By Far The Best GH So Far, Some Drawbacks
In the next great rage in the music gaming industry, there was DDR, Karaoke Revolution and Get On Da Mic just to name a few. Guitar Hero is the newest musical hit that seems to have taken the world by storm selling 5.9 million copies so far. Wanna test out your Rock star skills? Think that you have magic hands and can complete with the world’s greatest guitarists?
Graphics – 4/5
Not enough has changed to from previous GH titles to be amazed, sorta like the Sports games differences between the 07 and 08 games are slight game engine upgrades with roster and stat changes. Though there are some notables I have to report. Crisper details and easier to use menu setup. The game is visually stunning compared to the previous titles. The characters are more textured and the cinema scenes are engaging. Between sets, you are subjected to an animated scene in which you receive an invitation to play at the next venue.
Gameplay - 3/5
I have some bone to pick with the way the controls were setup, mostly with how the tabbing of the songs. I found on Easy mode to have more difficult song tabs then Expert mode, while Expert mode seemed dummied down. Then there’s the battle system to take into account. You go and battle against the greats of the Rock world. Some of them seem too easy even on Expert mode they seem like it’s still on Easy. .There’s single, Career, Co-Op ,two player Co-op, Battle and Online play. Replay value is through the roof.
Soundtrack - 5/5
Let me break it down for ya, there’s 71 playable songs - 46 of which are "main setlist" songs, while the remaining 25 are "bonus tracks." In total, 51 of the game's songs are master recordings (the highest total of any Guitar Hero release).
The soundtrack features such songs as The Rolling Stones' "Paint It, Black", The Smashing Pumpkins' "Cherub Rock", Beastie Boys' "Sabotage", Tenacious D's "The Metal", Weezer's "My Name is Jonas", Muse's "Knights of Cydonia", Kiss' "Rock and Roll All Nite", Alice Cooper's "School's Out", Foghat's "Slow Ride", Metallica's "One", and Heart's "Barracuda."[32] It also features re-recordings of the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the U.K." and Living Colour's "Cult of Personality" specifically for Guitar Hero III, as the original master tracks could not be found.
Downloadable songs are always a plus, but it comes at a price either money (About $6.00 a song) for Playstation or 500 Microsoft points for X-Box. As well as free Battle Trail packs.
Overall, this game hits the mark and just alittle bit above. With awesome classic songs (But there could have been more) even though downloads will expand this, and the graphics on par, only the difficulty level really needed some tweaking.Lire l'avis complet...
Good, not great compared to Rock Band
I recently got both Guitar Hero III and Rock Band... Short story... Rock Band wins, hands down.
Long story... Guitar Hero III does have some stuff I like about it more, as well as different songs than Rock Band. For as cheap as it can be found by bargain shopping, it's worth it. If you were to buy it new in store (IE BestBuy, Target, etc) it would not be worth it, but for $20, hell ya!
Graphics look very cartoony (esp compared to Rockband)
Gameplay is identical besides interface (and other equip in RockBand)
NO Character customization (outside of premade outfits for premade characters)
Don't get me wrong, I loved GHIII until I got spoiled by RB
Im summation... worth "bargain shopping" price, not worth retail price (If you are on a tight budget, this may be the way to go as I just dropped $158 on RB *SE Set* and $55 on GH *Wireless Guitar and Game*)
*On a side note, I like the GHIII Wireless Les Paul controller FAR MORE than RB's Fender (father-in-law likes Fender more due to bigger fingers)Lire l'avis complet...
Prepare to lose track of time
You wouldn't have been wrong to come into Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock with some sense of trepidation. With original Guitar Hero developer Harmonix off the project and Tony Hawk creators Neversoft now on board, it would be fair to wonder if anything that made the wildly popular rhythm game franchise so awesome would be lost in the shuffle. The good news is that Guitar Hero III is Guitar Hero through and through. The core gameplay that fans love hasn't changed outside of some basic tweaks, and the long and varied tracklist is the best of any game in the series to date. If there are any chinks in the armor of this sequel, it's that some of the newer mode additions and a few odd design decisions do more to get in the way of the fun than anything else. Likewise, the extreme difficulty of some of the game's more severe songs might end up turning off newer players. Those issues aside, it's hard to argue with what Guitar Hero III offers from a content perspective, especially if you're a longtime fan of the franchise.Lire l'avis complet...
Guitar Hero 3
"Guitar Hero III"
As you can see this is a part 3 so you know if you liked the first 2 this new one can’t be all that bad, in fact I think it is a vast improvement over the first two. So here’s the low down on Neversoft and Activision's smash hit Guitar Hero III
Overview Guitar Hero III is sort of the Godfather to all rhythm based games despite the two that came before it, with 45 killer tracks on disk and more down loadable tracks then you can fit on your hard drive there is sure to be something for everyone in this game of fast finger skills.
Gameplay - 8.5/10
With Guitar Hero III being the master of game play options such as solo career, lead and bass, and several types of online play the game play here is outstanding to say the least but can get more then frustrating when you make your way to the higher skill levels, so as Hobb's and DJB have told me "practice practice practice".
the one and only down side I can find with the game play is it seems to be a bit too picky with button press timing and will leave you feeling as if you should have had the note and the small fact that no matter how fancy your whammy bar work is it will net you no score or bonus at all.
