Endless Fun July 10, 2008
It is almost impossible to get bored with this game, and if you are an Xbox Live subscriber you have access to a plethora of downloadable content not included in the game disc. The only drawback to the downloadable content is that you have to have an Xbox Live GOLD Membership (the one you have to pay for) and a lot of the songs will cost you money as well, though there are a fair amount of free songs available too.
If you don't have Xbox Live there is no need to fret! There are over 70 playable songs on the game itself. There is enough diversity in genre that there is something on here for everyone. I find myself playing certain groups of songs over and over, simultaneously enjoying the songs and trying to improve my scores. Certain songs are only available once they have been unlocked on co-op mode. So find a friend and another controller! New to this version of Guitar Hero is 'Battle Mode' which allows you to obtain different attacks instead of starpower while you play. You can then tilt your guitar and hit your friend with one of these attacks, such as the dreaded double notes. This game variant can be quite fun, although you'll find that you will only get through about half a song before you take out, or are taken out by your friend. You can also play that and the other multi-player variants on Xbox Live if you don't have another guitar and/or a friend.
Having the wired guitar really is no drawback to its wireless cousin either. In fact, I prefer it as you don't have to worry about having charged batteries. The cord is long too. You can stand/sit a descent distance from the screen without tugging it out of the plug. And if for some reason it does get unplugged the game automatically pauses, so you won't fail a song while scrambling to get it plugged back in. Not to mention going wired is a little cheaper.
Please note, that this game can get extremely difficult when playing on expert. (When they say 'Expert' they mean it!) Some may find themselves stuck playing on lower difficulties in order to beat the game. This doesn't make the game any less fun and you'll find that as you play more and more you will get better and begin beating songs you once couldn't. Plus you can always go to 'Practice Mode' and slow down the songs so you can figure out the mess of notes they are throwing at you.
Oh, and do not purchase this game thinking it will help you learn a real guitar. By no means will that ever happen. Pressing 5 colored buttons vs. strumming 6 strings with 20 or so frets are in no way related! Most real guitarist don't even like this game, though I play guitar and still love playing this!
Awesome game, tons of fun June 17, 2008
This was my first guitar hero purchase. I love the game so much that I went back and bought GHII. The graphics are better than GHII and it has a lot of really great songs. It seems harder than number two so be up for a challenge.
Worth every penny! May 21, 2008
I had been waiting for my son to save enough money to buy guitar hero III because I wanted to play it too. When I saw the deal on Amazon, I decided to purchase it myself. It is totally addicting! Everyone in our family from age 8 to age 45 love it! I would also recommmend buying an additional guitar to go head to head.
The kids love it May 12, 2008
I bought this as a gift for one of my grandson's for his birthday
He wanted it and since I purchased it at christmas for one of my other grandson's I knew he would like it. The other kids play it all the time.
Also the price was good and he received a fast delivery.

this game is definatly one of my favorites, the best thing is on xbox the guitar will play on rockband as well. on ps3 however it will not work on both games. i have enjoyed this game for the last month and still am not tired of playing it. if you like rock music this will keep you busy for a while. and after you get tired of the songs you can download more on xbox live. i got the wired version i suggest you get the wireless. the wires drive me crazy. i rate this game high on my list, and its fun for all ages...
