DESCRIPTION

The Guitar Hero series offers its biggest lineup of songs to date with Legends of Rock, the first game developed outside of Harmonix. Fans of the finger-fiddling franchise will rock out to over 70 tracks, many of which use master recordings from the original artists. The core play mechanics are nearly identical to previous iterations, with players using a guitar-shaped controller to quickly match colored notes as they cascade down the screen. By keeping up with the song, hitting the right chords at the right time, and strumming to the beat, players will rack up points and advance to more challenging tunes.

Once again players can embark on a career, earning money to unlock new characters, guitars, songs, and other surprises while competing in an assortment of colorful venues. For the first time, players will test their technique against real-life guitar gods. Rock stars Slash, Tom Morello, and others will confront players at various points, where the object is to drain their "rock meter" by outperforming them at their own songs. Players can also directly challenge a nearby friend. Completing tricky "star power" riffs earns players random power-ups to use against rivals at any time.

Player-sabotaging power-ups include doubling the number of onscreen notes, switching control to left-handed play, and more. Non-competitive types will appreciate the career co-op mode, allowing two guitarists to work together through each song list. Among the featured tracks are "Paint It Black," "Cherub Rock," "Slow Ride," "Barracuda," "Rock and Roll All Nite," and "Sabotage." Guitar Hero III for PlayStation 2 is available as a standalone purchase or as part of a bundle including a black, wireless guitar controller patterned after the Gibson Kramer. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Better graphics and more challenging than the second one, Guitar Hero III tests your skills with a new battle mode where you mess with your opponent with powerups that replace your star power. This Guitar Hero was more fun and playable than number 2.”

“The necessity of battle mode as a part of the career mode held this game back for me The wireless Kramer guitar exclusive to the PS2 version is solid and one of the better feeling peripherals in the series.”

“Hooray! liscenced songs! New cool character models! I can even overlook the advertising and the "bow-chicka wow" girls, but one star from perfect becuase there's no co-op quickplay. Also the battles with the rock stars are a bit shite.”
