Back To Rock You Like A Hurricane,
By
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Guitar Hero 3 Bundle (Video Game)
After three editions of Guitar Hero,I,II and Encore:Rock The 80s,Guitar Hero III is released on October 28th 2007 much to the delight of fans of the serie.What makes Guitar Hero so different and succesfull you ask,well the fact that it plays on a guitar peripherial for one and that it rocks!Packed with great rocking tunes Guitar Hero is back once again with new features such as a wireless guitar,all new boss battles and you can play as real guitarist such as Slash.Its just as good as the other edition if not better and with the new features you will rock for months to come!Its no secret,Guitar Hero III uses the same classic formula that made the previous titles of the serie so succesfull with a combinasion of new features.The wireless guitar is a very nice addition so now you don't have to worry about your console and you can run around,jump like crazy like rock bands do.Yet for those who already own a guitar from one of the previous GH titles then its different,if you don't feel like you NEED a wireless guitar then you might just want to buy GH III without the guitar as you Can PLAY with previous titles guitars,yet a wireless guitar is more fun.I also like the fact that the guitar included with GH III is the Gibson Les Paul one of my fav guitars,it is also used by several musicians,Yet for the PS2 version they have decided to use the Kramer Pacer... That said,lets go to the gameplay.Its very much what was in the other GH titles with the view being mostly on you and the buttons have remained the same with the different colors on the guitar and you have to match the colors on the screen so that you play the notes to make the music.Its a simple idea but how fun and it really makes you feel like a rock star and takes you in the action.Its harder than it seems...There are a total of 42 songs in the game.Also many classic characters such as Izzy Sparks are back while some have been left off and others came in. They paid closer attention to the background,animations and crowd then before attempting to make it even a better experience than before.Because of that,the fret buttons screen has been a bit reduced not that it affects the game SO much,its just something i noted.Also the loadings are longer than in previous game because of the gameplay changes,while that might be frustrating its worth it to play this great game.It ain't so bad i saw games that much longer waiting before and they weren't even worth it! The boss battles are wicked and are one of the new features to the game.Its certainly cool and different tought it can be tought depending on how good you are and your previous Guitar Hero experiences.I don't want to tell too much about it to spoil the experience but its quite original and a great new addition to the serie,yet some hardcore GH players have some complaints that its a tad too easy.Its so-so,everyone has different oipinions but certainly add difficulty to the game in my opinion and it can be frustrating. The difficulty has gotten considerably tougher so that its a good challenge both for experienced and inexperienced players.There are plenty of unlockables like new Guitars,Outfits,Characters and songs as the other GH releases wich is good.Once again four levels of difficulty to choose from:Easy,Medium,Hard and Very Hard,depnding on how good you are you might want to start by the beggening as GH is never easy for a newbie(i once was and saw probably more than 15 newbies struggle with it).Yet it takes some getting