this is such a cool game i would play it evry day if i had it but i dont have it so i cant play it every day but if i did have i would play it every day its so cool

the best

this game is far better than rock band! The grafics are good the songs are awesome.I love the battle touch it made carrer mode soo much better for me. The fact that you can download songs is even cooler. Thae only thing i would change is that you should be able to get songs from the first two GH's as well. That would make this game perfect. Online is cool so are the characters. The only thing i dont like about this game is that the cheats are so Long and HARD!!!!!!!!! The Guiter Controller works perfectly the wammy ber on my friends x-box one broke really easily but not on the ps3!!!i like the custimizable face plates as welll. Some of the songs i would not of picked( to gothic for me) but i guess they should appeal to everyones taste (besides hip-hop) but thats okay. Even though everyone says that Through Fire and Flames is the hardest song in the game its not. Download the free boss battles pack and practice the Devil Went to Georgia on expert and you will see what i mean! anyways great gameplay grafics sound and songs overall a 10.0!!!

MORE ADS!

New Features:

Boss Battles.
A big selling point for GH3 was boss battles. There are two (3 if you want a spoiler) and these occur within the first hour or so of the game and are easy and pointless. While it may be cool to have a new piece of music by Slash and Rage Against the Machine Axeman Tom Moreillo, its a very flat experience. You essentially have to "battle" the "bosses" by filling your meter and then activating your star power to "break a string", increase the other players difficulty, force them to play lefty, or something along those lines. While this may sound like a good idea, it has nothing to do with playing the game well and falls flat.

Graphical overhaul.
I suppose this is subjective. There is a pretty big difference between the other games of the series. Where those focused on maintaining a fun atmosphere, this one goes awry. It looks awful.

The songlist.
Great great songlist. Despite the (as usual) overuse of metal, they did manage to put some good variety in there, including a nice blues cut (SRV's Pride and Joy) and some great technical guitar pieces (Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover). It is reported that most of the songs are in fact originals, which IS true, but it should be noted that the cuts that are covers are so incredibly bad that they threaten to destroy the Space/Time Continuum. (La Grange is bad enough to create a miniature black hole).

The Gameplay.
There are two schools of thought here: 1. It's Guitar Hero... it should be HARD, so make it difficult to master and throw any realism out the window, and 2. It's Guitar Hero, it should be easy to pick up and play for the casual gamers. Why is this under gameplay and not a difficulty heading? Because the decision they made affect gameplay drastically. For the first school, they made it so that on expert, you often have to play 3 note chords when there is only a single note being played in the song. This makes it not "feel" right and makes you feel more detached and just a rhythm game instead of any kind of similarity to playing the song at all. For the second school, they increased the window at which notes hit, so that you can be off by a good bit and the note still counts. When you add the two together you get trouble. When playing the game it feels sometimes as if you are missing notes and its giving you credit for things you dont deserve. It's true. It doesn't play as sharply as the others.

The Bottom Line.
If Harmonix had went out of business and this was the resurrected title with no competition, this would still feel like a worse version of the other Guitar Hero's but would be the only game in town. As is, Rock Band is FAR superior, though easier on the guitar sections. This is guitar hero in name only.

I GIVE IT A 8

The Good>>>>The best tracklist of any Guitar Hero game to date Lots of master tracks from the original bands and artists Online play is a fantastic addition Higher difficulty level ensures experienced players won't get bored quickly.

The Bad>>>>Higher difficulty level ensures most people's arms will fall off halfway through the expert career Battle mode and boss battles aren't interesting additions A heavy dose of in-game advertising Some frame-rate issues .

really fun

this is a gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood game and it lives up to its predessors. the wireless guitar is great and it works well but it does need to use a usb adapter because it isnt bluetooth. the song selection is good and hte gameplay is fun with the battles and all. it is also really fun to play online.

i wish it guitars were cheaper so i could get another one but you can actually use the regularrr controllerrrs to play which is cool but awkward.

Even though everyone says that Through Fire and Flames is the hardest song in the game its not. Download the free boss battles pack and practice the Devil Went to Georgia on expert and you will see what i mean! anyways great gameplay grafics sound and songs overall a 10.0!!!

there should be more downloadable content though. theres tons and tons and tons of content for rockband but very very very limited content for this game
