At this year’s Austin Game Developers conference a few details have been announced by Vicarious Visions design manager, Adrian Earle, on Guitar Hero DS.
The most important of which is the fact that Guitar Hero DS will not use a stylus and will in fact use a new peripheral.
The design has not yet been finalized, but sources were told that we would “absolutely love it."
Adrian also said that the graphical style of Guitar Hero DS would be consistent with the rest of the series.

I believe the original source said that it won't use the touch screen.

After seeing Guitar Freaks at a bowling alley last weekend can I ask why Guitar Hero got so much praise for being innovative? Seems like a completely rip-off to me. Freaks came out in 1998, YEARS before Guitar Hero. Yet Hero won the GDC Excellence in Game Innovation award. I assume it's igorance fueling this like how Halo gets praise from people who have obviously never played any other decent FPS in their life?