used to but once you get the hang of it you'll love it. Multiplayer is better than ever!If they did something right,its certainly the multiplayer as its best co-op of the serie so far.There are many goals to achieve and plenty of things to do from the classic battle mode and co-op but now multiplayer in GH III lets you play career co-op!Now how cool is that?Very Cool!For some its a dream come true especially for me since i love playing GH with friends. Here is the career playlist: 1. Starting Out Small "Slow Ride" - Foghat "Talk Dirty to Me" - Poison (Vocals re-recorded by Bret Michaels) "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" - Pat Benatar "Story of My Life" - Social Distortion "Rock and Roll All Nite" - Kiss (Encore) 2. Your First Real Gig "Mississippi Queen" - Mountain "School's Out" - Alice Cooper "Sunshine of Your Love" - Cream "Barracuda" - Heart "Guitar Battle vs. Tom Morello" (Original composition) "Bulls on Parade" - Rage Against the Machine (Encore with Tom Morello) 3. Making the Video "When You Were Young" - The Killers "Miss Murder" - AFI "The Seeker" - The Who "Lay Down" - Priestess "Paint It, Black" - The Rolling Stones (Encore) 4. European Invasion "Paranoid" - Black Sabbath "Anarchy in the U.K." - Sex Pistols "Kool Thing" - Sonic Youth "My Name Is Jonas" - Weezer "Even Flow" - Pearl Jam (Encore) 5. Bighouse Blues "Holiday in Cambodia" - Dead Kennedys "Rock You Like a Hurricane" - Scorpions "Same Old Song and Dance" - Aerosmith "La Grange" - ZZ Top "Guitar Battle vs. Slash" (Original composition) "Welcome to the Jungle" - Guns N' Roses (Encore with Slash) 6. The Hottest Band on Earth "Black Magic Woman" - Santana "Cherub Rock" - The Smashing Pumpkins "Black Sunshine" - White Zombie "The Metal" - Tenacious D "Pride and Joy" - Stevie Ray Vaughan (Encore) 7. Live in Japan "Before I Forget" - Slipknot "Stricken" - Disturbed "3's & 7's" - Queens of the Stone Age "Knights of Cydonia" - Muse "Cult of Personality" - Living Colour (Encore) 8. Battle for Your Soul "Raining Blood" - Slayer "Cliffs of Dover" - Eric Johnson "The Number of the Beast" - Iron Maiden "One" - Metallica "Guitar Battle vs. Lou" (The Devil Went Down to Georgia - Steve Ouimette, original song by The Charlie Daniels Band) Bonus tracks "Avalancha" - Héroes del Silencio "Can't Be Saved" - Senses Fail "Closer" - Lacuna Coil "Don't Hold Back" - The Sleeping "Down 'N Dirty" - LA Slum Lords "F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X." - The Fall of Troy "Generation Rock" - Revolverheld "Go That Far" - Bret Michaels Band "Hier Kommt Alex" - Die Toten Hosen "I'm in the Band" - The Hellacopters "Impulse" - An Endless Sporadic "In the Belly of a Shark" - Gallows "In Love" - Scouts of St. Sebastian "Mauvais Garçon" - Naast "Metal Heavy Lady" - Lions "Minus Celsius" - Backyard Babies "My Curse" - Killswitch Engage "Nothing for Me Here" - Dope "Prayer of the Refugee" - Rise Against "Radio Song" - Superbus "Ruby" - Kaiser Chiefs "She Bangs the Drums" - The Stone Roses "Take This Life" - In Flames "The Way It Ends" - Prototype "Through the Fire and Flames" - DragonForce If you like rocking tunes such as the Scorpions's "Rock You Like A Hurricane" wich i absolutly love and wished for quite some while it would be on a GH someday,Guns'N'Roses's "Welcome To The Jungle" or rock,metal,trash-metal or anything heavy then this is highly recommended.The songlist is very good once again with great songs with a few fillers,also GH is nice to introduce you to some new bands or bands you never heard before.If you wish to live the Rock'n'Roll dream this is as close as it gets!

