Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is terrific. If your wondering what to get your kids for Christmas (and your thinking about getting this) I highly recommend it. It is fun to play, not very difficult on the easy setting. (my 8 year old niece can play it) and very challenging on the other settings. Good variety of songs and Graphics are great. You can all gather around and watch the kiddos play and even give it a try. Fun to be had by all!!

If you had fun with either of the previous Guitar Hero games or Rock Band, you will like this game. This time around their is a little story line to go with the single player mode. You are a guitar player for an up and coming band that hires a new manager that helps you work your way up to superstar status. I'll leave it to you to find out who your manager really is, but the plot twist is devilish. The gameplay is the star of the show as it is great fun playing the songs with the guitar control. The game does get difficult fast as even on the medium setting the game gets difficult for the last set and Hard and Expert setting is for well seasoned players. My biggest gripe comes with the way the achievements were implemented. There is an achievement for beating the game using your opposite hand, and while this isn't that difficult on Easy it's still tedious. There is also an achievement for beating the game on Hard or Expert while just using a standard 360 controller. Considering that the reason this game is fun is because you get to use a simulated guitar this achievement is pretty stupid. The multiplayer achievements are just as dumb. When you team up with a friend to player multiplayer, only player one will get achievements for playing through a mulitplayer career. This means for you both to get the achievement you would have to play the career twice, and add in that their are achievements for both playing the bass and lead that means 4 play throughs. Dumb. But this is still overall a fun game.

The 3rd proper entry in the Guitar Hero franchise (Rocks the 80's doesn't count), GH3 is a game for the fans. The track list is the best yet, and includes a lot of master tracks. The venues are more interesting then ever, though the game’s flow has not changed much, as the career still unfolds in the usual way. However, you will now encounter “Boss Battles” against guitar virtuosos such as Slash, but unfortunately these aren’t much fun. As I said though, the core game is pretty much unchanged from previous entries in the series, so you can still expect a solid, fun game. The new wireless Les Paul controller made for this game is excellent, with a nice strum bar and solid feeling buttons. The main thing I would lodge against GH3 is the extreme nature of the game’s difficulty. Most any practiced player will be able to glide through on the Medium setting, but Expert, and even just the Hard settings are so difficult that only hardcore players will have the patience to get through them. At least now Hammer ons/offs are much easier to do now, and the notes that can be performed with this technique are even highlighted, but despite this, many of GH3’s complicated, dissonant riffs will crush all but the most dedicated players. Still, in the end, GH3 is a great game, and if you like GH, it’s still a no-brainer to pick this one up.

This is a great way to rock out at home and a blast doing it. Some songs are better than other. I wish they would put out some more downloadable tracks, but they do have a variety to get. I consider myself pretty good at this game, but the expert level is beyond me. This is much more fun when you play with someone else whether it be at home or online. Great game!!!

This game is one of the best games ever.It has wonderful graphics and gameplay is great.You are allowed to do lots of things with this game.The multiplayer is one of the best things about this videogame.You also get to pick through lots of characters. The only bad thing is in the start of the game you get the same characters as all the others.The game doesnt have any reported glitches so gameplay is smooth sailing.You also get to pick through lots of new songs. This game is really worth your money if you buy it. I recommend this game to every gamer and to people who are looking for a good challenge. Thanks for reading.

I just about broke my gutair, by rockin on this hopin game! This is a game I just can put down as soon as I start and the graphics are sweet! Expecsialy in HD. The game is the same as it was before as far as controlls but considering everything else, nothing was left unchanged. The songs were amped to the next to the level and the places you go to, and even the guitarists you battle, are soooooo sweet that you just rock the night away. Trust me, this game is something you don't want to live without playing.

This is a great game in a great saga. It has to be the best for graphics and songs. Also when you've beat it the harder levels will feel like a whole new game. Then theres the multiplayer, which is a lot of fun. but not only can you battle and co-op you can also campaign co-op which will unlock new songs otherwise unlockable. You can also download new songs. I would definately recommend this to everyone. Once you own it you'll pick up on how it works and its a great family game.

OK GRAPHICS, ONLY PLAYED TILL I BEAT IT ON EASY MEDIUM AND HARD. FUN TO PLAY WITH FRIENDS. SET LIST COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER. I STILL RECOMMEND IT.

Guitar Hero III has lost little in the transition to new developer Neversoft, as it retains much of the same look and feel as previous entries in the series. It's this adherence to the tried-and-true formula that ensures that fans of the series will have a blast with this title, but it's also the one thing that keeps this game from true greatness. The new battle mode is an interesting addition, but it never gets really fleshed out. Pretty much once you launch an attack on your opponent, there is already little chance of recovery, since the attack sequences generally come by more quickly than the other person can recover, allowing you to just steamroll over them. All in all, it's fun, but not perfect. The song list is one of the best ever, with true classics of rock that are incredibly fun to play and master. While I miss some of the oddities of the previous game's soundtracks, this is overall a very solid setlist. The online multiplayer is a very welcome addition, though the game does not do a very good job of allowing players of different skill levels enjoy playing together, which limits the online pool for most players. One thing that players will notice is that the game is a lot more forgiving in the timing department. There is a larger window in which you can hit the notes than in the previous series, which helps to make the game feel less frustrating. However, any potential decrease in challenge because of this is made up for by the fact that the songs are densely packed with complex strings of notes that require a lot of dexterity. Finally, for players on the 360, it should be noted that this game is no walk in the park for achievement seekers. Unlike Guitar Hero II, the main gameplay and unlocking extras provides little in the way of points. Most of the points come from punishing tasks like playing songs with a standard controller, and playing the entire game with a lefty flip. This wouldn't be so annoying if the rewards for these tasks weren't so small (only 10 points for playing the entire game lefty?).

