Activision is Monitoring Custom Tracks in Guitar Hero: World Tour
In addition to the great new list of songs and new instruments, Guitar Hero World Tour’s music mixing program was highly awaited for game players to explore their inner Mozarts. Custom tracks can be created by using an interface to assign notes for all 3 instruments, it can be saved as playable tracks and then shared online through “GH Tunes”, Activision’s Guitar Hero song sharing service.
Shortly after launch, fans of all gaming genres got to work paying guitar homage to their favorite game tunes. These tracks have become incredibly popular on GH Tunes, storming the top 50 list.
As of yesterday, the game-inspired songs in on the highest rated charts on GH Tunes are:
1. “Cerulean City” from Pokemon
6. “Spark Mandrill” from Mega Man X
11. “Bubble Bobble” from Bubble Bobble
17. “Banjo Rockooie” from Banjo Kazooie
18. “Airman” from Mega Man 2
20. “Electric Chocobo” from Final Fantasy
22. “Still Alive” from Portal
23. “Brimstar” from Metroid
25. “Green Hill Zone” from Sonic the Hedgehog
42. “Farewell Hyrule” from The Legend of Zelda
44. “Doom Win Music” from Doom
When the service first started, remakes of the Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda themes topped the rankings, then were missing from the servers, likely due to Activision enforcing copyright rules for Nintendo. Nintendo and Activision have not yet commented on the deletion of the fan-made songs. Tis could be very bad news.
