Very good, but very different to GH2

Guitar Hero 3 is a great game, but definitely has a few minor flaws. Gameplay The gameplay is in some ways simple but it gets more complicated. In this game, you will play songs using the Guitar Contr… Read more

Doesn't rock as hard as Rock Band.

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… Read more

A series going a little stale

I have been an obsessive guitar hero fan since the first release. This iteration of the series has the best track list of every guitar hero to day. Online play is fun and does not lag, but for some od… Read more

Guitar Hero 3 - Get ready to ROCK!

Disappointing first try from Neversoft

Neversoft is not Harmonix. That is obvious. However, this does not mean Neversoft can not make a great music game. I mean, even veterans like Harmonix had to start somewhere. That being said, Guitar H… Read more

The best Guitar Hero 3 version!

This version of GH3 has a lighter guitar, better songs, and better online play than the Wii version. It also has better graphics, and includes the flaming fingers feature. While the Wii version was an… Read more

A disgrace to Guitar Hero.

A heavy guitar, bad music, and crappy graphics lead to the worst version of Guitar Hero 3. The Wii version. The Wii version of Guitar Hero 3 has the worst songs of all the versions, and the worst grap… Read more

Er... what happened between 2 and 3?

So when I first played 3, I thought, "Boy, I hoped Neversoft really improved this! I can't wait to see what they did! Better setlist? Good online play? Better DLC?". Thank you for crushing my dreams.… Read more

It is more of the same, but it is enough

A welcome increase in challenge.

Just a brief review. Guitar Hero 3 is a fairly by the books sequel in most respects. It's Guitar Hero 2. But more! And more Guitar Hero is never a bad thing. You should know by now whether you like Gu… Read more

A good game, but not necessarily great.

Guitar Hero 3 is not a bad game. Neversoft takes the formula Harmonix developed and had their first go at making a plastic instrument game. The game does not push the genre forward, it is essentially… Read more

Despite its amazing track list, GH3 isn't as much fun as before.

Before November of 2005, few people had any exposure to the rhythm games outside of some stumbling on a DDR dance pad after a couple of margaritas on a Saturday night at Dave and Buster's. Then unknow… Read more
