 Some flaws, but overall a fantastic game |
| Review Date: November 11, 2007 |
| Reviewer: J. McCormick, |
I come to Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii having played Guitar Hero 2 on the PS2 at Expert difficulty. Sometimes formula can be a terrible thing, other times it's not. This is one of those "not" times.
The game plays basically the same as its predecessor, and on top of that it's got a better set list. After reaching 5-star level on nearly all the songs at Expert difficulty in Guitar Hero 2, I found that the list of songs that I really just loved playing was very small. That's not so much the case with Guitar Hero 3, which has a larger pool of songs that are both fun to play and to listen to.
There are flaws, though. It seems to me that the new developers chose that they needed to tweak the Hammer On/Pull Off reins a small, and the result of this tweaking was that there were many times right owing to the game where I on impulse didn't strum because two notes were close together, but one of the notes puzzlingly required you to strum. Even if this increases the difficulty, it feels trying to maneuver and forced (you could, after all, just do away with HOPOs altogether rather than making them unworkable at seemingly random times).
I'm not a huge fan of the boss battles, either. The battle mode seems a excellent thought for balancing multiplayer Guitar Hero, because Guitar Hero 2 suffered much from the fact that an Expert player could hardly help beating anyone playing on Medium in the Face-off mode, at least not lacking putting down the guitar, which isn't exactly fun. But, the battle mode really has no place in the single-player career mode, where all I'm looking to do is play some songs.
It doesn't help that the boss battles are not very well executed. The final boss battle had me stuck for quite some time, simply because the battle power-ups that I was getting weren't very useful against the opponent. When I irrevocably got the right power-up, defeating him was trivially simple. That means the battle was far too needy on randomness, which isn't really fun in a game that's excellent precisely because it depends absolutely on skill.
Add on top of this the fact that, for no obvious reason, the songs that you play in the boss battles can't be accessed away from those battles. That means there's no way to just play these songs. You've always got to be worried about defeating an opponent who's messing up your skill to play. Along the same lines, certain songs are only unlockable by playing multiplayer mode. I wouldn't call that a excellent thought in any case, but it's especially harsh on the Wii translation, because there currently is no guitar unfilled for break buy, which means you must find someone else who owns both a Wii and Guitar Hero 3, and most people I know who have the game have it for PS2 or XBox 360.
The game is still lots of fun even with these flaws. There are some excellent new features to balance things out, such as the skill to play the game online (though again it seems that more often than not when I go looking for an online game, there aren't any unfilled). I reckon I like the Wii guitar controller better than the PS2 controllers for Guitar Hero 2, in part because they seem more responsive. A number of times when using the PS2 controller and strumming very rapidly while attempting to deploy Star Power, I have had the controller frustratingly not register my movement despite land the controller vertically. I haven't noticed such problems on the Wii.
As far as difficulty goes, if you played Guitar Hero 2 on Expert, then it won't take you long to get owing to Guitar Hero 3 on Expert, either. Some of the songs are still trying (and some will cramp your hand), but because the gameplay mechanics are the same (and that is a excellent thing), if you're excellent at Guitar Hero you're excellent at Guitar Hero. You won't have too much distress with the vast margin of the songs in the game.
All in all, if you liked Guitar Hero 2, you'll probably like Guitar Hero 3. If you didn't, why are you conception this? |
Rocks So Hard It May Hurt Itself!!

I've never played the previous games in this series but this game is addictive! The Wii remote is simple to tuck into the guitar and the tutorial is pretty simple. As a replacement for of strings you have a bar you push corresponding to how quick the notes go. I've never strummed guitar, my husband has. And I'm beating him at this game!
You work you're way up from a garage band, earning money along the way that you can spend in the games store for goodies like new outfits, real songs from around the world, and extra font.Your current playlist is excellent with songs every person knows even if their a poptart. You may even get questioned to do an encore! My one gripe is their aren't that many chick songs, at least not on the levels I've played.
If you can find a second guitar remote you can rock head to head, which I plot to do with the spouse. I'll need to find a pink faceplate though. The makers said they'd have alternate fronts, so here's hoping. The guitar/remote is about the size of a eukalalie but still manages to make you feel very boss and you'll suddenly find yourself moving with attitude to the rhythm.
Stop conception and go play one!!!

Really a 4.5 because two-player gameplay is tough to come by

I like the Wii translation of GH III. I like the PS2 translation, too! (I have both.) "Why?" you may be asking.
I like the Wii translation because of the cool, new, wireless guitar controller. It's so shiny and pure white and works well with no glitches in play no matter what direction I am pointing. I like the online function.
What I don't like is that it's tough (right now at least) to find a excellent online partner (or weirder) to play. I am the only person I know who has the Wii translation. Wii guitar controllers only come in the GH III bundle, and intelligence are that these solo controllers won't be unfilled until early 2008. (Are you kidding me???)
So I have to play co-op and battle mode with my PS2... which is fine, but that means I have to complete the levels twice on two different systems. I'm a GH nut, so I don't mind doing that...
All in all, I like the Wii translation. It's just so fresh and new with the new controller and the online play. But it's still unused fun (until we can buy a second controller and can download other songs online). |
Turn it up to 11

This game rocks. No doubt about it. Anyone who has played the previous games will already know this. But this game rocks extra hard on the Wii.
The controller fits nice and snug in the guitar. What is nice about this setup is the wiimote will vibrate or use the built in speaker all the time. Whenever you mess up and don't hit a note, that harsh sound isn't really loud on your speakers. And if you're like me you'll play this game with the volume way up on a nice system. So for the missed note "ching" noise to be only on the wiimote is very nice. Also, whenever you use the star power the wiimote vibrates. It's just a small extra to make this game fantastic.
The graphics are excellent, but who cares. This game is all about fun play style and the music! This game is so fun and addicting! The first night I had it I had a BBQ at my place and all loved it. The music is awe-inspiring for the most part. There are a few songs that I don't really care for, but the margin of the songs rock.
If you're having second thoughts about buying this, don't. Trust me, this game is really worth the $80 price tag. |
For me a spectacular introduction to the series

I'm someone who had never played Guitar Hero 1 or 2 before I bought Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii. I can't really equate it previous versions of the game, nor can I equate it to the other systems' versions of Guitar Hero 3. What I can do is give a viewpoint to what this game is like to someone just playing this series for the first time.
The sound is a huge part of what this game is about, and recognizably I'm discussion about the sound track in large part. Of the incredibly varied list of songs, over 70 in all, I loved most of them. There are a few songs in the bonus track listing that I don't even both to play because the music just isn't excellent, but overall still far more hits than misses. As a first time Guitar Hero player a huge thumbs up for the soundtrack, though there's surely room to increase in future versions.
Now on to the gameplay. There is surely a substatial culture curve for new players. Recognizably you start with simple mode, which isn't terrible as begininer song. Then on medium where three four chords are used, and hard where five are used. The do mode is very caring, and if you want to get excellent you'll have to spend a lot of time there. I haven't even gottent to expert and I've had the game for a few months. It's very much an encounter that's very fun and challenging, no matter what your skill level. The reins are perfectly responsive, obeviously vital for the harder difficulties.
In the end I can't get enough of this game. The Wii wireless guitar works fantastic, with the sound coming out of the Guitar and a rumble figure on star power (things apparently not unfilled in other versions of the game. It's powered by the Wiimote inside the guitar shell, but doesn't use array life as quick as you might dread. As a first time Guitar Hero player I have to give this my peak recomendation. Minor issues aside (not that impressive of visuals and some crappy songs) it's a fantastic encounter. |
