a small FAQ that will hopefully help new and old members of this board alike.
So onto the FAQs!

Q: What is this game?
A: This game is Activison's first attempt to bring the Guitar Hero Series to a portable system(The Nintendo DS).

Q:How much is this game?
A: $50 USD is the MSRP

Q: How do you play the game?
A: Every copy of Guitar Hero:On Tour (Now referred to as GH:OT) comes with an attachment called the Guitar Grip. It has four fret buttons and it connects to the GBA slot of the DS. You strum on the touch screen to strum in game. Star power is activated by yelling/blowing into the mic or taping the star power gauge on the screen. Guitar Grip picture can be found here: http://ds.ign.com/dor/objects/899093/guitar-hero-ds/images/guitar-hero-on-tour-20080523011401691.html

Q: Four fret buttons? Won't this game be really easy?
A: Not really. They took off the 5th fret because there is no feasible way to slide your hand to it. The difficulty has been adjusted to still be difficult on hard and expert.

Q:What all comes in the box?
A: The game, Guitar Grip, a pick stylus, a sicker sheet, and a Original DS adapter(More on this next).

Q:Does the game work in a DS Phat?
A: Yes! There is an adapter in the box that you simple screw into the guitar grip.

Q: Is there multiplayer?
A: Yes. You can battle your friends on any song in the game in a guitar duel.

Q: Guitar Duel? Is that like battle mode?
Yes, it is similar. You throw power ups at your opponent and try to get them to mess up. There are many power ups, such as hyper speed, putting your foes guitar on fire, and flipping their screens.

Q:How many songs are there total?
A: There are 26 songs in the game total. 25 of them are part of the main set list. "I am not your Gameboy" is unlocked after you beat the guitar duel career mode on any difficulty.

*CONTINUED FROM LAST POST*

Q: Are guitar grips sold separately?
A: At this time, no. They are not. They might be in the future however due to breakage or being lost.

Is this game worth the purchase?
A: This really depends on how fond you are about Guitar Hero and weather or not you are willing to try something new. Most people on these boards have tried and and are fond of it. Just read reviews of the game and watch videos to see if it seems like fun to you.

Nice FAQ. I'd like to add one thing. I remember seeing this question before release, and being a real debated point:

Q: With all this strumming, won't this game murder my touch screen?
A: Other touch-heavy games haven't killed it yet. This one certainly won't, when the game is played according to intended design.

I really hope it does. That was the main purpose I made it...

And that is a good point RPGamerdude. I'll make sure to put that in a future revision. :)

Yay! I contributed!

I feel special. I've contributed to this game already, and we can't even post serious* reviews yet.

*I consider Quick Reviews a joke. Between 400 and 800 words is not enough space to give a full opinion on a game, IMO. I never take Quick Reviews seriously.
