Guitar Hero III was my first foray into the world of braille guitar. In the very beginning, as a guitar player, it is very strange to hit one button and hear six notes come out. As you increase in difficulty, you get more of a feeling that you are actually playing, because you seem to hit a button each time a note is played. If you have a good sound system, you can almost imagine that you are playing the song live, which is the ultimate experience that the game aims for. Unfortunately, there just aren't enough songs available with the game, or available for download. Also, the game should have come with some of the songs from Guitar Heros I and II, for those of us who have just started playing and don't want to be confined to obscure tunes.
The biggest problem is that there's only so much fun that can be had trying to get better and better at the same exact song that is played the same exact way. Maybe I get bored easily, I'm not sure. I don't understand why this is the new mega-genre. I think Rock Band has more potential, but I won't buy it because it comes with even less songs!
The game, however, is thrilling until you beat it on easy, still kinda fun beating it on Medium, then gets tedious.
