Amazon.co.uk Review
The game that killed the air guitar is back with the first in the series not to be developed by Guitar Hero creators Harmonix (they've been bought by MTV to make Rock Band). With Tony Hawk's developer Neversoft taking over the basics are nevertheless still the same as you use the series' signature guitar shaped controller to play along to a greatest hits line-up of rock classics. The new wireless controllers for this version are based on a Gibson Les Paul (or a Kramer for the PS2 version) and even have customisable faceplates and a removable neck for easy storage.
The gameplay seems simple enough at first, as a cursor highlights which of the five fret buttons to press at one time. All you have to do then is press the right one and strum along on the flipper. Which of course sounds incredibly easy, until you're trying to keep up with Rock you like a Hurricane as the virtual crowd bays for your blood.
New for this sequel is an extra multiplayer mode called Battle where you play against another player and try to put him off with special attacks like breaking their strings or overloading their amp. Naturally the graphics are all new, including new characters (plus Slash as an end of level boss) and venues but the most important feature is simply the soundtrack. Over 70 songs are featured, half of them originals, with everyone from Queens of the Stone Age to Smashing Pumpkins to Metallica and Slayer. In short: the game rocks.

Manufacturer's Description
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock continues to build on Guitar Hero's successful easy to play, but difficult to master gameplay mechanic to take the franchise to a whole new level. With master tracks from legendary bands like Sex Pistols, Guns N Roses, Rolling Stones, Metallica, and Pearl Jam, along with original music composed specifically for the game by iconic guitarists Slash and Tom Morello, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock sports the greatest soundtrack to ever find its way into a videogame. Vastly improved graphics immerse gamers into their rock arenas and heighten their visual experience while the new wireless Gibson guitar controllers allow the players to channel their inner guitar gods. The arcade-inspired battle mode, expanded co-op career and boss battles add depth and extend gameplay for countless hours of shred time.

the product description doesnt mention whether it comes with a wireless guitar controller ... any1 hu has bought this product, can u plz tell me if it dus come with a wireless controller
Oh dear what a shame
Was SOOO looking forward to this game after loving versions 1&2, but very disappointed, the others were much "easier" to play, taking some practice but having great fun along the way, this version however has a much less fun attitude and where as on v1&2 I'd get 100 - 200 notwe run streaks on medium, on this version I find it hard to get 10 notes in a row on easy! Spoilt it for me and will be selling it on ebay or amazon again soon. I am only a middle aged guy having fun I don't have the time or patience to play for weeks on end to get average. Will be looking forward to Rock Band by the original creators
Still a good game but different
As the title suggests I find that GH3 is still really fun compared to GH2 but it has a completely different feel to it. This I beleive is due to the fact that the game was made by different people thois time around but they still done a good job.
Plus Sides include:-
-Higher difficulty (only good if you started to find GH2 a bit easy)
-Cleaner graphics
-More popular songs
Down sides include:-
-Graphics still aint that great
-More of the previously unknown songs are pishy
-Different feel from older versions
-Coop mode is pointless
Still love the game though
