Gaming Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

It's similar in some ways, but far far different in others. To those who don't play guitar, the similarities are more glaringly obvious, because the very basic elements of playing the two become so fundamental to even a crap guitar player tbh.

Not as difficult as a real guitar, but definately good fun. A lot of people criticise it for being a bit ridiculous, but it allows novice guitar players to play songs they could never learn if they have limited talent.

 

Hmmm, I wonder if the PC guitar is compatible with FoF

 

This game is the mutts nuts, been playing it all day, sped through the medium career and my fingers are ready to fall off. Haven't noticed any problems with the guitar apart from the fact you can't use the rechargeable packs and are forced to use AAs

 

anyone try the downloadable songs that came out i think the day the game was released or a few days after? or is that just on PS3?

 

Just noted this:

"I can manage the intro to Smoke On The Water and I can struggle through Monkey Island theme tune on a banjo, but that’s it. "

Can I have that signed Joe? You guys have no idea how long I've lived with Joe informing me he "taught me everything I knew" about the Guitar, swearing he was God's gift to music. Even if he can't actually play Smoke on the Water (he adds an extra note towards the end of the riff).

 

No, you can't - now go back and keep practicing.

Nobody listen to him, he's a guitar n00b. In fact, I taught him everything he knows.

 

I have no problem with the tilt on the GH3 controller, its actually a lot more responsive than the GH2 controller (Wired).

I much prefer the GH3 controller to the GH2 controller mainly because of this, it being wireless and that the back/start buttons are better placed.

I did find GH3 much better than GH2 because on GH2 you never knew when you could play two notes without strumming, on GH3 the next note that you can just move to without strumming is highlighted for you. This makes those really long and annoying solo's much easier.

I've not tried online play yet though, anyone fancy giving it a go?

 

The notes on 2 are marked for hammer-ons, but they're very difficult to see at a glance. Look at the ring of black around the top, between the white bit and the main colour - if it's there it's a strum, if not it's a hammer.

You really have to know the song, and to some extent have a bit more actual guitar knowledge (they're placed at least semi-realistically for most songs) to get to grips with the hammers though tbh.
