DESCRIPTION

Based on the popular console series, Guitar Hero III Mobile stars playable characters such as Judy Nails and Axel Steel, and features a selection of four Gibson brand guitars. Additional guitars and other content can be unlocked for use by meeting in-game challenges. Although the mobile version of Guitar Hero III does not support any special controller accessories, the play of the game is similar to that of its bigger-screen band mates. Players perform the guitar parts to familiar songs by pressing buttons in rhythm with the music. Different icons scroll down the screen, representing different buttons on the mobile device. Players need to tap the correct buttons at the right moments, in order to play the right notes in time with the song. The set list for Guitar Hero III Mobile includes hard rock mainstays such as Alice Cooper's School's Out," Paranoid" by Black Sabbath, Van Halen's version of "You Really Got Me," and other Guitar Hero series favorites. The game contains a total of 15 tracks, with four songs plus an encore available in each of three virtual venues. With the connectivity of most mobile devices, players can purchase and download as many as three dozen additional songs, made available gradually following the initial release of the game. ~ T.J.
