They consists of single tracks, multiple tracks, custom setlists or mystery setlists. Not every venue comes with a set list of tracks. After the initial venues, others need a certain numbers of fans to be unlocked and certain continents only become available when tour buses or private jets are acquired. In the Tour Mode players visit 41 venues in seventeen different cities. Next to the Overdrive sections, there are also Union Phrases (score bonus and extra Overdrive) and sometimes Big Rock Endings at the end of a song where another bonus can be gained. Failed players will however drag down the band's overall performance, so it becomes important to bring back band members. Other band members can revive the player by using their Overdrive. Players who fail during the song are locked out and the audio mix takes over. In band play using Overdrive also increases the band's score multiplier.
The Star Power from the Guitar Hero series has been replaced by Overdrive, a meter filled by not making any mistakes in certain sections of a song. Multipliers for playing perfectly are tracked for the individual instruments and there can also be separate difficulty levels. To succeed, players need to reach a set score through their combined performances. Other customizations include movements on stage, instruments, and the general physique and appearance in the game. Customized characters are automatically locked to an instrument. By doing well players earn cash to customize the characters in the Rock Shop, with tattoos, face paint, clothing and logos. The game offers a Solo Tour Mode for a single player or a Band World Tour (as well as Quick Play) for two to four players. Gameplay is based on hitting scrolling notes on the screen in time (scrolling vertically for drum and guitar), and getting the right pitch for the vocals (scrolling horizontally at the top of the screen, along with the lyrics). Instead of solely playing the guitar along with songs, this game allows players to start a full virtual band with up to four players, with different sequences for each of the three supported peripherals: guitar (electric and bass), drum and microphone. Rock Band, by the original developers behind the Guitar Hero games, takes the concept a step further.
