My kids have been wearing out the Guitar. They love the game and have been looking forward to the Aerosmith version. My only negative is the wish for more songs. Great product overall.

I ordered this for my niece as a gift and she received it quickly and was very happy with it. I should have bought stock in Wii as i've turned all my family members on to it. This was received packaged well and in record time. Thanks so much!!

Rock Out...

2008-07-09
This is a great game. If you were a fan of Guitar Hero 2, you will not be dissapointed. I was very excited when I found out that the Guitar Hero 3 would be coming out for Wii. The guitar controller is easy to use, and the wii-mote snaps right in.

The only complaint I have so far is that the last song on the Hard Level is damn near impossible.

This game rocks!!!

2008-07-08
A definite buy!!! The playability is great and you just can't put it down!! I play it with my wife all the time and she is not a gamer but is addicted to this!!!

5 for the guitar, 3.5 for the game.

So far, every game in Guitar Hero has been immensely addictive, but each has had its own flaws: the first had a decent musical selection with fairly good covers, but the clunky Hammer-on/Pull-off system for fast notes ruined the experience on higher difficulties. Guitar Hero II fixed this problem, but was comprised mainly of poor-quality cover versions of great songs.

Enter Guitar Hero III. Most of the music tracks are now master recordings, but the art direction and the layout of the song charts have suffered under the franchise's change in developers. On the Wii, this is especially noticeable because of the system's inability to process graphics above the resolution of 480p. Fortunately for the game, this doesn't significantly detract from the experience, because you'll be keeping your eyes glued to the note chart too much to pay any sizable attention to the background graphics.

The game's difficulty curve is also one step forward and one step back--having played both Guitar Hero II and III, I can safely say that the transition from Medium to Hard difficulties will be a lot smoother for most people, as Medium now introduces Hammer-on sequences early and often; this will be beneficial to casual players who want to alternate between Medium and Hard most of the time when they play, as the only major obstacle they will have to overcome is learning the fifth fret button. However, Hard and Expert difficulties suffer from severe balancing issues--song difficulty remains fairly lenient until it hits a brick wall 80% into the game.

Battle mode is another case-in-point of positive and negative traits: while the concept sounds good on paper, attack powerups will almost always kill a player instantly on Hard or Expert, and will almost never have an affect on a player on Easy or Medium. It would have been a good idea to put a handicap on these power-ups so that their duration is reduced for players on these higher difficulties. Also, I didn't enjoy being forced into playing these battles in Career Mode--especially the final boss, because of the match's rigor compared with the rest of the songs on the same difficulty level.

The one immensely positive thing about Guitar Hero III, though, is the redesigned Les Paul controller--virtually anyone who has played the previous two titles can attest to the fact that the new one has a stronger strum bar and buttons, a more sensitive whammy bar, and is just overall much better than the instruments for Guitar Heroes I and II.

LOVE IT!
