At first I was not interested, with Harmoincs leaving the GH team for Rock Band I thought I would leave GHIII and just wait for Rock Band. How ever due to a good word from friends I decided to get it.

I must say, it is probably the biggest waste of 120 dollars I have ever seen. Aside from the challenges, everything about GHIII is simply boring. They have deliberatly slowed the bar down so you can 'shred harder' but it only puts you off.

Being a BIG time GHII fan it shocked me so much to find that GHIII is a slow playing boring game... The hammer ons and pull offs' rarely show themselves, even in moments where they should obviously be there. The general accuracy of the guitar is terrible. No matter how ****y it sounds, I can play guitar hero on Expert fairly easily, yet I constantly miss blatant notes on number three.

My sources stand by their word that GHIII is awesome, but I personally am not convinced. If they spent as much time on game play as they did on the video crowd and humorous video clips then maybe this would be a decent game.

I play it and literally feel bored and frustrated... Non of the songs pull you back like they did on GHII and I think is just no atmosphere to the game at all.

Whatever it was that made GH I/II good obviously left with Harmonics, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock lived up to my expectations. 4/10.

interesting, as most reviews thought this one the best.

I personally enjoy it just as much as the other ones.

as far as hammer on's and pull off's go, there are plenty, but that mainly has to do with the song and yea they a little easier to pull off.

120 dollars!!!!! I payed 80! what system you get it for, I got it for ps2.

what's number three?

the songs I think make or break the game, and I liked the song list the best on 1 and 2

btw, what about dragon force? or cliffs of dover?

I've played through the whole play list and never encountered a song that uses the same hammer on pull off style as number 2.

XboX 360.

number three is number three.

I honestly don't think that the over whelming country and slow rock collections are entertaining. Even when they through songs from Slipknot and such bands, the game play ruins it for me. The fether sensitive frets are just an annoyance and should never have been introduced.

The only good things I have seen from GHIII are the face offs and Dragon Force, even though I struggle to play it under the new controls which drives me crazy... :(

(P.S GHIII ruined My Curse by Killswitch Engage aswell, another lil some thing somthing that has aided my bias...)

yea i don't like 2 play that song much either :(
but on the other hand I thought that they ruined, avenge sevenfold at first till I got used to the song, and yes some hammer on's and pull off's are new, but so are the songs they chose, and I think if the number 3 is a song, then I'm not sure if that is on the ps2 version?

hahahaha, just wondering, at the start of 'before I forget' is there no sound for you? At the start of 13 or 14 songs there is absolutely no sound till 30 or 40 seconds in... :(

Pfft at better music. I take GHII over GHIII any day, GHIII is still good, but no where near as good as 2.
