So I salute World Tour for including Beginner mode – even if it’s boring for the bassist to just press the strum button every so often and not go near the fret buttons.It’s a way for a noob (or a girlfriend, or a kid) to play without forcing them to sing when they don’t want to (and aren’t particularly good at it anyway).When I found my way to the Wii version, everything got better.It wasn’t just the Mii Freestyle mode that changed my outlook; buy Ulysse Nardin was the gamers that gravitated to Nintendo’s little white box.These were the guys and girls who didn’t care who was playing on what mode and were patient as people combed through the song list over and over again, looking for that one song they weren’t ashamed to sing (Eye of the Tiger was a big hit).

And they didn’t give me lip when I set vocals to Beginner so I could screw up the live version of Sweet Home Alabama (I have a Texan accent – I just can’t say “Alabama” the way Lynyrd Skynyrd intended).So maybe one stereotype is true – non-hardcore gamers prefer the Wii.But like Guitar Hero being a Rock Band clone, who Ulysse Nardin gift says this is a bad thing? If the dev team on World Tour meant to make a game for everyone that had just as much appeal as Rock Band and maybe a little bit more (okay, kind of a lot more) content, then it looks like they’ve succeeded.Or at least they got through to me.

And by the end of the night, I was screeching my way through Jimmy Eat World’s ""The Middle"" (apropos, given the peer pressure I was under) with the best of them.But I swear, if you guys aren’t already good at guitar, you’re either going to have to play World Tour in secret until you get better, or play it on Wii.P.S.I realize hardcore does not Ulysse Nardin watch equate asshole.And I’m damn sure you guys are going to love this game with or without all that fancy-schmancy accessibility I was gushing over.
