Because of the strength of the Guitar Hero franchise, it really isn't hard to understand why Activision wanted to expand the series to the Nintendo DS: just slap a familiar brand on the packaging and you're bound to sell enough numbers to justify its existence, right? But something happened when Activision gave Vicarious Visions the go-ahead to turn the guitar jamming game into a portable product: the team actually took the project seriously. The result is a Nintendo DS version of the series that truly feels like it's a part of the Guitar Hero license and not a cheap cash-in.
