    Every minute of Guitar Hero III has been an exciting experience.

    Aside from the "who the hell thought this was a good idea" boss battles, Guitar Hero III is a must-buy for vets and newbies alike.

    Gamestyle would like to say NeverSoft have done the series proud, but the truth is everything that's great about this game has simply been taken from Harmonix's template, and the new stuff that has been added almost saps the enjoyment back out of it.

    Amazing game but i might be somewhat biased since i loved the first two and being a more serious player enjoy the larger number of difficult songs. The only reason this gets a 9 and not a 10 from me is that the achievements are just terrible. But that's only for the 360.… Expand

    A pretty good start to the Wii versions of the game. Not impressive or fantastic, but it's worth playing most definitely. This was slightly before the very first ROCK BAND was released and Guitar Hero started copying off all their ideas like crazy, so GUITAR HERO is most original at this point.… Expand

    First off, I'd like to say that i think the principle behind guitar hero is good. Its addictive and exiting, great fun to be had on your own or with freinds. The graphics, the characters, the way it's presented and plays is all really great and makes the player feel like a true guitar hero. However, what I object to is the fact that you have to spend 70 quid on a plastic guitar to play the game. I mean seriously, that guitar probably cost barely 5 pounds to make, and they charge you 70 bloody quid! But thats not the worst of it. What I hate most is that the game is basicaly one massive quick time event: there are no gameplay aspects, no physics, no innovations. What you are doing is pressing buttons in time with images that flash up on the screen, and that's something thats been around for years, and can most likely be found for five quid on Xbox Live Arcade. And not only do they have the cheek to release an ENTIRE GAME around this, they also make you pay 70 quid to get a crap little guitar to do it with, when they could have simply had you press A X Y and B on your controler like normal quicktime events do. However, the average nerd's dream is to be a popular rockstar, and clever old Treyarch have worked this out and realised that people will be willing to pay extortionately huge prices for their dreams to be fulfilled. Thats right, fellow videogamers, Treyarch are making money out of your dreams!… Expand