Guitar Hero 3 is a major improvement over Guitar Hero 2. GH3 makes it interesting for others to watch as the graphics in the background have also improved. The gameplay is smoother and more forgiving to hit notes than Guitar Hero 2, but still pretty hard. The songs are very well done with plenty of downloadable content. Downloads cost too much money though. Very fun game that you should buy.

THE WIRELESS GUITAR WAS A GREAT IDEA FROM GH2 TO GH3. THE GAME IS ALOT OF FUN, BUT THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD MAKE THE GAME 100% BUYING WOULD BE BETTER SONGS, THE SONGS ON THE GAME ARE GREAT, BUT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN OTHER SONGS ON THERE THAT HAVE BETTER SOLOS, BASELINES, AND SO ON... OTHER THEN THAT THIS GAME IS TOTALLY WORTH BUYING I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME

i am a big fan of guitar hero and rock band and gh3 is the best one ever. the songs are great and so are the downloaded ones. it is very fun and when you get hooked onto it youre thinking in the carrer."what songs are next" this is bettar than all of the guitar heros even world tour. i would recommened this to anyone who loves guitar hero.

I like this game and it is amazing but all the songs are great, but the name, I think, contradicts with a few of the songs. Why? Because this game is called "Legends of Rock", how can you be a legend if the song you wrote came out in 2006. I dont know of all the songs that I noticed on there but I think that some other bands were more deserving of the title LEGEND, rather than Tenacious D.

This is by far the best Guitar Hero game out to date! I have played Guitar Hero II and Guitar Hero Aerosmith, and this is the game I always return to if I want to challenge my skills or rock out to some awesome songs. I have been playing this game since December of '07, and to this day I still play it for HOURS at a time! I've grown from mastering the songs on Easy in a matter of days, to being a pro at Hard and still working on the last songs of the Expert difficulty level in less than a year. This game is crazily addictive, and I recommend it to everyone!!!

This game is amazing. I wouldn't be lying if I said that I've played it for over 4 hours straight one night because it was so fun. The difficulty levels are a great thing because you can work your way up to expert and gain the skills you need to play on that level just from practice. The songs are better than Guitar Hero 2, and I actually now have over 10 songs from the game on my iPod because they're so good. None of the songs are boring to play either which is what keeps me going back to the game and playing it.

Guitar Hero III is definitely an enjoyable game in the ongoing series. It features more master tracks instead of covers than previous games. The battles are fun and difficult without making them impossible. The character models and arena's are also far more detailed than before. Not quite as lifelike at Rockband, but more like a cartoon. Expert on this game can be a little rediculous with the difficulty, but the notes have been made a little more forgiving to compensate. The setlist is strong overall, but lacks some of the variety of GH2' songs. If you have the choice between this game and Guitar Hero Aerosmith, get this one.

This is a great game to play by yourself or to play in groups. Nice to have the wireless guitar and not deal with all the cords.

I'll admit, I love the setlist. And the graphics are sensational...well atleast after playing any other GH game. The easier hammer-ons do sorta make the game a little too easy, but the ridiculous number of notes help to even the difficulty out. I got sick of it after maybe 6 enjoyable months, which I guess is a rather long time when it comes down to it. And the guitar is terrible, don't buy it. And after Rock Band came out with every instrument and cheaper DLC, it was a no-brainer on which was superior.

Graphics - 8/10 For what the game is, you are not buying this game to play for the graphics – though Activision was able to make the animations more vibrant, and a more noticeable experience. Sound – 10/10 The track list for this game, along with the original recordings (including the reunited Pistols!) is a must have. You will get lost in involvement when playing this game. This is one of the best soundtracks in a game to date. Gameplay – 9/10 Though under new “ownership”, Activision has taken this game this game down a similar road, but with a new car. With slight improvements in the display hud, the notifications of streaks, and the “star power” activators easier to get, this game is fun. Plain and simple. Replay Value - 10/10 When you see the achievement list, it will make you achievement “gatherers” play this game again and again to get the full 1000/1000. Plus with the addition of online multiplayer, content downloads, and competitive play – it will hard not to play this game over and over. This is a worthy sequel. Overall - 9/10 Able to play this game early, there are a few new tweaks to the actual gameplay, and it feels a bit easier to play (except some of the very final songs), but this game follows the old saying “if it ain’t broke – don’t fix it”. The song list, along with the new guitar, is stellar. With all the original, or master, tracks that are in this game, it is hard not to enjoy this game if you are a fan of rhythm or music games. The new wireless “Gibson” guitar is heavier, more durable, and the closest thing to a real guitar peripheral that I have felt. I must say that this is a nice controller, and I did not want to put it down. I applaud Activision’s attention to detail. I highly recommend this bundle.

the songs in guitar hero 3 are great. the worst part about this game is the difficulty.
