News: Find out which ones inside.

With Guitar Hero 5 in stores today, Destructoid examined the new game's much touted import/re-download feature for Guitar Hero: World Tour.

After a little experimentation (and paying a $3.50/350 Wii Points/250 Microsoft Points license fee), Destructoid user "Joker's Boner" found out that only 35 of the game's 85 tracks can be imported into Guitar Hero 5. That's a paltry 41% and a far cry from Activision's claim that "a lot" of Guitar Hero: World Tour's songs would be compatible with Guitar Hero 5.

Here is a list of the Guitar Hero: World Tour songs that you can redownload in Guitar Hero 5:
