This is basically the only game I play. I'm a music junkie and I've always wanted to join a band. However, this is the closest I feel like I will ever be. Guitar Hero III is a bit different than Guitar Hero II. You battle bosses every couple of levels, you can play multiplayer online, and the characters are more customizable (sp?). Another slight difference is the screen you see while you are playing. The rock-o-meter is very different, and in my opinion harder to see. When you hit star power...you fill up lightbulbs instead of just a straight meter...which I feel like was easier to see with your peripheral vision (my eyes are usually entranced in the notes coming up). I have a similar problem with the note counter on the left side. There is also a lot more messages popping up while you play (100 note streak!, 200 note streak, and so on). A little annoying in my opinion. Also, when you start up the game, you have to go through so many more little movies (or whatever you call them) in the beginning than in Guitar Hero II. I think you have to "hit any button to rock" like 5 times just to skip ahead to the main menu. And, this is called Guitar Hero: LEGENDS OF ROCK...and in my opinion...there are many songs/bands on the game that I do not think are worthy of that titile. (Form your own opinion). Besides those petty things...I love this game! Anyone wanna play???
