Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Review

 

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

Conclusion

I’m not a real rocker but playing Guitar Hero III helped me be the best at pretending to be.  I thought that I had found my inner rockstar with Guitar Hero II but I realized that was only the beginning of the legend after playing Guitar Hero III.  The wireless Les Paul was a big improvement over previous guitars and a near perfect for shredding.  I didn’t care too much for the boss battles this time around for some reason but that didn’t take from the fun.

The downloadable content for the game has been perhaps the biggest disappointment in that there is hardly any of it.  There are a few additional songs/packs out there but it’s far from enough when you consider what Rock Band has been producing.  Legends of Rock is still very much worthy of being in everyone’s musical collection.

    I agree 100%! This game also got me into Rock. My sis has a guitar under my bed that she hasn’t used in years, I think I might try to use google to learn how to play it lol. Once I have enough pennies I’m gonna buy this game, I rented it for a while but that wasn’t enough!

    “The Metal” is one of my favourite songs aswell. but i love Generation Rock by Revolverheld, Nothing for me here by Dope, Prayer of the Refugee by Rise against, and ofcourse slipknot disturbed and dragonforce too.
    So i dont really agree on the bit about the last song not really that great. But that might be just me :)

    The last song is great but it’s hard as hell O_O. Watch the dragon force video here http://youtube.com/watch?v=3u3FVdKe_Uw and look at the part when they show the dudes playing the guitar…..am I the only one that gets dizzy from watching that part? XD

    Played the demo and liked it. Played the other brand at a friends and beat it with my sister-in-laws daughter. Got her hooked on the game. She was smack talking me at first and said, beware… your up next.

    It’s good, but in my opinion Rock Band is 1000 times better…

    This is by far the best review you’ve done. I agree with pretty much everything in your review. There needs to be more DLC for this game as well. I’m enjoying the RB DLC songs more than GH3 DLC songs.

    Rock Band just seems to “know how to pick’em.” The songs released on Christmas pretty much all rocked. lol… but what do I care, I don’t own GHIII or RockBand! ;)

    Still, excellent review, Deac. Extremely thorough.

    I love GH3 as well, but my only complaints are the achievements are stupid hard and the boss battles are the suck…other than that though, the GP, co-op carreer and the track lists are awesome..

    great review DB….