Great Game, not-so-great controller,
By Kurt Sample - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Guitar Hero 3 Bundle (Video Game)
The gameplay is GHIII is fantastic (The Boss Battles in career mode are a little silly, but they are thankfully optional). The track list is awesome and the songs are extremely well implemented and fun to play.The wireless controller included in this PS2 bundle, however, is a big step backwards from the wired SG controllers bundled with GH I and II. I have experienced several random drops in response from the green and yellow buttons (not due to proximity from the receiver, I was less than four feet from the console). The buttons just stopped working. Also, the whammy bar is much closer to the strum bar, and my fingers on my strumming hand kept getting caught in it. Finally, the tilt sensor on my controller only worked intermittently, which was doubly frustrating because they moved to start and pause buttons directly behind the whammy bar, so the alternate method of triggering "Star Power" (hitting the start button) is almost impossible because you have to take your strumming hand off of the strum bar and bring it up and over the whammy bar. I'm returning the bundle and buying the stand-alone GHIII game, and I'm ordering a wired GH2-style controller directly from Red Octane. 41 of 42 people found the following review helpful

Nothing new, a few flaws, but still fun,
By Susan Benett - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Guitar Hero 3 Bundle (Video Game)
Neversoft's first take on the Guitar Hero franchise really doesn't make any changes to the formula Harmonix created with GH1 and GH2. This isn't really a bad thing since the GH1 and GH2 formulas are so great, but it would have really been nice to see something new for the series. Here's a breakdown of the game:Graphics: The graphics on the PS2 version of the game are really nice and definitely have more detail and flair than with the previous Guitar Heroes. Unfortunately, the frame rate drops and the song slows down and gets a little choppy when you use star power. This is really too bad because I usually try to use star power on the parts of songs that I find difficult and this really messes me up even more than I would regularly. Gameplay/Guitar: The gameplay pretty much follows the old GH formula, except for the fact that the window of time that you can a play a note in has been extended a little bit. This isn't such a bad thing because some of the later levels in the game would be nearly impossible without this small change. The Gibson Kramer guitar that comes bundled with GH3 is the first stab at a wireless controller for the GH franchise and unfortunately it didn't work to well. The first guitar I got was defective and wouldn't connect to the wireless adapter so I had to return it and get a second one, which did work. Since then my new controller has worked pretty well, but once I had to restart my PS2 to get the controller to work. Set list: This is where GH3 really shines. This is definitely the best set list yet. It includes songs like Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones, Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses, and One by Metallica. Nearly all the songs are originals and they all sound really great. This is the best Guitar Hero set list yet. Unfortunately, there are a couple songs which you can only unlock in co-op, so if you don't have a second guitar you'll have to either attempt to play with a regular PS2 controller, or just forget about playing these songs. These co-op only songs aren't small songs either, a couple of them like Suck my Kiss and Sabotage are actually advertised as some of the top songs in the game on the box. Career/Co-op Career: The regular career is exactly the same as the past GH game except for the addition of some little cartoons after every set and three boss battles placed throughout the sets. The cartoons are cute but really add nothing to the game. The boss battles are quite fun and challenging, but since there are only three they don't really make up a big part of the career. Also the songs that you play during the boss battles are only playable in single-player career, so as awesome as it sounds to battle your friend to either Tom Morello or Slash's solo filled battle song, sorry, but you can't. The co-op career is really good and it's really fun to be able to play through the career with a friend. Overall: Guitar Hero 3 is basically the same as GH1 and GH2, it has the best songs of all the GH games, and the controller is flawed but it is nice to be able to play wirelessly. It's too bad that there's nearly nothing new, but it still includes all the fun of the other guitar hero games. 57 of 65 people found the following review helpful

Disappointing compared to GH II,
By shopaholic "shop (online) till I drop!" - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Guitar Hero 3 Bundle (Video Game)
I had to return the GH III bundle I bought because the yellow and orange frets did not work at all. I just thought that I had bad luck and got a bad apple in the bunch. So, I was happy that all of the buttons on the second guitar worked. That is, until a few minutes into the game, the neck popped out a little bit from the body of the guitar and none of the buttons worked. In fact, I couldn't figure out why the buttons wouldn't work for a while. Anyway, after fixing that by popping it back in, I played for about an hour. Tilting the guitar to set off star power doesn't work! I had to shake violently and even then, it would only set off star power intermittently.Not crazy about the set list. But I guess opinions can differ on that. But the pop-up note streak thing (i.e. the pop up that indicates that you have hit a 50-note streak, 100-note streak, etc.) is more distracting than helpful. The battles with the "bosses" are really stupid. My addiction to the game is largely due to the fact that you get to listen to great music while you play a game. But these stupid battles made the game...childish. And it's just frustrating to have to waste my time on something that doesn't really require GH skills. Anyway, the main burn for me is that the wireless guitar that comes with the bundle is AWFUL. AWFUL. I'm going to try to return the whole thing tomorrow. |
