Nintendo Wii - Guitar Hero III Reviews

I am probably the most musically challenged person you would find and my fiance can play any instrument he picks up.  His favorite instrument? guitar, of course.

When I first heard that Guitar Hero III was coming out for the Wii I told him we had to get it.  It would be fun and maybe I could get some practice at keeping time.  He thought it would be lame and that guitar hero would be for people who don't want to take the time to learn to play the real thing.   I told it he was probably right and so it would be perfect for me.

When we got the game and I picked the name for my band, picked...

I recently became addicted to the Guitar Hero video game so I purchase Guitar Hero III for our Nintendo Wii.  I was impressed with the song selection, and I was lucky to find a used copy of it for us at our local video game store.  This would have to be my second favorite out of all of them because the only reason I like the World Tour game better is because it has twice as many songs as any other addition.

The song selection is excellent on Guitar Hero III.  They have quite a few classic songs, as well as a bunch of challenging songs.  This is definately a game for families, as there are several...

The game itself is absolutely AMAZING.  I gave it 5-stars, but honestly I'd only give it a 4½-stars.  The songs are great, but there are a few things keeping this game from being a 5-star game.  Guitar battles in my opinion absolutely ruin the game, in career mode anyway.  Another thing that sucks is that you can't play the guitar battle songs (from career mode) by themselves (as an actual song, not a guitar battle).  I was VERY disappointed and quite annoyed when "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" was only a guitar battle and I couldn't play it without playing it as a battle.

The game also...

OK....  I hate video games.  My son has had his Wii for a little less than a year and I think I have played in a handful of times.  I am not good at video games and I just don't like them.  That being said.  I tried Guitar Hero III.  I stink but I had fun.  I will definitely be playing when he is at school.  It is embarrassing when your 11 year old is better than you are at something. 

This game seems to be very easy to learn which is a must for someone like me.  The songs bring back fond memories and even my husband was very pleased with the song selection.  (he is a music nut)....

My boyfriend recently got the game and we end up playing it together at least once a week. At first I wasn't so sure how great it would be but it is so much fun. The music selection was great and it can get fairly difficult at times. I believe that Guitar Hero 3 is one of the best Guitar Hero's yet. I wish we could maybe put some new songs and have our own really good character design but all in all it's still a great game. With some games I would see that addiction is very bad but Guitar Hero is so much fun you would end up addicted to it.

My son got a early christmas present , he had gutiar hero 2 , so he had to just have this one also , and the wireless made it a plus, so now with both gutiar more then one person can play. at the same time.

 He loves it has nothing bad to say about it , says it is awesome and we enjoy watching him play it and he plays on expert ..

This is the first Guitar Hero that I own and I love it!  The controler works great, I often come home and "rock out".  The tracks are more obsure and more "metal" then I'd prefer..   looking forward to the newest version.
