The process is very easy to do, and the guitar works well. Though it’s somewhat impractical for gameplay, I took the guitar about 30 feet away from the console while I was playing a song—with metal cubicle walls in between—and the controller never fluttered or broke connection once. It does seem to go through AA batteries in a couple of days of heavy play, so you may want to get some rechargables to save your wallet a bit. The guitar also has a standard wireless headset jack, which makes it easy to chat during the multiplayer modes. We’ll discuss them in a bit, but rest assured that the headset also works like a charm when connected to the guitar, so you have some freedom of movement, if you choose. Outside of that, the controls are essentially the same as the previous guitar, though the Back and Start Buttons have been increased on these new Les Paul replicas, which makes it easier to kick in Star Power (if you choose to do that in place of rocking the guitar up) or pausing the game. (A quick note—or gripe, if you will—about pausing in GH3. I don’t understand why, if you pause in the middle of a song, unpausing should immediately start at full speed right where you paused, which makes it nearly impossible to avoid missing notes. If this was being treated like a true song rehearsal, you’d get counted back into the action. I make this an open plea to add this kind of feature to the next version of GH, because otherwise it isn’t worth jumping back into a song, unless you happen to find an open gap in which to take your break. There, I’ve gotten that off my chest…) The single-player gameplay is much the same as previous versions, with the main goal being to set up a “career,” select a difficulty (from four settings) and play through a song list one at a time, earning up to five stars for how well you were able to re-create the song’s note chart on your fret buttons. Here, there are 42 songs out of the box, though you’ll be able to “purchase” bonus songs now, as well as download additional songs via Xbox Live Marketplace soon enough, which will extend your song selection. GH3 has a Training mode where you can try out any of the songs and work on your prowess should you need to polish your play on specific portions. The number of stars you get on a certain difficulty rewards you with in-game money; the better you do, the more you put in your bank—and you occasionally get a new sponsor who’ll kick a good sum in the direction of your band for touring and such. The money you earn can be used to buy new instruments and finishes, songs, playable characters and so on. And with GH3, you also earn money in the Easy career, which is helpful given the pricing of some objects. Neversoft has strived to improve the song list, with numerous tracks being “master songs” that are created by the original band, not re-created in a recording studio somewhere by session musicians. These include a wide range of songs from “Paint It, Black” by Rolling Stone to Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” (which was re-recorded for specifically for the game) to “Knights of Cydonia” by Muse. It’s important to note that, not all of the songs are that good. Some (such as “La Grange” and “Pride and Joy”) are facsimiles that just don’t capture the spirit of the original as well; others (such as The Killers’ “When We Were Young”) just don’t seem to belong in a game called Guitar Hero.

To make things short and simple Guitar Hero 3 is a great game. I personnally think it is better than Guitar Hero 2 and 100 times better Rock of the 80's. There are tons of pretty good bands on here such as; Dead Kennedys, ZZ Top, Guns and Roses, Iron Maiden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Disturbed, Foghat, Pearl Jam, and Santana just to name a few. You get what you pay for in this one compared to Rock of the 80's. There are 30 songs on that one and I think around 70 on this when you buy the extra songs. There are also more charachters, guitars, videos, etc. The other cool thing is battle mode. When you pass certain songs Slash, Tom Morello, or a devil named Lou will challenge you. Whoever challenges you, you can hit him or he can hit you with various things like double notes (twice the number of notes for a short time), moving you up to a harder level for a short time, and couple of things. I also like how the notes come up on the screen a little better. It is not really different than the other guitar hero's but, it just seems more fluid. You can play this game for hours and not know where the time went. You may have to stop for a while though because your fingers may hurt.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Neversoft's first take on the Guitar Hero franchise really doesn't make any changes to the formula Harmonix created with GH1 and GH2. This isn't really a bad thing since the GH1 and GH2 formulas are so great, but it would have really been nice to see something new for the series. Here's a breakdown of the game: Graphics: The graphics on the PS2 version of the game are really nice and definitely have more detail and flair than with the previous Guitar Heroes. Unfortunately, the frame rate drops and the song slows down and gets a little choppy when you use star power. This is really too bad because I usually try to use star power on the parts of songs that I find difficult and this really messes me up even more than I would regularly. Gameplay/Guitar: The gameplay pretty much follows the old GH formula, except for the fact that the window of time that you can a play a note in has been extended a little bit. This isn't such a bad thing because some of the later levels in the game would be nearly impossible without this small change. The Gibson Kramer guitar that comes bundled with GH3 is the first stab at a wireless controller for the GH franchise and unfortunately it didn't work to well. The first guitar I got was defective and wouldn't connect to the wireless adapter so I had to return it and get a second one, which did work. Since then my new controller has worked pretty well, but once I had to restart my PS2 to get the controller to work. Set list: This is where GH3 really shines. This is definitely the best set list yet. It includes songs like Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones, Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses, and One by Metallica. Nearly all the songs are originals and they all sound really great. This is the best Guitar Hero set list yet. Unfortunately, there are a couple songs which you can only unlock in co-op, so if you don't have a second guitar you'll have to either attempt to play with a regular PS2 controller, or just forget about playing these songs. These co-op only songs aren't small songs either, a couple of them like Suck my Kiss and Sabotage are actually advertised as some of the top songs in the game on the box. Career/Co-op Career: The regular career is exactly the same as the past GH game except for the addition of some little cartoons after every set and three boss battles placed throughout the sets. The cartoons are cute but really add nothing to the game. The boss battles are quite fun and challenging, but since there are only three they don't really make up a big part of the career. Also the songs that you play during the boss battles are only playable in single-player career, so as awesome as it sounds to battle your friend to either Tom Morello or Slash's solo filled battle song, sorry, but you can't. The co-op career is really good and it's really fun to be able to play through the career with a friend. Overall: Guitar Hero 3 is basically the same as GH1 and GH2, it has the best songs of all the GH games, and the controller is flawed but it is nice to be able to play wirelessly. It's too bad that there's nearly nothing new, but it still includes all the fun of the other guitar hero games.Vollständige Rezension lesen
It's alright simply because it's a game which features music, and gives you something entertaining to do while you listen. But, it's horrible in the way it is so incredibly focused on improving on what people considered the initial game's flaws to be that it lacks the fundamental elements that made the other game, and GH:II so great! This game is so focused on style and different outfits and characters as well as There are One spot I applaud is the extra songs set list (that you purchase from the Vault) because there are excellent songs which don't fit into the themes of the other stages but are still incredible songs.
I bought the wireless guitar, which helps not getting tangling up in the cord or unplugging it during play. I have only had it for a day and couldn't get enough, just to much fun. I do not consider myself a gamer, but this was something to break the stress of my day and I love it. If you do not have one try to find one. I bought this for half the price as the retail store and I feel I got every bit of my money worth. The only thing I had against it was, there is nothing about sync the guitar to the ps2, in the book with the game was a support web site and in less tha a minute after just two clicks on the site in the search I found the problem and all I had to do was push a button, real hard, just wish it was in the book with the game to tell me that. Rock on people, whether you have a ps2, xbox, Wii, I even saw on the site for their new games and even for nintendo DS.Vollständige Rezension lesen
