Product Description
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock boss battles give fans a chance to compete against legendary guitarists such as Slash and Tom Morello. Players are required to deplete the boss' Rock Meter before the boss goes into their Death Drain solo, which always means 'lights-out.' After defeating a boss, players unlock that guitarist as a playable character and continue to the encore for the set list, which is a master recording of one of their respective bands' most well-known tracks. for instance, When Morello is defeated, the next performance is "Bulls on Parade," during which Morello performs on stage alongside the player.Guitar Hero 3 Features:Slash?s Original Boss Battle Recording Welcome to The Jungle (by Guns N?

 Brilliant December 14, 2007

A warning for people buying the game, the sound is only in mono on this game at the moment, but unless you're desperate to use surround sound, don't let that stop you buying this game. In about a months time you'll be able to have a replacement disc sent to you free of charge anyway, with re-mastered sound. So since the problem will be sorted I've given this game 5 stars because it has kept the brilliant guitar hero game play and added online functionality, and it's so much fun. I'm not too fussed about the new boss battles, I just found them a little annoying to be honest, but having played the first and second game already I've found this game to be even more challenging. I think this is great, obviously it means that less people will be able to complete the game, but it's still easy enough to get into and unlock all the songs. There really isn't any other game experience like this at the moment, I couldn't recommend this game more.

Got this for Christmas and have not been off it since! There is a near perfect learning curve and the game is so much for groups and on your own over the net. The fact that you have to put the WII remote into the controller is a great addition. Online mutliplayer is also really good, and competitive!

Having never played a Guitar Hero game before, I was initially a bit worried that this game would be too hard (going by some of the YouTube videos of people playing songs on Expert).
It wasn't until I started playing, first by going through the tutorials and then Career Mode on Easy, that I realised that it is actually fairly easy to pick up and play. Easy mode only requires you to play using 3 out of the 5 fret buttons.
Things do get gradually harder as you progress through the game but in no time at all you'll be rocking out and hitting most of the notes. Once you've mastered Easy, you can move on to Medium (4 out of 5 fret buttons) where things start to get a little tricky and eventually on to Hard (all 5 fret buttons) and Expert.
The guitar controller is simply a thing of beauty and really puts you in a rocking frame of mind. The Wii-mote fits snugly into the guitar and adds rumbles and missed note squeaks for added authenticity. Once you start hitting most of your notes, you'll be able to activate Star Power by pulling a true Rock Star guitar pose. Very satisfying!
With 70 songs to play from a whole host of eras (most of them unlockable in Easy mode) and excellent multiplayer/online options, this game will keep you entertained for a very long time to come as you strive to become a Legend of Rock.
Be excellent to each other & party on dudes!
Amazing Game December 17, 2007

It's a brilliant game, online play is fun, and the single player is brilliant too. A lot of multiplayer fun to be had, if you want to buy a second guitar, but even simply with the Wii-mote, is brilliant. The variety of songs, and the ranging difficulty is immense, and the videos included are a nice bonus. A must have for any rock music fan, or anyone willing to be challenged. Just beware of becoming too addicted.

A few weeks ago someone brought the game "Rock Band" to work on their 360 and we all had a great time bashing away rather badly at the songs on offer; nothing motivates you to try hard like letting your buddies down! Back at home though I only have a Wii so opted to get Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, partly to practice so that I'll be on form for next time we get to rock out at work, and partly because it was just good fun!
So, in the box you get the game itself, and the wireless guitar controller. This is in contrast to some other consoles where the guitars have to be plugged in with a wire. At first it takes a little getting used to as you still have to go through the startup menu before getting into the game, and as your Wiimote is now nestled in the guitar you have to use a different set of controls, mounted on the guitar faceplate itself. Once you get the hang of it though it's quite easy, and in no time at all you'll be rockin' away!
So on to the game itself. I went through all of the tutorials and here I think they could have done a tiny bit better; the tutorials themselves are helpful (and at times comical) but if you need to repeat a lesson there's no option to skip through the talk-y bits and get straight on to the practice bits. Other than that though, very good.
Next on to career mode, again interspersed with fun scenes that chart the rise of your career. You can also customize your rocker with different outfits, guitars, etc in the store, but so far as I can tell these are purely cosmetic rather than affecting gameplay. A neat feature is that you can buy additional songs though, and I'm hoping we'll be able to access new downloadable tracks from the Wii store as PS3 and 360 players can do already.
The game itself is fairly well known; hold down the fret keys and strum in time with the music. What makes it so much fun though is that even on easy mode it's a challenge and they've got the balancing absolutely perfect. What's funny is that when you first start (even on easy) there'll be bits of songs that you'll think to yourself are absolutely impossible. A few hours of practice later though, and your fingers will be moving for you with your brain totally disconnected. This is a game you absolutely must try playing at a friend's house if you're in any way sceptical, it is great fun.
A couple of tips; at first you'll find it very difficult to do anything other than stare at the screen intently. Remember to blink! I got very sore eyes playing this the first couple of times. You'll also find that even minor distractions around you can throw you off, but this will improve in time. One thing that is slightly tricky is activating "Star Power" on the Wii; basically sometimes there'll be starred notes in a sequence. Hit them all on time and you'll get power added to your star meter. Once you have enough of this you violently tilt your guitar upwards to activate "Star Power" which doubles your score for a short period. Thing is though, it's pretty difficult to fling your guitar skywards in the middle of a tune without losing your rhythm, which means you lose accuracy and score multiplier anyway. Fortunately there is an alternative; just hit the "minus / -" key just below the strum bar. If you can get in the habit of doing that you might have more luck.
I have yet to try this out in multiplayer so can't really comment but if it's anywhere as good as Rock Band was then it should be great! Enjoy!
