How to Set Up a Mic for 'Guitar Hero World Tour'

"Guitar Hero World Tour" took the "Guitar Hero" video game franchise in a new direction, allowing the use of multiple instruments for band play, including drums and a microphone for singing. The instruments designed for "Guitar Hero World Tour" act as the console's controllers and are required to play the game. If you want to sing the songs of "Guitar Hero World Tour," you must set up the game's microphone, a task that is very easy and won't take longer than a minute. Setting up the mic is the same for each console.

Things You'll Need

• Controller

Instructions

1. Plug the microphone into the USB port on the console you are using. For the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the input is on the front of the console. On the Nintendo Wii, the USB inputs are on the back.

2. Insert a copy of "Guitar Hero World Tour" into the console and start the game.

3. Power on any controller that isn't assigned to another instrument. This is the controller you will use for the player singing using the mic.

Tips & Warnings

• You're not always required to use the included microphone in order to sing in "Guitar Hero World Tour." In some instances, another USB microphone will work (though this is not guaranteed, and the only sure bet is the official "Guitar Hero" brand microphone).
