    I got this game for Christmas and after a month it kind of got old. I still love to play it every once in a while, but i know most of the songs.

    The game was fun but I was expecting better. I don't understand how they call it "Legends of Rock" because only a handful of the songs were actual legends of rock songs. It doesn't make any sense. It is fun because its challenging and all the Guitar Hero games were fun, but I don't think it deserves the title, "Legends of Rock."

    Not that good

    At first my kids were absolutely in love with this game. For the first week or so it's all they would do. Now it's just sitting in the corner gathering dust. It quickly loses it's initial appeal and gets to be pretty boring. Half of the songs aren't even that fun to listen to.

    DO NOT BY THIS GAME if you liked GH, GH2, and/or G

    I think I'm pretty qualified to review this game. I fancy myself an accomplished Guitar Hero. I have conquered GH, GH2, and GH 80's on all levels including expert. Please heed my warning: TRY BEFORE YOU BUY. If you have played and enjoyed the previous GH versions, you'll be (at best) disappointed with GH3. The Source of the Problem: Harmonix, the original minds behind GH, are not involved with this latest game in the franchise. And Activison dropped the ball on the programming. The NO fun game engine: While the graphics are the best yet and the song selection is very good, the game-play is awful and does not have nearly the same response as the previous installments. You can hit some notes DEAD ON and all you get is the infamous "plink" sound indicating you missed the note. It was synced with the music very poorly. After several frustrating hours of playing, I could only muster a 21 note streak on MEDIUM. My kids also had the same experience and turned the game off after only a few attempts. The Sound: It's bad. Very mushy. This doesn't help the game play experience and makes it difficult to play along with the music. However, you can adjust some levels to make it tolerable. The Warranty: Of course you can't return it to any known retailer after it's open (exchange only) so I decided to contact Activision. I felt I should make a warranty claim based on the Workmanship clause. I know, that's probably reaching since the only way they could really honor that warranty is the completely rewrite the programming and re-release it. But this game IS THAT BAD and I was desperate to get my GH fix with some new material. Activision blew me off on each and every attempt. They basically said to take it back the store - which they know full well I can't get a refund. So really, the warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on. In a nutshell: If you’ve enjoyed the previous GH installments don't buy it for yourself and don't buy it as a gift if you actually hope the person you give it to will enjoy it - they will not. If you’ve never played GH before, maybe you won’t notice since you don’t have a comparison but it’ll end up on your shelf collecting dust with the other games you grew tired of quickly.
