Wireless guitar is great   06/22/2008
By SIRBGMX from Cincinnati, OH

Pros: no wires
Cons: none

"I already wrote a review for the game which is great and so is this guitar the only downfall is where the neck snaps into the body is loose which I fixedby putting a buisness card cut down and folded in half between the body and neck and now its solid, as far as batteries I have been through easy medium and hard career multiple times, online play and still running on the same batteries that come with it I might buy the recharge kit for this if these batteries ever die"

WOOOOOOOOO   06/04/2008
By CHRIZZZ from Austin TX

Pros: Every last thing
Cons: nuthin

"Ive been a guitar hero fan since the original came out for PS2, and Theyve made some amazing games since then, this one being the best so far. Anyone who likes music will love this game. Because of its many difficulties, small kids through adults can walk up and play a song and get to become a rock star like they dream. I know I love it, why shouldnt you? go out and buy this game!"

Cons: Only two player

"Overall a fun game. Good music and a pretty good selection. Only real downside is you can only play bass or guitar, but it is called guitar hero."

Best Entertainment on Earth!   04/28/2008
By Meshee from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Pros: Just keeps getting better and better!
Cons: Your hands get a tough workout!

"As I place the lightweight guitar over my shoulders, I immediately feel as if I am opening for the greatest rock band that ever performed. This fabulous game can be played alone or with family & friends of all ages(even my 87 year old grandfather jams out!). I have played all types of video games but this is by far the greatest game ever invented. It allows players to play against each other or to create a band and have a career. I love the fact that when you are done with a song, it will give you a percentage of how many notes you hit correctly. It also tells you how many notes you hit correctly in a row! I still remember the night that I switched from "easy" to "medium", I felt like I climbed Mount Everest. This game is fantastic because there is always something new to accomplish. I hope in the future they will make hundreds of songs available for the game."

Loads of fun   04/21/2008
By CharlieJJ from Brooklyn, NY

Pros: Very good song selections, challenging
Cons: Buttons don't always work

"I bought this for my teenage son and withing one week one of the buttons stopped working (just as one of his friends guitars did). We exchanged it and it's been working ever since. Loads of fun watching him try to keep up with the screen, and competing with his friends. I also got him Rock Band Special Edition shortly afterwards and I like that it allows more collaberation and not just competing. (My 8 yr old daughter is now a lead singer in their family room band!)"

More than Just Fun   04/21/2008
By JMTiger from Clemson, SC

Pros: Hours of enjoyment when alone or with friends...
Cons: None

"This game not only supplied me with entertainment for hours on end, but it has opened my life to playing music. Playing Guitar Hero III has helped me learn rythm and how to move my hands so that I have since taken up playing the electric guitar. This game also boasts a beautiful design and does a great job paying tribute to the talented musicians who originally made the music."

Best out of all of them   03/20/2008
By Sephiroth803653 from Colunbus, Ohio

Pros: Easy to pick up and a blast with a friend!
Cons: None!

"The only other time I have played this type of game was over at my friends house and at Best Buy. both times were amazing. My dad got it for my birthday and I haven't stop playing ever since! The songs aree fantstic, my personal favorite is Raining Blood. The only thing I suggest strongly is to make sure you have two guitar controllers so that way you can invite a friend over to play. If anything, be sure to have online because when you defeat someone online, it feels sooo good (: Overall, it's a must buy!"

Great Game   03/17/2008
By cowsgomoo

"This game is so cool. It is a lot harder than Rock Band b/c it is harder to hit the orange button on the guitar hero 3 controller. But it is a great game. I like guitar hero 3 better than guitar hero 1 and 2 and I like it better than Rock Band simply b/c it has way better songs than any of those games. It is just more fun than Rock Band. Dont buy Rock Band unless you just want the drums. And you can buy Rock Band with the drums only Thats a way better deal than the $170.00 Rock band. Get this game if you dont have it. You wont believe how fun it is until you actually play it."

Really, really fun   03/12/2008
By NateD

Pros: Wireless controller, Tons of songs, Hammer-Ons
Cons: Easier than GHII, Some horrible songs

"I bought this game around Christmas, so I had one heck of a time getting it, but it was totally worth it. This is the first Guitar Hero I bought for my 360, and trust me, its way better on 360 than ps3 or wii. Its kinda expensive at 100 bucks, but its worth every penny. The songs are easier than the previous Guitar Heros because of the added hammer-ons, but thats ok. I blew through Expert in like a day, but then I unlocked Through the Fire and Flames, so thats cool. The game has a ton of good songs, ex. Bulls on Parade and Welcome to the Jungle, but a couple of songs that make you wonder what they were thinking when they put them in, like Kool Thing and Black Sunshine.

The wireless guitar that comes with it is awesome too. Its better than the other GH guitars by far, mostly because you can rock out without knocking your system off the shelf. Unfortunatly, my guitar broke, so I sent it in, but that hasn't happened to anyone else I know's guitars.

I would definitly buy the game over Rock Band because the songs are way better and its cheaper...although there are no drums..."

Pros: les paul controller
Cons: songs are fillterd

"this game is pretty sick expert is a joke its just splits and some times a solo with hammer ons boss battles get very repetitive they get the same powers like wammy bar and amp over load. Other than the boss battles being dumb this game is pretty cool"

A great installment to the GH series   02/18/2008
By Cippp from CT

Pros: Great Song List; Downloadable Songs; Battle Feature; Online Play
Cons: SO HARD TO GET A GAME ONLINE; Gibson Controller; Rediculusly Low Acheivment Points

"GH3 is a very great game. With the competition of Rock Band, it really has to be good. The song list is pretty good. In the carrer mode you have the abiility to face two rock ledgends, Tom Marrelo (Rais Against The Machine) and Slash (Guns N' Roses, Vevlet Revolver, and Slashes Snake Pit). Now there is one more person you battle at the end, but I dont wanna ruin the surprise. One thing your probebly moste excited about is the online play, and i was to. On a bad day, it can take a half hour to find an online match. This can be very stressful at times. One thing im not to fond of is the New controller. Me and many of my freinds all had toruble with the fret buttons working. Most of the time im still using the old x-plorer. The acheivment points are to low. If you beat Through The Fire and Flames on Expert You unlock the inhumane acheivment, wich is worth 15 points. ?!?!?!?!????!!!!! Other than a couple flaws, this a good game over all. This surpases rock band on any level."

Wireless Guitar is Awesome!   02/12/2008
By akfitz from Eugene, OR

Pros: Wireless guitar works great, new songs and ability to defeat the "Rock Legends" in showdowns
Cons: Can't buy an additional wireless guitar yet

"I love the wireless capability of this guitar. The game itself is more intense than Guitar Hero II, and allows you to compete in showdowns against the "Rock Legends", which makes it more challenging. Really fun game, but I wish they'd make the guitar available to buy separately."

Awesome!!   02/10/2008
By BCastle from Michigan

Pros: Awesome songs, TONS of fun. Battles with multiplayer are great.
Cons: Should have encores similar to GH2

"Overall I love this game. Bought it online from BestBuy. The shipping method leaves a bit to be desired. UPS brings it to the Post Office and the Post Office brings it to your home. Took a couple extra days because of the process. One or the other!!"
