Brilliant game - while it may get difficult later on you'll find yourself spending hours playing.

I got this game back in January having never even touched a Guitar Hero game before and instantly went to Medium difficulty without too much trouble. I went through Medium without failing a song in the first night i got it before progressing to Hard. It wasn't until the 7th set in Hard where I started to struggle and failed my first song. People say the game is difficult to new players but I somewhat disagree, while the game does require a lot of practice and much later on in to the game with songs like Raining Blood and Through the Fire and Flames it does get insanely difficult. If you start at the lower levels and play through easy - followed by medium you'll probably be able to manage hard, and by the time you're up to the higher end of the Hard Career you'll probably be able to manage the first few sets in Expert. My only annoyance with the difficulty is that Raining Blood should not have been in Career songs, instead as a bonus. I was stuck on it for about 1 month on hard and 2 months on Expert. It's the only song I have yet to get 5* on on hard and only song I've got 3 stars on on Expert.

This game has a great track-list and with download-able content it just gets better with the likes of Muse and Velvet Revolver packs available to download.

As good as the single player is - the most fun can be found in Multiplayer. going head to head in Pro Faceoff can provide hours of entertainment at a time, bring in a group of friends and take turns and you'll wonder what happened to the time.

A few more minor things I dislike about this title: Battle mode is all about luck, and if you're on a higher difficulty against someone on a lower difficulty you'll have a much harder time winning to the point where a newbie can pick up the game on easy and most likely beat you playing on Expert. The Guitar Controller starts to "break" after a short while, while there are numerous fixes for some of the problems they shouldn't be there in the first place and why does the controller come in two parts anyway? The Box is the same size as that of the Guitar Hero 2 box!

Overall is this a very solid game and despite it's very flaws here and there you'll find yourself coming back to it over and over again.
