I had thought this would be the dumbest game ever, since it looks like a glorified DDR. One of my friends urged me to pick it up. Friday was my 30th birthday so I figured what the hell. Traded in a couple of crap games and picked it up for my PS3.

OMG I love this game. It's as addicting as crack. I can't stop jamming on it. Black Magic Woman, One, Welcome to the Jungle, I can't stop playing.

Soon I'll end up like the South Park kid.

 

I'm torn between this and Rock Band...I've read that GH3 is great, but Rock Band has a drum set and a better playlist. Of course, its like $80 more expensive too...

 

I beat it on regular and about done with it on hard which is impossible. have no idea how people play this thing on expert though.

 

What's wrong with DDR?

Guitar hero is tons of fun, can't wait till Rock band comes out.

The songs also have 'free form' sections where you just jam out and play
anything you want. That'll be hilarious, can't wait to start flailing wildly on
the drums and scream 'ANIMAL!!!! ANIMAL!!!! ANIMAL!!!!!!!!'

 

A lot of song on medium are fucking impossible. I beat it on medium...but I cant master a lot of the songs. I have no dexterity.

I just bought the velvet revolver and foo fighters songs packs from xbox live last night.

 

GH is addictive in general, I've beaten GH2 on easy, medium and hard, working on rock the 80's right now, but really just wanna play 3. I only have a PS2, but will def be grabbing it up

 

I'm sooo close to finishing medium with 5 stars on all the songs - Knights of Cydonia is friggin annoying with the hammer on sections!

I am only 2 song from beating Guitar Hero 2 on Hard! argh

 

"Just listen to that video crowd!"


But yeah, this game is real addicting. I downloaded the Demo about a week ago and played it for 4 hours straight knowing I had to go to work later that morning.

I also played it in the store with the guitar as well.

I haven't got it yet but I'm planning on getting it soon. I first just have to come to terms with paying $100 for a video game.

 

Im in love with this game. my roomate and his girl were jamming all night on it too. seems harder than GH2 though but i never really got into GH2 all that much

 

I play the career on Hard, got up to "5. Making the Band" or something like that. I manage to get 5 stars on most songs, got 4 on "Barracuda" and something else though.

I usually play on Expert though. It just takes a lot of practice really. Pay attention to the tutorials that they have, its impossible to complete the harder songs without hammer-ons and pull-offs.

Back in March I first picked up GH2 and it was a challenge for me on normal with certain songs. Now I can play most songs on Expert and get at least 80%. We have a GH2 in the breakroom at my work, and I've played GH2 almost every break and lunch since I started working there..... so just keep on playing, and just try that next difficulty level even if you fail miserably the first 10 times, eventually you'll master it.

 

Dude, stop putting up pictures of yourself playing Guitar Hero!

 

If there's a mac person out there who wants to buy GHIII, I'll buy the PC disk off of you
(maybe for $30?) The game comes with both the PC and Mac versions, and I don't need the guitar as i already have one.

The system requirements for such a simple game are totally ridiculous, but oh well.

FYI, for anyone who bought the PS3 version, DO NOT go out and buy the older PS2 Games!

I just picked up GH1, GH2, and GH Encore, and none of them work with the GH3 guitar!

Also, I have heard that the GH3 guitar doesn't work with Rock Band either...

 

GH3 guitar does NOT work with Rock Band on the PS3...yet. There's talk of a patch to allow it, but nothing's been confirmed.

Stupid if you ask me. The 360 controller works with it.

 

The PS3 Rock band problem is surely some sort of QA screwup.
There's no way they can't patch it. As it stands now, they are selling
the Rock Band PS3 'game only' which is unplayable with any guitar instruments!

Someone posted that Redoctane/Harmonix got blasted with so much hate e-mail for this that they are working on a patch in conjunction with Sony.

We'll see.

 

It's def harder than 2, by far, the hard and expert sections in 3 are insane

 

hard owns me

 

I just started playing a few weeks ago. I DLed the game for the wii and was playing with the wiimote My GF instantly loved the game, so much that we went to walmart at midnight and SHE bought the bundle with the guitar

The game is so fun, everyone loves to play it. Its fucking hilarious watching my friends and family try to play the game. Heres my mini collection of people rocking out.


cousin on thanksgiving


uncle on thanksgiving


dad using star power


gf (shes actually pretty good)



But now I got a 360 for xmas and picked up rock band for $130, and I must say Rock Band > Guitar Hero

 

Im sooooo close to beating GH3 on expert

 

Must get for xmas

 

That very last boss battle on Hard owned me, I don't think I'll last on Expert career.

 

We could battle online

 

Asked for 3 for xmas, think gf got it for me

 

GH3 is the only thing I asked for Christmas; my mom told me she already got it. I bought GHII in the meantime.

 

I just got Rock Band a couple of days ago for the PS3. I need friends who live closer to me! lol

We should jam online sometime.

 

Ok.. after I finish banging your wife

 

What sucks is that Guitar Hero 4 has already been confirmed, so downloaded content for GH3 will be slim to none.

 

So...we finally grabbed the last Guitar Hero III from our Best Buy. Ive never played this or any game like this before. Sat up last night for hours.

And finally being better at a video game than my boyfriend feels great.

 

 

Finally a response! 6 days later...

 

Any watch Yahtzee's review on Zero Punctuation...?

 

Picked this up yesterday. My sister and brother-in-law came over and we played it for 5 hours straight!

Fun game, but it will lose it's appeal quickly I'm sure. That's why I'm keeping the box and everything so I can sell it....

 

Just curious but what difficulty are you playing on? I have only done Medium on GH2, so I have a long way before I'll get tired of GH2, but I'm supposedly getting a bonus today, so depending on how big it is, I may pick up GH3 tonight

 

Now don't go spending all your money you are going to owe me $50 on Monday.

 

It wont be worth much - esp with Rock Band out.

Id keep it to occupy people who come over and want to play.

 

Has anyone else looked at the carpet after playing? Thats some freaky stuff!

 

We will see..

 

We had a couple friends over and played for hours. We thought there was a gas leak because the walls were breathing.

 

Def does cool things to your vision when u look at walls, animals, floors, or anything really

 

Looking up at textured or popcorn ceilings is crazy!
