    If you like Rock music you WILL love this.

    Guitar hero. Whenever someone says the name you think of one, a button smashing rythm game or two, Jimi Hendrix.Anyway Guitar hero 3 is basically the same as the previous 2 besides of the Smashing new soundtrack, a few extra character/Venues and the inclusion of Online play.

    Firstly the soundtrack, It has music from the 1960's - 2007. There's Iron maiden, Metallica, Killers, Sex pistols, Guns 'n' roses, Muse and Red hot chili's to name a very few. With over 70+ songs and some free songs off xbox live marketplace this is the biggest soundtrack out of the previous 2. Also is the hardest song on the game which is Through fire and flames by the almighty Dragonforce which is a challenge even on easy!
    Some problems are to do with xbox live, as even on high speed broadband there can be some delay before you play. But if you dont play online/ dont bother with it, this is not a problem. Also Battle mode online can be totally unfair as you can play as easy and beat an Expert easily as it all depends on how many notes you hit.

    There's new characters including the ledgend G'n'R guitarist Slash, The devil manager Lou, The god of rock, and Rage against the machine's Tom morrelo. There is not many new guitars except for slashes, Toms and a few custom made ones. Theres a few new venues including, hell, A prison, A japanese stadium and many small bars and arenas.

    There is a brand new guitar based on the gibson les pauls. It feels alot chunkier and less flimsy then the previous X-plorer and SG. Its all Wireless and you need 2 AA batteries to play. Or you can pay £10 pounds or around 15 dollers for a rechargable pack but its proberly not worth it.


    This game is a great game for guitar hero 2 veterans althought this may be a little too tough for beginners, But theres always time to learn...right?

    It all comes down to this very simple question, Are you willing to pay £70/$100 for a game?... I think so!

      This is the third installment of the Guitar Hero gaming series...It's a pretty good game, though just a bit behind II in the music range but there's enough to make up for it. If you ever played any of the other Guitar Hero games...then this is not too much of a difference other than online play but the soundtrack is still pretty good especially with exclusives like the Halo theme song that will give you both a laugh and also great feel for an addition. It isn't as great as Guitar Hero II's sou...

      I'm going to start this review, by taking you back to pre-release. Guitar Hero fans were going nuts, thought it looked awesome.Well, the day of the release it basically said BOOM and every single copy was sold. Even the ones without a guitar, gone. But, I got a hold of one since one store was smart enough to atleast buy in several without a guitar. So, I was happy with that. But, I couldn't play the game. It wouldn't get past the intro, after the intro it would instantly freeze. Well, I went bac...
