GH3, the perfect party, rhythm and music game

If you have never heard of Guitar Hero, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, MAN? Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is no doubt, a great addition to Activision's hit Guitar Hero series. This game features many great rock songs from bands including Metallica, Slipknot and Dragonforce. The gameplay is super addictive and if you want to invite people over for a party or just to hang out, Guitar Hero is a great game to play. Everyone likes to show off with it by playing "Through the Fire and Flames" on Expert. And for all beginners, there are practice modes and tutorials in the Training menu. Everything in this game is just great! The guitar, the songs, EVERYTHING! Since the moment I bought this game, I knew it wouldn't be leaving my Playstation 3's disc drive for at least a month. Only one other Guitar Hero game stands in the way of this fantastic rhythm game, an even bette one, Guitar Hero: World Tour!

Guitar Hero?....

I really had high hopes for this game, especially with it being on the PS3, little did i know what i was getting myself into. The game itself is pretty good, the set list was not that great but some songs are pretty good. The game still lags on a LCD tv even when it has a great response time, the guitars lag with interference, the PS3 version seems kind of left out when compared to the X360 version. I would buy it used so you don't spend $99 on something that is flawed.

Guitar Hero III

I believe that Guitar Hero 3 is a very fun and enjoyable game with tons of replay value. If you do not have this game then I suggest getting it right away. Not only are the songs pretty fun to play, but the graphics and sound are simply amazing. Using Guitar Hero's own grading system, I give it a 5/5 stars.

GH III

When the first GH came out, i thought it was amazing. Then GHII came out and I thought i couldnt be beat! But GHIII completely beat in terms of graphics, songs and online!!! Good job RedOctane

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock - PS3

ABSOLUTE DISAPOINTMENT

For me guitar hero is a waste of time and money. Through the whole game you press 5 buttons, but in a different order. It is halfway fun for the first song, and then you get frustrated, and bored. This game gets old in 5 minutes, and even for those that like it, will play nonstop for days then not touch it again unless they have friends over. AND YOU KNOW ITS TRUE!!! For $100, espacially, you get a fun, then in a week, a dust collecting piece of crap. This game is only good for parties, and its still not fun at all.

  • Nov. 27, 2007 Review: Guitar Hero III

    The Guitar Hero franchise has finally arrived on the PS3, but it doesn't quite match that momentous first time you plugged that wired Gibson into your PS2. With a superior version of the game on the Xbox 360, and a potential Hero-killer on the horizon in the form of Rock Band, Guitar Hero III on the PS3 is like catching a sweet second-stage show at a music festival--you'll have fun, but you can't help but think that there's more entertainment to be had elsewhere.
