Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock
Overall: Overall, guitar hero III is a very fun game to play by yourself or with a friend. The only problem with co-op mode is that there are songs that can only be unlocked while playing co-op, this makes it bad for those who don't have anyone to play with. There are so many great songs, some that you have heard of and some that you haven't. This latest installment of the guitar hero series has lived up to its hype and is a very fun and cool way to be a rockstar in your own home. As long as xbox keeps on creating new downloadable songs, this game will be very popular for a long time.Gameplay: The gameplay is very similar to Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) and with its different progressions in difficulty it makes it relatively easy to learn. The only problems I have witnessed while playing guitar hero III is when playing on a HD tv it can throw off the timing between notes and music. In the options there is a calibrate lag option to help with this problem, but it is not always effective.
Graphics: Visually, the gameplay of guitar hero III was not too different than its two eariler predessesors. The band memebers in the background however have been graphically enchanched compared to guitar hero I and II. It is nice however to see the camera pan to different band members when a certain b@!%#*! or drum solo occurs. Visually there is nothing spectacular, but it is certainly enough to make the game pleasent.
Audio: When making a game that is focused on music, you have to make sure that this is where your game really shines. Guitar hero III certainly does excell in the musical department, this is mostly because they were able to get over 50 bands to thier songs for the game. This gives a real feeling to the player when they perform each song, it greatly increases the fun had.
Suggestions: So far I believe that the developers have made guitar hero III just as good as it needs to be all that there is left to do is create more downloadable songs. Developers of the game might also want to think about creating a website where fans can vote for songs to be created, this would probably help create more publicity for the game and also get more people excited about it.
Overall Score: 9.5 / 10
