Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock - Xbox 360

bigger badder, but not better

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.
