What can we say about Guitar Hero 3? Lets start with the good. Guitar Hero 3 is one of those games that pulls you in. Despite the fact it lacks an interesting storyline there is always new songs to unlock while playing in career mode and new levels to play as you improve. You'll battle against bosses such as Slash, Tom Morello, and "Lou". They all have a unique song to play with battle mode enabled. Battle mode is the mode you play with when you try to hit a combination of notes in order to obtain power-ups to mess up your opponent. A few examples of these include broken string, which causes your opponent to continuously push a button in order to repair the string. Another example would be the overpowered amp, in which buttons will cut out and make it difficult to hit all of them. It makes some notes invisible. Overall the best part of Guitar Hero 3 is its ability to addict you. It pulls you in. Once your able to play one of the songs to almost 100% you want to try it a level harder or attempt it again to play it perfectly. You'll continue to play on until you find the right way to play.

Onto the bad. Guitar Hero 3 is more good then bad, but you'll notice a few things as you play through. A few of the problems are linked to the wireless controller. I'm not sure about other system versions, but on the Nintendo Wii a few of the buttons have a delay depending on the remote power and sensor system from the Wii. If you've played enough you'll understand what I'm talking about. It begins to get difficult to complete the song because of the button not reading. You'll get the feeling you know your gonna play it right, but it just doesn't read. Another small problem is the buttons are a bit close together which can cause some finger mashing. Its also a bit difficult for younger children to play.

Overall Guitar Hero 3 deserves respect. Its a great game to play with other people and can be a hit when you have friends and family over because of the excessive amount of older songs. Mostly anyone will enjoy it unless your not completely into the whole rock music genre. Most people like rock to an extent. Guitar Hero 3 is worth a try for you. Plus, the ability to make the sounds of a real guitarist and get the feel of powering up the crowd to enjoy your music just feels great.Its combination of excellent guitar songs and addicting controls create a great game for everyone to enjoy.
