GUITAR HERO 3

#41
I love Guitar Hero as a fun game to have around with friends. I play it with a lot of other music majors as well as people in my dorm. Great party game, because the adjustable difficulty means everyone can enjoy it on some level. I think it's made me a bit of a better guitarist too, just because I'll hear a song in the game and that will inspire me to learn it in real life on my actual guitar. Also a good way to practice finger independence in your left hand if you're playing on Expert.

And for the record, I've beat Play With Me on Expert once or twice. I usually fail at 93%, which is really sad because it's the last downward run right before it gets easy at the end again. For those struggling, the trick is to conserve your star power until at least the last choruses, if you have to use it during the solo then you're screwed for the rest of the song. Oh, and practice on very slow speeds is key. It took me most of an afternoon to be able to work through it.

This is what I was talking about. Just think if you had spent 2 hours practicing your bass.

That's either really up-tight thinking or misinformed thinking.

It sounds like you're assuming we're using guitar hero as a replacement for the real thing.

It's a video game, chum. Nothing more.

Here, I'll make you a deal. The second I replace the focal center of my entire life (my music with an emphasis on bass) with a little plastic controller with five buttons, a little flippy thing, and a whammy bar, I shall cart my ass over to wherever you live and let you shoot me in the face.

Deal?

Hammer-ons and pull-offs are the most obvious improvement. They're much much easier now. Other than that I don't really know what to tell ya.

To add to that, the graphics have definitely improved. A good majority of the tracks in GHIII are now original tracks and no longer covers, and there is a whole new multiplayer element with mini-games in multiplayer now.

I bought the game yesterday at around 2pm and beat it in the same night. :D

I love GH3 and was very impressed in all the improvements. Excellent track list, and I especially liked playing DragonForce at the end when you beat the game. That was FUN! The graphics seemed a bit better too, however I hated looking at the singer. He looks like a mix between Mick Jagger and the lead singer from the band Hinder lol. It's a blast though, and anyone who's never played GH before, start by buying this one!

Agreed, the singer is butt-ugly. Also, any thoughts on whether the player models in the game (speaking from having seen the PS2 version) are encountering the "uncanny valley" phenomenon? The graphics are improved, but it seems to me that the old GHII skins looked better, at least to my eyes.
