I own Guitar Hero II and have been looking forward to III, thinking the songs would be better, as difficult, if not more so than II, and of course, better graphics. The only good thing about III is Slasher, a new character. I started on Hard mode (I am up to level 7 on Expert in II) and got down to level 7 in III before I failed a song. I was bored through most of the songs, which had a lot of 2-note repetition over and over and 1-note strings. Guitar II has a much better song presentation – a lot more fret work and the songs you purchase in the Store are much more fun/interesting than the dull, boring songs presented here. The graphics for the most part look cartoonish (shouldn’t they be MORE realisitic, not less?) and some of the characters look plain ugly. While you’re trying to play, popups display when you hit 50 and 100 note streak (very difficult to determine when you have reached star power with all the onscreen popups). It’s very distracting and not really necessary. There are more distracting flashing lights going on the screen on the stage, including the flashing when you hit a note, which seems more bright than II. The battle with the computer character is OK and about the only difference to the game that I found as a nonmultiplayer gamer. Oh yes – I never did get the wireless guitar to connect – I went back to my reliable II wired guitar instead. I’m going to continue working on beating II and then wait for Rock Band. Hopefully, they will produce fun songs to play like they did in II. (In case you think I just don’t like hard rock, I do – I love Transiberian Orchestra and grew to love the songs in II. But III songs are just boring to me.)

I’d expect this to be priced new at $209 by somebody selling on eBay, but Amazon selling this new for $209 is nothing but blatant price gouging. I bought this on release week at target for $89 … what a rip off … wait a month people you’ll find them somewhere else.

This would be a great bundle to get on the Wii is awesome and will provide hours of entrainment but Amazon price gouging is ridicules You can find the same bundle cheap if you go to ebay. That is where I brought mine.

A good guitar for Guitar Hero, but it’s not compatible with Rock Band which is stupid. So you have to have 3 guitars if you want to be able to play both games unless you get a universal one!

So being a big fan of Guitar Hero 1 & 2, I was overall pretty disappointed with this installment. I don’t really have a gripe with the song selection, and it’s nice to see some songs with the master tracks, but the overall set-up of the game is frusterating.
First off: the guitar controller itself. When I first got mine, my blue button didn’t work, but after wearing it in for an hour it got to working most of the time. All the sudden it’s my green button that doesn’t work – and my green button has been giving me problems for 2 weeks now. My friend bought it on the first day it came out also and ALL of his buttons didn’t work! So he returned it and got a new one only for some more of the buttons to not work. He’s since worn his in and I think it’s pretty much fine now. I also read many reviews online about other peoples’ guitars malfunctioning. This is unacceptable really. I don’t care if the guitar looks nicer – if it doesn’t work then it’s a piece of junk. Sometimes Star Power doesn’t activate very easily.
Second: Sometimes, the visual note placements in the game don’t match the notes of the actual song, and it throws you off. For example, a note in the game will appear like a second AFTER or BEFORE the note in the song and that’s really unacceptable also. Put the notes where they belong! This is coming from a person who beat the game on the Hard and Expert difficulties.
Third: Battle Mode was fun – for awhile. All of the “attacks” are reasonable except for the Lefty Flip. This one will most likely demolish you no matter what. The other attacks are reasonable to get around and escape from, but the flip is unreasonably difficult. And there’s no option to turn it off!
Fourth: Star Power often lags. Yes, you heard it right. I have the first two Guitar Heroes for PS2 and those NEVER LAGGED! But now, on XBox 360, the star power lags. Sometimes it lags so bad that it makes you miss notes. I’m sorry to say this again, but this is really unacceptable – especially for XBox 360.
Fifth: During Quick-Play sessions, which are usually the times when you gather all your friends around and take turns playing songs, they put the Difficulty Settings BEFORE you even get to the setlist. So each time a player wants to change the difficulty, you basically have to quit and go back to the main menu, go back into Quick-Play, change the difficulty, and then go to the setlist. The previous two games had a difficulty settings before each song. This becomes tedious and makes the game less and less fun the more you play it.
Those are just about my major complaints. I know the game was bought by a new company, but these flaws are really unacceptable. If everything worked the way it was supposed to, this would be a great game. But from the game to the guitar controller itself, this game is deeply flawed. NOT worth the 100 bucks most stores are charging for it.
