 Now I too can be a guitar hero!! October 28, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
this is my first guitar hero game as well and I love it! Snap the Wii remote right into the guitar and go!
the graphics are awesome and the music selection is phenomenal. I was soooooo happy when I finally unlocked Metallica's One and Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast!
Battle mode looks to be really fun, but you can't buy an extra guitar yet. I read that you could play others online, but couldn't find any info on that feature in the manual.
Regardless, I will be in front of my big screen tv for a very long time rocking guitar hero 3!!
---after playing for a few days, I found the on-line setup right on the main menu. It is easy to connect. This game is just so much fun!!

This game ROCKS! The set list is pretty diverse and the wireless guitar makes it easy to live out your fantasy of being a "Guitar Hero". I don't understand all the people complaining about the game not being in true stereo. I have a pretty older Sony HDTV and when I crank up the volume it sounds great! I just hope that in future installments that Activision includes a few more Boss battles. Maybe Clapton, Richards, Joe Perry, Paige, David Gilmour......... Sweet game! Online play works really good too.

I won't bore you with a long, drawn-out review. Guitar Hero III for the Wii is AMAZING! The rumbling guitar is awesome. Haven't tried online game play, but I'm sure that'll be sweet, too. Glad I reserved this game and got it on the day it came out!!! Highly recommended for Wii owners!! And I can't wait for the additional controllers to come out!! Rock on Wii Nation!!!
 My First GH, My First Day in what looks to be An Addictive Experience (Bring GH2 out 4 the Wii) October 28, 2007

I got GH3 the day it was released. This is the first time I've ever played the game, so I played it on easy. With watching the tutorial, taking breaks to eat or whatever, it took me a little less then 7 hours to beat it on easy.
I was tired becuase I got it at midnight and I wanted to stop but it's very addictive, you want to play one more song or beat one more boss, yes bosses! There are three boss battles in the main game against Rage Agains the Machine's Guitar player, against Slash from G n'R, and against Lou (The Devil).
Basically you pick a character, from six availible, and you join a rock band and progress through their career. Basically you play three songs and then the crowd demands an encore, and you can refuse to play and leave but I never did, and you can play a four song after which you'll see a cut scene. The cut scenes are really good animation but they are very short which is probably fine but I wouldn't have minded more of a story and some voice acting may have made it better but that wasn't necessary.
To play a song you push one of five bottons which are your five strings and push the pick lever and you'll hit the note. On easy you only use three strings, or three bottons. With the Wii version unlike the other two you actually insert your Wiimote controller into the back of your guitar and you can see and touch the front of the Wiimote from the front of the guitar, which probably saved the manufactures money on making the device wireless but it also has a fuction, when you miss a note, during a song, or play when there just isn't a target there you hear a missed string sound come from the speaker on your Wiimote controller, which is kind of cool I guess (I don't believe any other versions have a speaker on their guitars).
The game isn't really hard on easy, which makes sense, but for new players it's probably where you'll have to begin. I believe I beat every or almost every song I played on my first try. The boss battles are a little more difficult but not a lot with it taking three tries for each of them. The battles which can also be played verses another player or online verses other human opponents may be fun for a while but the gimmicks you use to battle with don't seem like they will have much lasting appeal. Basically in the battles the screen is split in two with each player having a side and instead of getting Star power, which is a power up in the one player mode, you get attacks like upping the difficulty for example from easy to medium which adds a string/buttom, or flipping the oppents color buttoms/strings on screen upside down, or making the notes flash making them easy to miss, another you have to shake your Whammy bar, and broken string where you must puss the string bottom repeatedly to repair the string, oh and there is a death blow too which kills your opponent I guess.
The lasting appeal is that you can get better scores, beat it on different difficulties (with all the buttons/strings used), and unlock new characters or guitars or songs to play in the freeplay mode. Personally I wish they would have taken the 30ish songs you can buy with cash you earn in the game from playing gigs and instead of just having a buch of songs that can just be played for fun, they would have instead made the game longer. After beating the career mode even on easy there is a minor loss of coolness to it all, but only minor, I'm still going to be playing this thing for a long long time.
Oh I wanted to mention the graphics too, on the Wii the graphics are amazing, possibly even to amazing because on some of the levels they are so beautiful and bright and there is so much to look at you can become distracted, especially for example during songs like Santana's Black Magic Woman where you hold notes for a really long time and in the backgroud your band is rocking out at their desert gig reminisent of Burning Man. I'm not saying it's a coplaint, I'm sure I'll get used to it but people who have played other guitar heroes might think there is too much going on in the backgroud, I don't know.
Finally I am annoyed that the songs with words someone somewhere deems inappropriate are censored, I've never been a fan of art being censored and despite their wanting a Teen rating I still feel it's a undesirable practice. It's not that I wish to hear those words, it's that I believe Art should be experienced the way the Artists created it to be experienced.
Which leads directly into another minor personal complint, the Dead Kennedys is my all time favorite punk band and they have a song in GH3. Or at least you're suppose to believe they do, that guy singing that song isn't Jello Biafra the lead singer of the Dead Kennedys, it's his words but not his voice, and there are probably legal reasons why it's not him, but I wont go into it.
This is an amazing fun experiece, think DDR for your fingers except with rock, very addictive and cool. It's not the cheapest thing out there but you'll have hundreds of hours of fun playing through this trying to unlock and buy everything and master Expert mode.
Now will the creators of Guitar Hero PLEASE RELEASE GUITAR HERO 2 on the Wii (I need more and I want to play those songs)!!
