This game is what we would expect after having several amazing Guitar Hero games before it. I only wish that there were more songs available, but the game is solid and extremely addicting. I've often invited some friends over and we all play Guitar Hero together and have a ton of fun. If you are a Guitar Hero fan then you will not be disapointed.
Guitar Hero III

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is the most recent incarnation of the widely accepted guitar simulation game. The graphics in this game are the best in the series and in this game most of the songs are masters of their originals. There is only one problem with this game, the lead singer looks like a retarded gorilla. But other than that the game is very appealing to the eyes. This game includes a wireless guitar, that comes with the bundle pack. Also the guitar has removable faceplates to suit your style. I give this game a 4.75 because of its creativeness and addictiveness.

I'm a large fan of Guitar Hero. It had characters with insane moves and songs that never got old, but when I played the third installment i got a handful of mixed feelings. As for visual presentation it's much improved because it was made for the next gen consoles, however characters are now fixed to a small location. I also found the camera to be a little static. Switching to one fixed location to another, and hardly and movement, giving a bugdet music video vibe. The songs were great. I loved most of the songs there even. This makes the game really and if the line up isnt your cup o tea, then oh well. Its really the redeeming quality. I did like the master tracks, but I'd rather stick to covers because the instruments were also stressed a lot more. Playing the game is easy, hammer ons and pull offs are a snap. The problem is the insanely increased difficulty on hard and expert. Sure, we all could use a challenge, but the point is to mix challenge with fun, not 3 hours of frustration because you can't beat Raining Blood on expert because of the first solo. It seemed the notes were placed there and really fitting the song. Overall, it's fun but I'll stick with Guitar Hero II.
