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. Online support is also included for head-to-head battles. 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." The game also supports downloadable content via Xbox Live, from additional songs to picture packs and themes. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

Awesome camp game by: clauper

“We pull this out all the time at my computer camp. It would be great if there was a scoring system that could balance out different skill levels though. ”

“This version of Guitar Hero III has better graphics than the PS2 version, but the guitar controller was a little wierd to hold. The game was still fun though.”

“A really fun GH installment. Though the achievments are very, very, very, very DIFFICULT! Nonetheless with its low price tag its still worth while.”

“The setlist is worth five stars by itself. The Battle Mode however is shit, and I am glad they have since removed it. It takes focus away from the main part of the game... the music! The achievements are also off the wall and ridiculous.”

“This game was one of the easiest and the hardest and the same time. Beating this game on expert is next to impossible. I like it that way. Song list is pretty good although I could have done without some songs. 4 out of 5”
