What are your thoughts on the game?

I thought it was a good game all around, but I only got it today like the rest of you so I might think differently later on.;)

Well since I have all 3 consoles I ended up getting it for the PS3 because well, its quieter than my Xbox360, prolly wont break every 6 months and has better graphics and sound than the Wii.

I can honestly say I've never played a Guitar Hero game before. They always look good to me, I just overlook them always, maybe because I'm cheap. I own a PS2, just never bought one before, how sad.

Coming from a true Guitar Hero fan I thought it was awesome. I beat the Mediumtour about 15 minutes ago. (Yeah, medium, I like to star low to get to know the songs better) There were many songs I really like in the setlist. Also, anyone reading this who likes rock, even only in the slightest, should buy this game and try to play Through The Fire and Flames by Dragonforce. Only then, will you hardly begin to appreciate the skill of true guitarists.

Here in Canada the Wii and PS2 versions are $99.99, PS3 and 360 versions are $110. Probably 10 bucks cheaper for each in the US. Anyway.... my opinion of the game so far is pretty sweet. It's the first Guitar Hero I've ever played. My biggest thought is that I bet it's going to get hard really fast... I can already feel the game like.... forming new synapses in my brain as I try and interpret the game.

Did you calibrate it? I've heard that dust is causing a lot of problems for other buttons like the frets, but I don't know if that applies to the whammy bar. Well, take the neck apart and blow into both connections to see if it helps at all I guess. If that doesn't work, post on the GHIII board and you'll get a way to fix it for sure, I know other people were talking about it. For some of them, it just needed to be "worn in" and it started working all of a sudden after a while.

it's Guitar Hero.......3. It's basically the same as Guitar Hero 2, but with added features/songs. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Gah, I won't be able to get this game until Tuesday, and only if I'm lucky...

Not only that, but afterwards my wallet will be crying for love, and I'll have to work around the house to regain a bit of my cash. xD

I'd like to know what's so great on this game? You wannabe hardcore gamers tell everytime that you are sick of casual/party games and now you're hyping a casual/party game.

IMO, Guitar Hero is bland.

Guitar Hero is no casual/party game my friend. Its a way of life, its intense, it gets you goin, it keeps you awake at night, just watching those little circles fly past on the back of your eyelids. OH no, do not underestimate it's power. You silly silly man.

It's great, I just picked it up today.

I haven't been through all the songs yet, but so far the track list is awesome.

My only complaint is that the lead singer of the band looks extremely lame. And the drummer looks ridiculous, he moves worse than a manequin on strings.

There's a difference between crappy-casual and good-casual. Guitar Hero is the latter for most people. Have you ever tried playing it, or are you too "hardcore" to even bother?

To me, "hardcore" doesn't mean that you only play PFS (or whatever genre is your favorite). What makes you really hardcore is being able to enjoy all genres (as long as the game is good), and not limit yourself to such a small world.

If you took the time to get together with some friends, get a couple guitars outand play a few rounds of Guitar Hero drinking games, you'll see what the big deal is.

Picked up at midnight and I'm loving it. Played for a total of 9 hours today. That's the most time that I've put into a game on a single day in a long time.

It's good, but it just doesn't seem as polished as Guitar Hero II. The Wii version looks absolutely horrible, even worse than the PS2 version of GH II (not that it matters that much, but good graphics are always a plus). It sort of makes me not as excited about buying new costumes and guitars. The song list is good though, and it has a lot of songs. I'd probably give it an 8.2.

The exclusive features of the wii version really stood out in multiplayer.

I picked it up yesterday.

I had played GH games before, but never actually owned one ... GH3 is alot of fun, My roomate and I spent well over 6 hours yesterday playing it. Definitely well worth the money ...