Graphics - 9/10
Since this game was going for more of a cartoon feel I got to say they did a top notch job here and the only thing that I feel was needed but never made the cut was the ability to make a full on custom character but I guess you can’t have it all, in no way do I feel this took away from the fun of this game so don't let it keep you from giving it a go
Sound - 9.5/10
With a huge pile of tracks and the ability to turn down the rest of the band so you can hear the scream of your guitar loud and clear you know this game has it ware it counts in the sound department and since it is a rhythm based game you know they put in overtime on the sound here.
From time to time when playing split screen co op you may notice the sound of one player over taking the other but it’s not a real problem over all as it’s not a constant thing.
Overall - 8.5/10
I feel this is by far the best guitar game on the market when you exclude the full band style games like GH world tour or Rock Band and is a must have for any Xbox 360 owners collection and if you’re in it for the gamer score you might want to look somewhere else since I found this game to be one of the most challenging games I have ever played.
So what are you waiting for, go get it and get to rocking out now.Lire l'avis complet...
Guitar Hero 3 is FUN, but...
I think GH3 is alot of fun. However I feel there should be a little more depth to this game. I had never played this game until I bought it and I beat it in less then one day (im not a gamer i play video games on average of less than 2 hours a week). I was playing on the easy setting but still I feel there should be twice as many songs. I think there is 40 something, songs available to play however at 2-3 min a song that is really not very much game play at all (like 2.5 hours at the most). It seems that this game would be relatively easy to produce compared to complex games like Halo. With a price tag of $100.00+ this game should have many more songs and maybe some depth to the story line. In addition to more songs it would be cool if the things that you can buy in the store would effect game play, (i.e. if you buy a expensive guitar in the game it would be cool if it gave you advantages, instead of simply being a graphic). All in all I like GH3 but I think it is slightly overpriced for what you get.Lire l'avis complet...
Another jam fest you don't want to miss.
Have you had enough Guitar Hero yet? The sales totaling into the millions and growing every day say you haven't. Activision agrees. In 2007 alone we've already seen Guitar Hero 2 release on Xbox 360 and Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the '80s on PS2, but that hasn't stopped the demand for more. Enter Guitar Hero 3, the first in the franchise made by development studio Neversoft after the former team, Harmonix, was snatched up by MTV Games. You can toss out any fears you might have had about a new developer ruining your favorite franchise right now. Guitar Hero 3 is another great reason to slip into some tight leather pants and rock out with your friends.
For music rhythm games, it often begins and ends with the soundtrack. Guitar Hero 3 has nothing to worry about. From top to bottom, this is easily the best lineup yet. Metallica, The Rolling Stones, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith and more are all in with master recordings no less. Activision even got the Sex Pistols to re-record Anarchy in the UK just for the game. The same goes for Living Colour's Cult of Personality. The songs that were performed by cover bands, as usual, don't live up to the originals but there are less of them than ever before. This time, when you start up a Guns n' Roses track (Welcome to the Jungle), it will be Axl Rose belting out the words to accompany your shredding. And that makes all the difference in the world.Lire l'avis complet...
Much fun, BUT it assumes rock music is evil-based art
Great idea and works well - with Guitar at least. I can't figure out, however, why this AND the "other' rock game seem to think that all who rock want devil-related, overly flamboyant and evil-looking backgrounds and characters. What's wrong with a jean-clad Dave Matthews or RennaisanceFusion Jethro Tull, etc?
As for function, it works great (we only have the guitar(for last year) but plan to get the drums and mic this holiday.Lire l'avis complet...
Good Game...but no Rock Band
The game is fun, but graphics are cartoonish. Game play seems a bit harder then Rock Band so a little more challenging. Rock band out preforms this game even with out the drums, Bass and Mic. This is a great game to pick up cheap (under $20) but not worth spending $50 for. Oh and the Rock Band Guitar is NOT PLAYABLE on this game (yet my Guitar Hero guitar works on my Rock Band). Over all a good game, but if your comparing to Rock Band and your only gonna buy one...buy Rock Band.Lire l'avis complet...
Wanna be Rockers from the 70's & 80's PLAY THIS GAME
Growing up in the late 70's early 80's I used to have aspirations of becoming a rock & roll star. Now I'm in my 40's and I can become that rock & roll star on this game playing all those great songs from that era! This game has all the greats and a few songs that I now wish I listened to back then. The game play is like any other Guitar Hero game but the music is what legends are made of. This game even has some free downloads that give you an extra unexpected bonus. This version also added the boss battles where you get to go head to head against some of the best rock & roll guitarist of all time. Those boss battles are a little more challenging then your standard game and add a lot more value to the game. So if you have Xbox live the bonus content adds to the value of this game.Lire l'avis complet...
High replay ability, even better with 2 players
I have no real complaints about this game. It's fun from start to finish and the guitar battles Vs. Slash & Tom Morello are a nice touch. What's even more fun is if you have a buddy to play with at the same time so you can battle each other. This a great party game as well as just an all around fun game to just kick back and unwind with. It doesn't take alot of skill at video games so you can get the hang of it within just a few minutes even if you have never picked up a game controller. The harder levels offer a significantly bigger challenge. I'd give the game a solid 8.5 0out of 10.Lire l'avis complet...
