Guitar Hero III Thoughts
I finished off Guitar Hero III’s career mode on Medium this weekend. I know, I’m not that good at Guitar Hero, but I am getting better. I also played some co-op on Live and had a blast. I was going to write up a full review, but frankly, I’ve only got enough time right now to go over a few things.
First, I’m really enjoying Guitar Hero III. There is a good mix of songs. Maybe it is just me, but it seems like on Medium difficulty is a little harder than it was on Guitar Hero II. There are more notes and more hammer-ons and pull-offs. Personally, I like it this way and it makes it more rewarding when I play a song well.
Second, I’m not a big fan of the Battle Mode. It really breaks the flow of the game for me, but with the strategies I posted the other day I did not have any trouble with beating any of the bosses in the career mode within a try or two. No spoilers here, bit I actually beat the final boss on the first try and had a lot of fun playing that song.
My only complaint with the game right now is the lack of co-op career mode over Xbox Live. Since some of the songs can only be unlocked in co-op career mode and I don’t have any friends locally who have Guitar Hero III I don’t have a way to unlock those songs except by using the cheat codes that can be found around the net. I’d rather unlock them honestly, but I’m not buying a second guitar or waiting for my friends to get the game.
I’m looking forward to what downloadable content there will be for Guitar Hero III, but I really hope they figure out a better pricing structure than the 3 games for $6 they did with Guitar Hero II because I’ll not being paying $2 a song.
I'm an tech fan and avid gamer. Looking to have some fun and try new gadgets.
