Video Games : Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock with Wireless Guitar Controller (Xbox 360)

Rating: - It's Just....SO FUN!
I think the Guitar Hero series is one of my favourite series of games around, contending with Call of Duty and GTA.

There's no story to it really nor are the graphics really anything special - but then they don't need to be. But the track list and game itself is something special. I've heard people moan about Guitar Hero, saying why bother wasting time on that when you could play a real guitar? Or things related to that. But to be honest, that's what games are. They're pointless skills. Same with Guitar Hero.

However, I remember playing this for the first time back in February where I was failing on Easy on my first tries but at the same time, I loved it. A couple of weeks later I spent the £75 (at the time) on the game and think it has been one of my best purchases since the Xbox 360. Now i'm almost complete on Expert with 'Raining Blood' left to do.

The track list is fantastic. Some songs I had never heard of on there have become some of my favourites like 'Through the Fire and Flames' and 'Cherub Rock'. Getting 5* on a song at your difficulty level is somewhat satisfying, as well as getting 200k on Cult of Personality with Star Power. There are things in this game which do make me feel quite happy with yourself.

Then the game is just perfect for some social occasions. I've had friends round on several occasions and Guitar Hero would be on all night. It's a good way to bring everyone together with a nice bit of healthy competition.

I think there is a two word phrase to describe Guitar Hero - Addictive fun. That's what it is. It's sooooo addictive. The amount of times i've gone 'just one more song'. And at the same time, it's incredibly fun. I love this game so much i've hit over the 100million mark on total score. It's just that fun and addictive.

Yes, £65 is a lot for a game but I would seriously recommend it. It's a great purchase :)

5*

In my opinion this is the best game on Xbox 360. It's very fun and addictive, it has a fairly decent setlist, it's likely you may not know all of the songs if you're not a rock fanatic but they're very easy to become familiar with. Guitar hero is good for your hand-eye co-ordination. Overall a very good game that you will always love to pick up again.

I bought this game about 3 weeks ago after enjoying the demo, and have so far completed easy and medium difficulties, and I just simply love it. At first I thought i'd get bored within a week of playing but I realised when I got further in just how many songs are available and as soon as
i'd finished playing them all once through I wanted to play them again!

You can easily get into this game if you are a first time Guitar Hero player (like I was) and if you start on easy you'll soon be wanting a try at medium level. It's very addictive and has Live! With a choice of Battle, Pro Face-Off, Face-Off or Co-op it had me playing with my friends and against the world.

The boss battles can become difficult but the only one I have had any difficulty on so far was Lou on Medium but I eventually beat him. So I urge you to buy this game, the price isn't bad and it is definately worth it.

Rating: - Good fun but spoiled by ........
........ the tedious boss battles in the one player career mode . I've spent hours and hours just trying to beat Slash on the medium level and it's just become annoying now - I can't really see people playing this after Rock Band gets released - but there's still fun to be had here with multiplayer and plenty of downloadable songs .

I bought this game for my partner's birthday as he had been wanting it for a while. We had never played any of the previous guitar hero games so werenot totally sure what to expect. We were definately pleasantly surprised as it is great fun. The wireless guitar is definately a plus, the songs on there are great. The guitar battles are great fun especially when you are actually playing against someone in the co-op mode.

Well worth buying!
