Customer Reviews

Highly Addictive
I bought this game for my partner's birthday as he had been wanting it for a while. We had never played any of the previous guitar hero games so werenot totally sure what to expect. We were definately pleasantly surprised as it is great fun. The wireless guitar is definately a plus, the songs on there are great. The guitar battles are great fun especially when you are actually playing against someone in the co-op mode.

Well worth buying!

Guitar Hero III - Legends Of Rock
This is coming from a person who only played Guitar Hero I, but after picking up a copy of GHIII, I was suprised. Straight of the bat, the wireless guitar makes a lot of difference, being lighter, easier to move around, and the weight sensor is more responsive so you only have to tilt the guitar around 25 degrees (although this may be an annoyance to some).

The visuals on the game are great as far as I am concerned. A couple of mates have had a whine at the lack of variety of audience members, but that's a unnecessary part of the game and I think that it's fine how it is.

A lot of VERY good tracks on this game (personal preference aside). I picked this game up and started playing on Expert straight off the bat, and the fretting relates well to the songs, although there are a couple of times where you will get annoyed (especially on Expert) with some particular songs. For me, I was stuck for a while on 'Before I Forget', 'Cult of Personality', and worst of all 'Raining Blood'... Practice mode is a fine addition which allows you to fine tune particular areas of each song at various speeds. But I still hate 'Raining Blood'. :P

Some maybe annoyed that the co-op mode is only available in career, but it's not a major problem for me. A fantastic game overall. It just depends if you're willing to pay the money!

Guitar faulty
Guitar Hero 3 is a brilliant game. Not as good as Rock Band but a great game. Beware though there is a major design fault with the guitar. After a while the two piece guitar will become loose. You'll notice when you keep missing notes that you know you're hitting perfect. Wiggle the neck and you'll start hitting them again. You can find help on the net to fix the problem, mainly by taking the neck of the guitar apart. I found a piece of cardboard jammed in the the neck also works. Everyone I know has this problem. It becomes more noticable when you go from medium to hard. From what I can tell the wii version doesn't have this problem due to the guitar being one piece.
Such a shame an awesome game is spoiled by the designers trying to be clever with a two piece guitar :(
