This is the best Guitar Hero game yet.
Gameplay: Awesome! Playing a plastic guitar has never been so much fun! As said before, there are 72 included songs, well paced, great to hear, great to play. The gameplay pretty much goes by you playing notes(5 buttons) at the pace of the icons at fall towards you. Simple, yet amazingly addictive. A new Battlemode has been added, which is pretty interesting and fun to battle the Legends. Online is now included, which brings a new fun and challenging edge to the series.
Sound: Amazing! Best GH tracklist out there. The songs are fast, mean and ready to be played. They are totally fun and the songs are great to listen to. The bands range from the classic Rolling Stones to the heavy nu metal band Slipknot.
Visuals: Pretty nice! The graphics, effects and animations are better. The lip syncing is now actually correct. The venues and the effects are just fun to look at, and that trashy looking singer you've always had now looks a bit more decent :P Also, on some songs, there's this cowboy looking dude who will sing, and when a girl is the one singing, a gal will be the singer, which is a pretty nice touch, since nobody would want the old dude singing a girl's song :P
Controls: 5 buttons, 1 plank looking guitar pick, and a whammy bar. You just have to hit those when prompted. Easy, yet harder songs make your fingers move not to easy :P
Overral: This is the best Guitar Hero game to date. The tracklist is the best out there. The songs may be fast, but they are heck fun to play.
Sure, the new fancy Rock Band is out, alot of people rumored it was a GH killer, but since I've played it, I can assure you, if you want a fast n mean rock game, GH3 delivers. Rock Band is the best party game, in that aspect it's superior, but for a player alone, GH3 is best.
