...never played any of the guitar hero series games before until Guitar Hero 3 came out. I got into the guitar hero series because I had been to a Guitar Hero 3 party and my friends had it. I had hured of the series but never played it until then. I first played it then and was not overly impressed. When I first played the game it was really new to me and as fun and exciting that it looked when other people were playing their favorite songs on expert ... Read review

Advantages: Great song list - fun gameply - nice visuals
Disadvantages: expensive download content.

Ever since the first guitar hero game was released a few years ago the title has exploded into one of this generations most popular games.

It's difficult to review a single game in the series without taking into account all of the others, since all of them rely on the same simple concept, so i will break this review down to include ...

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...did not take off and Guitar Hero 3 did, purely because its a lot more fun when you can acually get into the swing of things, and pretend you are actually on stage. The Game There are several options in whcih you can play this game, you can create a solo career where you play on your own or you can create a band where 2 people can play together. It is more fun when you play with someone else, thats why we have two guitars and we can play together. ... Read review

Advantages: Online play and easier pull offs and hammer ons.
Disadvantages: Track list is hardly "Rock" few songs are likable. Guitar Hero 2 is better

...on the Xbox 360 was guitar hero 2, such a great game. For some reason Neversoft got hold of the rights and, in a way, have turned guitar hero 3 into a failure. Of course guitar hero 3 was always going to well whether the game was any good or not, simply because of the greatness of guitar hero 2. Please just read this review before buying guitar hero 3. THE GAME If you have never played a guitar hero game then this is how the game works. You ... Read review

Advantages: Sound and Graphics.
Disadvantages: Value for Money.

...and Yellow frets. On the Guitar Hero controller these buttons are colour coded, but on the xbox 360 gamepad the Green fret is the Left Trigger, Red is the Left Button and Yellow is the Right Button (for later on stages, blue is right trigger and orange is the 'A' button). Most of the guitar parts are missed out in this difficulty to make it 'easy'. Even though more notes are added as you go down the setlist to make it harder. After you have completed ... Read review

...games in order to get Guitar Hero 3. I had heard so many good things about it I thought I had to buy it, and after enjoying similar games like Dancing Stage Unleashed I thought now was the time. The game came with a Wireless Guitar Controller and a free face plate for the guitar as well as the game. Connection of the guitar to the console was easy involving pressing the connect button on the console and holding down the big X button on the guitar ... Read review

Advantages: The addictivness!!!
Disadvantages: The graphics?

"Hey, I know let's play Guitar Hero! Through Fire and Flames on Hard!" "Why not expert?" "Because it's impossible!" The friends begin to play together and have a good laugh, one boy chuckles before saying, "This game's only good when you're playing with others. It's rubbish when you're on your own~" REWIND. Many of my friends think it's gonna be rubbish if you played it by your lonesome. I don't know about your friends but loads of my friends think ... Read review

Advantages: great
Disadvantages: could do with better song selection

...ever invented. With a wireless guitar this could not be any better this game is guaranteed to have you singing along and tapping your toes. The graphics are fantastic although with you concentrating on the guitar and the buttons you hardly notice the graphics and with great tracks from Rolling Stones, Paint It Black, Guns N Roses, Welcome To The Jungle, Kaiser Chiefs, Ruby, The Killers, When You Were Young and many more rock anthems besides to ...

Advantages: Fun, different, great for parties, different levels
Disadvantages: A lot of unknown tracks, need to reset for left/right handed

...played any of the other Guitar Hero games so can't say whether it is better than the first two. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it or not, but after my first couple of goes I really got the hang of it and I was hooked. You don't even have to really like rock music, it's just about the skill of pressing the buttons and strumming at the right time. It can get very competative, and it's a great feeling when you get loads of notes correct ... Read review

Advantages: Great songs, Fun for all the family
Disadvantages: Possibly too addictive?

...to play in the entire Guitar Hero series and will provide a challenge for anybody willing to try, luckily though if you are looking to complete the game beating this behemoth of a song isn't a necessity as it comes as a bonus. For those sceptics amongst us who would assume this game would be childish or boring, I ask you to play it, I felt the same way before playing but after it I realised just how great and fun an experience the game is, you ...
