my roommate got this when it came out. I have played for the past couple of days (this is my first time playing a guitar hero game). I must say it's real fun, but it's kind of difficult to transition from real guitar to this. I have been getting 4's on all the Medium setting stages, I hope that's not too bad for a beginner.

Just picked up GHIII for myself today on PS2. I didn't bother with the controller since I already have my GHII controller and I don't really see the point of the wireless. The cord on my wired controller is plenty long enough for me to sit on the couch and play and I don't have a burning desire to rock out from the kitchen. I've been playing on hard and have yet to fail anything other than the boss battles. Morello took me two tries to get past, Slash took three. It seems like the difficulty level on this game has been ramped down quite dramatically over the first two, which I find a bit disappointing. Still, the songs are really cool; it seems like there's a big emphasis on classic rock this time around, which I love because that's the stuff I grew up listening to (Sunshine of Your Love? Paint It Black? I'm there!) Welp, two levels left. Back to it.

Why oh why is the last battle with Lou so stupidly hard? I mean, getting through the song without him fucking around would be a challenge. Having to do it with his stupid attacks and collecting your own attacks to attack him make it downright maddening.
WORST FEATURE EVER. It's too bad, too, because it's kind of a cool cover of the song. Rather be able to play it at my leisure instead of jerking myself off trying to break his whammy bar or whatever. I guess, fortunately, I have expert to do now. Yay expert. |

Just started playing this game this morning. I'm done about 12-15 songs on hard and finished the first guitar battle.
As a quick side note, since when were "the killers" legends of rock? Jeez. They couldn't come up with a better group to add in?! I liked the tune i played in the guitar battle, but i'm still not really a fan of the whole "let's screw up our opponent" mentality.

So, I happened to buy this game on Sunday. Already through half of the songs on expert. I'm not concerned with five-starring any of them at this point. Just trying to to unlock everything. Personally, I don't like the music set as much as GH2 or even GH. And it doesn't seem to be as hard as GH1, either (Of course, neither was GH2). Hopefully that'll change.

I felt like GH1 was the easiest by far. I 4/5 starred everything until the last set on that one and am definitely not getting those results on expert on GH2 or GH3. I'm on set 7 on expert and it's just brutalizing me at the moment.
Oh well, guess back to practicing! |

it's not like guitar. it's like extremely elaborate air guitar. it looks like fun, though, but the gameplay is essentially very simple -- lights come down these little wires that are supposed to be like the music, but the programming on that is not very intuitive, and you hit the same color button when the right color light comes on. it's sorta like that game where you step on the colored lights (you know the one! that one that makes everyone a spastic stomping cokehead) but with your fingers instead of your feet. and you get to hold a plastic guitar and look cool. and frankly, air guitar is a helluva lot better and more fun than actually playing a real guitar in a rock band -- because they're LOUD and the least fuckup gets projected across the bar, where every inebriated co-ed hears you fuck up rancidly. turns out they dont care cuz theyre drunk and tone-deaf but still, it's wounding to one's pride. der, DDR is the foot-stomping thing. it's only in the post i quoted.

Gotta love Guitar Hero 3. If anyone wants to play sometime and you're on xbox live, look me up, my gamertag is DJ Wunder.
72% done with Expert difficulty, but think I'm gonna get through Hard first just so I have the stats on guitarhero.com. How's everyone else doing with this game? |

I'm on the final tier of both Hard and Expert. I can't beat One or Raining Blood on either difficulty. These songs on Hard rival any other song on expert. One is just annoying because it takes so dang long to get to the hard part. At least raining blood fails me early

Raining Blood gets QUITE a bit more manageable once you get through around the 30% mark, since the riffs get easy enough to reliably collect star power and blow through the hard parts. Keep at it! |

Guitar hero, easily one of the most fun games Ive owned in decades. Im not sure why I like it, but when your playing on expert or hard...Ifeel like a rock star

Am I the only one who thinks that Guitar Hero 3 sucks?
The interface lags, but not consistently enough that it can be calibrated for (the calibration screen doesn't lag at all.) Random strums are thrown into streaks of what should be hammer ons and pull offs. The hard songs on expert are a bunch of wankery rather than an attempt to mirror the real guitar parts like they were on the first two. Overall, playing the game seems like an ordeal rather than fun, and for the most part it's a bunch of getting through stuff to get to songs we like. I'm glad one of my friends bought it and let a bunch of us play it at school so we didn't have to make the mistake for ourselves. I hope Rock Band is as good as it looks so we have a new party game. |

I've heard that it's the wireless controller that is causing problems, not the game itself. I'm almost done hard and haven't had any problems with my GH1 guitar. Quote:

I would cheat my way through that set in a second to get to set eight, because I WANT to practice those songs and learn to play them and beat them legitimately. Doubt I'll ever beat Lou on hard or expert, because it's just not worth the time. |

Another question: does it seem to anyone else like the boss battles were more of a "hey, we have these guys on board, what can we do with them?" rather than a planned-out process with product testing leading to the inclusion of the feature?
