Guitar Hero: On Tour – Modern Hits is a 2009 music rhythm game developed by Vicarious Visions for the Nintendo DS, and the third entry in the handheld On Tour series. Using the Guitar Hero Guitar Grip peripheral, players work through 28 master recordings drawn from modern rock. The central progression system, Fan Request mode, presents a non-linear career structure in which players move between venues in a self-directed order. Rather than simply clearing songs, players fulfill specific fan-issued challenges during performances — such as avoiding note bombs, sustaining streaks of 300 notes, or tackling alternate guitar tracks — to accumulate fans and advance their standing. This task-based approach adds variety to individual song runs, rewarding precision and adaptability beyond straightforward note-matching. The game carries the core mechanics established by its predecessors while tailoring its song selection and challenge structure toward a contemporary rock audience.
