Guitar Hero III rocks the PS2

Graphics - 8/10
For what the game is, you are not buying this game to play for the graphics – though Activision was able to make the animations more vibrant, and a more noticeable experience.
Sound – 10/10
The track list for this game, along with the original recordings (including the reunited Sex Pistols!) is a must have. You will get lost in involvement when playing this game. This is one of the best soundtracks in a game to date.
Gameplay – 9/10
Though under new “ownership”, Activision has taken this game this game down a similar road, but with a new car. With slight improvements in the display hud, the notifications of streaks, and the “star power” activators easier to get, this game is fun. Plain and simple.
Replay Value - 10/10
It will hard not to play this game over and over. This is a worthy sequel.
Overall - 9/10
There are a few new tweaks to the actual gameplay, and it feels a bit easier to play (except some of the very final songs), but this game follows the old saying “if it ain’t broke – don’t fix it”. The song list, along with the new guitar, is stellar. With all the original, or master, tracks that are in this game, it is hard not to enjoy this game if you are a fan of rhythm or music games.
The new wireless “Gibson” guitar is heavier, more durable, and the closest thing to a real guitar peripheral that I have felt. I must say that this is a nice controller, and I did not want to put it down. I applaud Activision’s attention to detail. I highly recommend this bundle.

Overall this game receives about a 6/10. Let's break it down...
Graphics - 6/10
Come on...I can see bumpers smashing in racing games, more blood than I care to see in shooter games, and even chocolate bubbling in the pond in a children's game... and I can't get better graphics than this for my favorite XBox 360 game? Better luck on Guitar Hero 4. The one improvement I have enjoyed is the better display hud (your score).
Sound – 10/10
Some of the songs aren't the greatest sound quality (like Boston) but the sound is as good as Guitar Hero predecessors. Overall the track list was top notch. I'd love to see some more popular songs for some of my less savvy classic rock friends, but overall the music is great and will keep you rocking all night long.
Overall - 9/10
Judging this game against Guitar Hero 1 and 2, it is a better game and worthy of a sequel. However, judging it against the new Rock Band... it loses some appeal because Rock Band offers more options for more people (mic and drums). If you're looking for a game that will give you awesome songs, lots of fun for all skill levels, and a 4-player mode, you should go with Rock Band. (note: the Rock Band guitar sucks so you'll want to use a Guitar Hero guitar)
The new wireless Gibson guitar that comes in the Guitar Hero 3 package is a must have. It's a little easier to hold than previous guitars, I think the buttons are slightly easier to use, and although I thought being wireless might affect some play I can't notice any lag or difficulties.
Excellent game... looking forward to a sequel.

I am very pleased with the seller. I received the product quickly and in great condition. The Guitar Hero came with everything as advertised and the video game worked perfectly. This product came on time unlike the few other times I have ordered things online. Everything was in order and I got what I paid for. I would definitely purchase from this seller again.

Good game...good selection of songs. the career mode is really fun. the two player mode is also fun since you can compete with each other on the same song at the same time.

If you are a gamer - you'll love GUITAR HERO IIIWe all really love this game. It is very interactive, easy to learn, fun to play. What I really like is that it refreshes the classics back into my children's lives. Accomodates enough players for our whole family. Full family fun, our ages are 11-42. I always love things we can all do together and enjoy. A little friendly competition is good, but the laughing far out weighs.

I haven't played a lot of Guitar Hero in General. But I have found it is fun. It does have great graphics and the songs are good as well. I like how they have upgraded the guitar.

ServiceThis item was received in immaculate condition. The price was excellant, but what really stood out was the phone service I received from the company. The people were warm and personable and were very attentive to all details.
Thanks for a job well done.

Guitar hero rocks!Review created: 09/16/08

I like that the guitar has no cord to get tangeled up or accidentally pull out. I dislike that you have to replace batteries in it, rechargeable would be nice. I decided to get this game because I have played it before and it is a good game!

I was very excited to get this for my grandsons 14th birthday. Unfortunately His birthday was after the max return date. The game worked perfectly, but the guitar wouldn't work at all. Ultimately-I had to go buy him a guitar. This made it end up costing way more than buying it at a store.

the guitar did not work and I am still trying to return the item. I would never buy from this company again. I have a non working present for my daughter. It made me for the first time reluctant to buy from ebay.

For the music,and guitar player loversThis game is realy cool. sure does feel like you are playing a guitar. Wireless is the best way to go.Only hard thing about it is reaching all buttons.

No dislikes so far. I bought it for my grandchildren and found it to be more entertaining than i had expected. The nice plus to this is that two of my grandchildren are now interested in playing a musical instrument other than the guitar.

Why GH3 is AWESOMEThis is the 3rd installment, and by far the best. It has the most song, the best bundled guitar, and the most in-game options. A great buy.

KIDS OF ALL AGES LOVE GUITAR HERO!!OF ALL OF THE GAMES I BOUGHT OVER THE YEARS MY KIDS PLAY WITH THIS THE MOST. MY KIDS AGES ARE 17,14 AND 12. MY OLDEST ASKED FOR THIS FOR HER BIRTHDAY. EVEN I TRIED IT. ONE THING THOUGH MY DAUGHTER SAID THE WIRED ONE IS BETTER BECAUSE THERE IS NO DELAY BETWEEN HITTING THE BUTTONS AND IT SHOWING UP ON THE SCREEN.
