    Kudos to Aspyr for making a great port of the game and keeping all of the important aspects of the Guitar Hero III experience intact, including the online play, which is as simple as jumping into the online menu and challenging other guitar heroes. Still, if you can buy the console versions of the game, you're better off doing that.

    With Guitar Hero 3 from Activision you can feel like a real rockstar - without the need for guitar lessons or changing your hairstyle.

    Everyone got it right where it counts, though, and the third entry into the Guitar Hero franchise is just as fun as ever.

    Guitar Hero III for the PC is a decent game. If you have a PC with the latest hardware and no consoles but you want to play Guitar Hero, you can’t really go wrong here.

    Griper you think that commenting without play the game its a good option?
    Well... Guitar Hero its the same think as Dancing genre, need pract    ice and skill, if you are a noob that never played a guitar or something else, leave the game and aclaim it and cry in your bed.
    Dancing has an EXPENSIVE HUNK OF METAL, and you dance alone because you has no life, no friend and you dont go to partyes.
    Guitar Hero its still great, has good graphics, and its the same thing if you spend money in a console or a video card, when you play EXPERT or HARD difficulty its like playing a real guitar, you need speed and concentration. The game has unlockable items and song like the DDR games. I rated it 10!    … Expand

    my first venture into the world of music games and wasnt sure at $100 for a game but it was worth it. i played the hell out of this game and had alot of fun doing it. the diffuculty setting was abit insane especially for people who are new to this typ of game . it felt like it was for the hardcore fans who played Gh 1 and 2 prior to this game . still i enjoyed it and it has a great track list of some great rock songs not by some crappy cover bands like the first 2.… Expand

    Same Guitar Hero gameplay, removed co-op Multiplayer (WHY?!) added a new songlist (Most of which is terrible, but to each your own.) and upped the difficulty somewhat (Still the same difficulties - Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert but if you've played the previous games you'll notice that they are harder.) Boosted somewhat by it's online capabilities but it's still the same game with minimal improvements. Good for solo or friends play, though there are better things out there.… Expand

    John, the reason why they upped the difficulty is because it's a PC release. When you are upgrading your console to a PC you are inherently upping the difficulty of your gaming, because your playing on a machine that wasn't made for kids still developing their motor functions. This game is nothing like playing the guitar, it is, as Griper said, like DDR with your fingers. It uses a disguised, albeit very effective copy protection method, that is, even if you download the game, you still cant play it without your crappy piece of plastic.… Expand
