Guitar Hero III

So I realize I'm a few weeks behind the rockstars that had the game the day it came out, but I've rocked out with the latest Guitar Hero title and it brought me right back to loving the game. Without too many things to say and still being new to the video game, I wanted to give some initial thoughts and hear some of your impressions as well...

1. I'm glad the powers that be, did not make everyone buy new guitars. The new wireless ones are cool, but already having two guitar would have probably made me NOT buy the game because of the extra $100 you'd need for the game specific guitars. I'm glad that these games are playing fair.2. The song list is fun again. There's so many classics, but I'm a huge Killers fan and I also enjoyed the AFI track they threw out. I hope the downloadable songs will be a bit newer since the original playlist seems fairly heavy with classics. With so much music around the world, I wonder when you'll be able to download a song and their software will convert it into a playable track...now that would be cool!

3. I noticed the developers realized that we're too busy playing the notes to look up on the screen, so they've placed most of the information items on the bottom half of the screen which I thought was intuitive.

4. The story line is fun and thought the jail house rock was cool.

5. I think the worst feeling in the world is when you're approaching a perfect run and towards the end you strum a note too early or hit the wrong button accidentally! To me, there is nothing more evil that that

6. I've joined the official community for this game and you're welcome to do the same by visiting the Guitar Hero 3 Official Site. Here's my account so far: The GoG Guitar Hero 3 Account

Overall, I'm back to loving Guitar Hero. I assume downloadable songs will continue to be released and I hope they can reduce the cost for those as well. I also hope the competition that Rock Band and the other music-surrounding games will force the development teams to stay on top of things and continue giving us what we love!

FYI-Make sure to check out the dumb little video of me playing Guitar Hero 2 in my Video Gallery...the point is for you to see the sweet GoG skins we have available for your own guitars!
