C’mon, you know you like to play it. Somewhere in your house (perhaps tucked away in the basement or not-so-oft used closet) rests your Guitar Hero III axe, with obvious signs of wear on the first four buttons…expert is hard, yo. You might claim that it is your nephew’s, left behind during the last visit. But we know better, heck, we might have played you online a time or two.

The time has come and you need to be ready to rock. Guitar Hero World Tour comes out this fall (Activision’s website says 10.26.08), and Mackie is all over it. Mackie is, once again, the EXCLUSIVE loudspeaker system for Guitar Hero. We are the ONLY loudspeaker and stage monitor on EVERY stage in EVERY venue.

Not only that, you can also have your character (oh yeah, GHWT has an awesome new “create your rocker” feature) wear a classic Mackie logo tee or even ink him/her up with a sweet “Running Man” tattoo…now that rocks!

Guitar Hero World Tour has greatly expanded, adding a vocal and super-sweet drum controller (with elevated cymbals…awesome).

Use the player below to check out two killer game promos, one of which focuses on the unique new drum controller. We also included footage from a GHIII Tournament that Mackie held during the 2007 NAMM Show. Watch as this young prodigy totally kills “Through the Fire and Flames” on expert, no less. Impressive.
