The Wii version's store is just as easy to use and access as the PS3 and 360 stores, offering individual tracks and trackpacks.
The PS3 and 360 versions offer single tracks, special trackpacks featuring three unique songs, and full albums by individual artists. This allows players to purchase new songs to add to their playlist based on regular updates. World Tour also has a Music Store built into the game on all three versions. You'll still need to enter Friend Codes for each person in your Friends List, which remains a big hassle compared to the username-based system on the PS3 and 360. The Wii isn't known for the smoothness of its online interface, but it should be noted that World Tour does a great job of matching all the online features available on the PS3 and 360 versions. The PS3 version doesn't have any Trophy support, while the 360 version has the full 1000 Achievement points. All of these basic features are available on the PS3, 360, and Wii. Additionally, you can play 2-versus-2 Face-Off's online and the 1-versus-1 Battle Mode from Guitar Hero 3 makes a return. You can also compete against friends in a Face-Off mode, either locally or online. Completing songs in the Career Mode unlocks new tracks for use in Quickplay. You'll have five new difficulty modes to choose from so gamers of all experience should find a level that suits their ability. You'll be able to start a career, by yourself or as a band, progressing through gigs in either guitar, bass, drums, or vocals.
