Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360)

...Ready To Rock?...''' ==It's Guitar Hero 3...Legends of Rock== ===Introduction=== ''''Guitar hero 3 Legends of Rock'''' is the 3rd game in the _'Guitar Hero'_ franchise and undoubtedly the best, as expected. It was released on the 23rd of November in 2007 and was met with high expectations after their success with previous games. In my opinion this game really doesn't disappoint, it provides you with hours of delightful gameplay and defiantly ...

Also 2 other game characters are found either side of him those being _'Judy Nails'_ holding a 'Gibson SG' and _'Lars Ümlaüt'_ holding a 'Flying V' all of which can be bought during the game. This cover really does paint the picture of Rock! Each of the characters on the front are presented well, _'Slash'_ with his signature top hat and dark shades giving him his usual rockish look, whilst the other ...

Review of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360)

Guitar Hero 3 is the latest in the series that lets you rock out to the tunes you love, and is proving to be one of the most popular games on the Xbox 360 so far. It is the first in the franchise to be developed by Neversoft, yet they have hit the ground running. So for all those that love the series and to those who are new to it, Guitar Hero 3 is a great reason to rock out in the living room for all to see. Gameplay Neversoft have tried to ensure ...
...to be recorded just for Guitar Hero 3 and so give the gamers a decent piece of music created for them by the 'Legends' they are attempting to beat. The songs play basically the same, but some fanatical fans may feel the game has been made too easy. This is because the amount of time you are allocated to hit each note has been somewhat extended. Yet it does not play against the game for most of the people that will buy it. It has made it much more ...

Review of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360)

...ignorant to the ways of Guitar Hero until I (rather unfortunately) discovered a friend playing it. I was at that moment, immediately hooked. Guitar Hero is similar to "Dance, Dance, Revolution" in that you listen to music and button sequences fly past the screen. You have to hit the buttons in order, and at the right time, in order to rack up the points. Admittedly this doesn't sound very good, but when you consider that your controller in this ...
...hugely entertaining! With the guitar controller, not only do you have to press the corresponding button at the correct time, you also have to "strum" using the plastic strummer on the guitar. Hit a long note? You can even use the "whammy" bar to create distortion and sustain on those long notes! The way Guitar Hero is developed, as you hit the notes they are indeed "played" on your console. If you miss the notes, no sound is played, therefore the ...

Review of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360)

...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 ...
...and my first experience of Guitar Hero 3 was not very good. I think it's because when you first play it's difficult or at least it was I. I then had another go couple weeks after that and I found that I was much better and I still got beaten by my friend but I was better it was much more entertaining than the last time I played it this was because I was better but I wanted to play it more and more so I went out and bought it and was very impressed. ...

Review of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360)

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. This massive growth in popularity has guitar hero 3 to thank, in my opinion the best game the series has ever seen. 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 ...
...all the concept of the guitar hero series. Basically the idea is to strum notes corisponding to the order which the appear on the screen to play a song with the correct rythm and notes. The player uses a 5 button plastic guitar which a strum button to signify pressing down on strings and strumming them with the other hand. This is an amazingly fun idea and if it's your thing then can be the most addictive and challenging gaming experience that has ...

...played is Beijing Olympics. Guitar Hero, Legends of Rock is the first game in the series to be released with an actual guitar, the two previous had to be played using the controllers which is part and parcel as to why these 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 ...

Its a little similar to how dance mats used ot be and that you foot had to touch the mat when the pad lit up, however you have to strum the correct key as the appear. The game has over 70 different songs that you can choose however you have to start on the first stage and then gradually as you complete various ...

Review of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360)

...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 have ...

Once you have connected your guitar to the XBOX 360 you are ready to play. On the screen is a virtual fret board which is moving colored guitar notes towards you. When the note reaches the line at the bottom of the screen you simply hold down the corresponding ...

...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 ...

...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 ...

Review of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360)

"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 ...
...Hero...or what I've experienced; Guitar Hero III has so much to offer including laughs...even if you're on your own. For example there's the four difficulty settings, Easy (Who would play such a pathetically easy setting?), Medium (Meh, why don't you swap to the banjo?), Hard (It's getting there), Expert (I should really start to learn the real guitar...) You can play those difficulties offline, online and in your own career mode. It's pretty darn ...

...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 choose ...
...along to the tracks and whilst hitting the correct coloured button with the notes on the screen you have to strum the guitar, if you do not hit all the notes you get booed off of the stage. I found some of the tracks a lot easier to complete than others and what more once you get used to them you can introduce harder levels which introduces more colour keys to the game. There are changes to this game from other versions with the note counter, which ...

Review of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360)

...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 ...
...fact that you play a guitar instead of dancing on a mat. The idea is still the same,to hit the notes at the right time. I didn't recognise a lot of the tracks, but there are a few well known ones, but it doesn't really matter about that anyway, as you get to know the ones that you are good at. The only disadvantage is that if you are left handed and the guitar has been set up as a right handed game, it is pretty much impossible to play as the buttons ...

...just can't get enough of Guitar Hero 3! I got it at christmas and even now (March) I'm still addicted to it! It's one of them games whicg makes you feel good when you play, then even when you get sick of it because you're stuck, there's just an urge to pick it back up and have another whack at it. If you're new to Guitar Hero then taking the easy option is best, which is playing the game on easy ... First go you'll be like "Oh my god, oops, gah!" ...
...if you don't have another guitar controller then your friend or you will have to use a normal Xbox controller... which sucks. Then there's multiplayer mode where you can battle a friend or go on Xbox LIVE and either play co-op or a battle with somone on LIVE. Overall I think the game is brilliant, easy to pick up and play after a couple of goes, it's great! Only critisism I've got is that the expert mode is ridiculously hard, but I suppose that ...
