   I have to admit, I have never played GH I and II since they werent made to Wii. But that summer when me and my brother picked up this game after helping our dad so we could get money was awesome. We did stage performances and perfected our playing. My brother reached nearly to the last song of expert and I started my own expert career. Still today lots of fun with friends due to awesome song list.… Expand

   For all the losers who have criticized guitar hero because it's not "real guitar", you've got to understand that its a VIDEO GAME. Not everyone has the capabilities to get a guitar and play until they are talented. Guitar hero is just a chance for anyone to pick up the controller and have some fun. Now on to the game. I think that its got a good song list, if a bit on the short side, and some of the new features are very welcome. However, compared to newer guitar hero games, it seems a bit bare. Still a decent game and worth getting for guitar hero enthusiasts.… Expand

   Let me begin with a simple sigh. The 3rd Guitar Hero seems to have lost its touch with the charm and mechanics of the first two since activisions take over. For whatever reason, the Wii version feels slightly broken. Compared to the other versions I've played on PS2 and 360, this one seems much more innaccurate. Comparing it to its previous installments, its also much harder, which at first is a welcomed guest, but the final duel with Lou and Through Fire and Flames are down right rediculous, and belong in the bonus songs and go the way of Jordan... which was a much better song than atleast the DragonForce one. If thats not enough, they haven't even announced extra guitar's for the wii, so co-op and its extra songs (MAJOR OVERSIGHT on activision's part) are as good as untouchable, even if only one or two are decent. Beyond all this, its still guitar hero. And guitar hero is fun, even if activision has tried its hardest to screw it up. I suggest getting it on another system or waiting for rockband. P.S. While Guitar Hero is definately not an actual instrument, thats no reason to pointlessly flame its players. Most, if not all, understand that the actual instrument is much more impressive when played, no matter how arrogant some of them may be at times. Heck, the game may even inspire some to pick up the instrument, such as myself... even though I'm heading for keyboards and synths now.… Expand

   Playing this game gives you an appreciation for the consistent art direction and song scoring in Guitar Hero 1 & 2. The list of songs is great, but for some reason they all sound like CRAP compared to songs in the previous games. Why did they change all the graphics just enough to be annoying? Why, when you play a note, is there no audio response at all sometimes? Why is the bass part completely inaudible on some songs? The Easy level is boring but Medium is WAY more difficult compared to the previous versions. There's no consistency at all in difficulty from one song to another. There are huge swaths of songs where you get to hold a note interminably, play the same note repeatedly, or alternate between two notes incessantly. In all fairness I've only played two venues so far. I could end up eating my words and loving this game, but I doubt it. And what the hell is up with the neon stripper pole and the go-go dancer?? Sometimes the song selection makes the game fun despite all these negatives. Collaborative career mode is a nice addition. But overall it feels like the game has nowhere near the heart of its predecessors. I'm just hoping Rock Band will succeed where this game fails.… Expand
