Game of the Month

Guitar Hero III; Legends Of Rock



As the host stated "It all depends on preference"
This is the best Guitar Hero out of the series, consisting of four games, the rating of 8.5 is good but in my personal opinion it deserved a 9.

Tracklist
The tracklist is the best we've seen in any rhythm based game and is a step above the rest. With bands like; Metallica, Slipknot and Disturbed theres no way you wont enjoy sitting back and rocking out with your buddy's
I give the tracklist a 8.5/10

New Features
The new features in the game are a excellent addition and without them would make the game seem like Guitar Hero II all over again. The best new feature would have to be battle mode. Being able to verse your mates and actually have an effect on the way they play without grabbing their controller is more fun then it sounds. Also the new boss battles gives the game more of career feeling as you travel around just to beat these guys, although there are only three real boss battles and only two being real guitarist, Guns & Rose's Slash and Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello, it is still one of the best features in a game.

New Control
Another new feature added by Neversoft was a new control for both the Xbox 360 & Playstation Consoles (Also the Wii). The new guitars are smoother, heavier and a lot easier to play. There are two designs, the Xbox Black Gibson Les Paul and the Playstation Gibson Kramer. The Les Paul looks a lot better and apparently plays better too.

Characters
While Neversoft decided to take away some old favorites they also added some new characters and completely revamped them. The characters look insanley real and even play in exact motion with the guitar. The new characters and just random rockers but also consist of people like Lou the Devil and The God of Rock.


Other then these few things and the enhanced game play its very similar to Guitar Hero III but still so much better.

I suggest punters play the first two games before preparing to take on this version
This game is well designed and an excellent party game.
Remember kids, don't knock it till you try it

Peace to all
