Default Guitar Hero 3

Well, discuss GH3 here.

We don't get GH until like in November in Europe, so I can't really say anything about it.

But I wonder, is the guitar wireless? What batteries do you use?

And uh, the rest of your opinions please.

Because like he said, they're practically the same thing. Why you would think that is completely understandable and 100% logical.

personally i think there are some beauties in there. Theres also a few songs that arent familar to me so arent all that exciting, however I didnt know alot of the GH2 songs at first but they all grew on me. I think they have done a good job on the songs and its sweet that a lot of them are master tracks rather than covers

I have 80 dollar gift card and been thinking of picking this up. I never played any of the Guitar hero's. Would you reccomend this game Nufan and what's the learning curve on it?

I played Guitar Hero for my first time this summer over at a friend's. I always thought GH was made of fail and lose, but when I played it, I fell in love. It was just so unbelievably much fun.

Same here. The only time I have played it is when I tried it on demo a few times at Best Buy. I was thinking about buying GHII awhile back but decided to wait for III. If ever, now is the time!

the song selection is the best of the 3. the songs that you buy in the store suck though. i rented it for ps2 and now that my 360 is back i will probably end up buying it. do you think its worth buying the new guitar or should i just use my current guitar?

Recon I would recommend it but then again I am a fan of the series. Its a blast to be honest solo and is even more fun with some buddies as it just adds to the fun. As far as learning curve goes, it is easy to pick up and play but tough to master. It comes with a tutorial to get you started and easy, medium, hard and expert difficuilty. You should cruise through easy and medium, things can get a bit hairy in tough and expert can be a real challenge.

There are a lot of haters of this game, even on this board, but honestly once you play it does become addictive and loads of fun !

sports, personally I like the new guitar, its a sweet design and heck its wireless. People say who cares about wireless but its just so much more convenient. Just think of the difference between wired and wireless controllers !

As far as the bonus songs yeah they are a little different but this is consistent with the series. They are typically "indie" songs and not so widely recognized as some of the main hits in the game.

Picked it up today, you are right it is really addicting. I am loving the songs that are included. Like you suggested went through the tutorial and playing between easy and medium till get the hang of it. But I have say is great and really fun game.

yah you can play a bunch of different modes head 2 head on live as well as individual co-op songs (1 plays lead, 1 bass). My favorite is the new battle mode, you can use power ups against ur opponent like break their string etc !
