    I bought this game for my roomate i dont know why he likes it ,it gives me a headache ,you have to you have to line up the buttons on the game in order to keep playing the music if you miss a button you screwed up and have to start all over again , and the music is loud and annoying some of the songs are nice but that’s about it after a while it gets to ya ,in my opinion it’s a pointless waste of money.

    IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR TO PRAISE SATAN, THIS VIDEO GAME IS EXACTLY YOUR BEST CHOICE. I BOUGHT IT FOR MY teenager son, for this first look it is fun, but the most dificult the level is, the most satanic songs are and the graphics, you;ll see the devil killing people. Honestly, we felt bad, and strange things happened to us in two days. Game was returned. I had to click on the stars to rate it, but the rate is -0

    Let me start off by saying Iam a guitar hero freak I play it all the time almost every day. Yes I guess you could call me one of those guitar hero losers.

    I was anticipating this release like no other game ever I went to get the copy at a midnight opening for the game.

    There are a few things different about this release from the other 3 releases. That I DO NOT LIKE , but that may differ from your opinion.

    1. The game play is a lot different than the others games. There is a smaller screen to work with and they make the fret buttons smaller too.

    (not to smart)

    2. They will probably ruin the series by concentrating too much on the background stuff all of that has improved from previous releases but still who has time to pay attention to that stuff ?

    3. On all other releases I play on hard and expert modes. But in Guitar Hero 3 like I said the screen and fret buttons are smaller so hard mode is not to much fun.

    4. I dont wanna start and wars with people and their favorite bands but when it is called LEGENDS OF ROCK I cant help but wonder where is Megadeth who was on the previous two games? Where is Motorhead one of the most influential bands of all time. Where is the great Alice in Chains theres not Grundge in the game no Nirvana. But the did put some stupid bands in like Slipknot and AIF etc. are those two bands legends of rock and will we remember them in a few years probably not.

    5. Something they where pretty consistent of in the other releases was the harder the song is in real life was usually later in the game / however they do have different arenas that go together with the bands but still. They made a kiss song more difficult the a Cream song c’mon.

    6. There doesnt seem to be a uniqueness to any of the songs they all seem like your playing the same song. The other releases for example Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Texas Flood the type of pattern you had to play made it unique and blended great with the song. In GH3 there is not to much blending it seems somewhat stale.

    Some of the pros for this release

    1. The music I like the fact that they picked a lot of older songs but then they did throw in some newer stuff which kinda sucked.

    2. The note streak will pop up when your playing, this is a good idea which I happen to like that they added to the release.

    3. Slash and Tom Morrello as characters are a great idea for new characters adding real performers.

    4. The Battle mode is alright once you get the hang of it but it seems kind of out of place. When all you wanna do is just rock out.

    In closing be warned if you like how the previous games where, then try to rent this game first to see if you like it, before you go out and spend your money.

    My only fear is that GH series is going to end up staying in this worring about everything but the songs. They will concentrate on new challanges to be made / battle modes and background work than the actual gameplay. They should have just stuck with the orginal gameplay.

    This game, involves the devil.Lot’s of people love this, but it is not for kids under 13(that’s what I think.)A big fat 0 is what the age is for.If you want to kill your kids Imagination, go right ahead, or make our father sad. Please get this game away from kids under 13. My daughter, Tia played it at a friends house. Then we saw the video. DON”T HURT YOUR BRAIN OR YOUR LIFE!

    To all of you who are criticizing this game, shut the hell up. This game rocks and you all are outting in way too much effort into saying this game isn’t worth it. IT IS WORTH IT. I don’t care whether or not you found this review helpful or not, this game kicks butt!
