A solid music game that keeps the series fresh.
This game is not much different from the other two Guitar Hero's. You start out with a bunch of easy songs, but every new set throws harder and harder songs at you. Some of the bands in Guitar Hero 3 are Black Sabbath, Guns n' Roses, Dragon Force, Slayer, etc. Some of the songs are really good, but a lot of the songs are either ok, or I never want to hear this again.
Some new features in Guitar Hero 3 are the boss battles. The boss battles are where you play against another person or npc in a series of notes. You get these battle powers instead of star power, in which you attack your opponent. The goal of this game mode is to get your opponent to fail.
The graphics have been updated a bit from the first two Guitar Hero's, but they are still cartoons. Some of the things run choppy, like the drummer moves like a robot.
The sound can be good or bad depending on how much you like the music in the game.
If you liked the first two Guitar Hero's then you will like Guitar Hero 3.
