Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

THE GOOD:
Amazing hammer-ons and pull-offs.
Wireless guitar controller included.
Great song list.
Replay value is high.

THE BAD:
Nothing really.

SUMMARY:
With the Guitar Hero series more popular than ever, Guitar Hero III has a lot to live up too. Its predecessor's have grabbed many a people's attention, and it will not let go. Can GH3 keep the hype alive?

Something that Red Octane has been good about is song selection. This time around, they have brought a better group of songs than ever seen before. A lot more of them, too. You can play many hits such as, The Devil Went Down to Georgia, Slow Ride, School's Out, Mississippi Queen, and many more. The set list is stacked with many songs, as well as the bonus songs list. To unlock the bonus songs, you must complete career mode, and purchase them through the in game store with your earnings from career mode. There is also Downloadable Content (DLC) which you can purchase...

Guitar Hero III is the sequel to the best-selling game for the PS2 and Xbox 360. It features some of the most unique - and yes, best - gameplay of any game on any console, even going as far as to have it's own controller. However, with Harmonix no longer working on the GH series, did Neversoft manage to let the newest addition live up to the Guitar Hero name? Are the songs catchy enough for GHII veterans to fork out the cash to buy it, and for those looking to be introduced to the GH world, is it worth it to pick up this as opposed to GHII? The answers to these questions and more will be answered inside.

(The gameplay is somewhat hard to explain, but I'm going to do my best. If it isn't sufficient, just look up "Guitar Hero III" on Youtube and look at some videos, combined with the controls listed in this section. You'll get a pretty good idea what the concept is doing this.)

The way it works is notes come sliding down the fret board towards you, and at the end...

THE GOOD:
-Amazing soundtrack
-Over 50% of career songs are master tracks, and over 70% in the total set-list are master tracks
-Replayability level is very high
-Online play, no lag on online play
-Graphics are smooth and crisp
-More difficult
-New modes in multi-player, and co-op career

SUMMARY:
I will tell you right off the bat- I never thought I would give a game a perfect 5/5, but this game was perfect in every way. From the soundtrack to the game-play, I was enjoying myself from start to finish. If you are a Guitar Hero fanatic, interested in Guitar, or are just looking for the game to start you off in the Guitar Hero series- this game will start you off. Here's a detailed breakdown of the game:

Gameplay: 10/10

The gameplay has improved dramatically from the previous three games. The Guitar itself feels so much smoother to use, and the notes are much easier to hit. The hammer-on and pull-off timing...
