Customer Rating: Summary: This Game ROCKS Comment: This game is fantastic its the best guitar hero and is fun and full of fantastic tracks Customer Rating: Summary: Totally Addictive - Rock On!!! Comment: Just bought this for our 13 yr old son for Xmas. Having never played Guitar Hero before, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this is. SO easy in fact, it can be played by the little 'uns, mums and dads, even your old granny and grandpa.
Four solid hours of this and the whole family is completely hooked.
It has to be by far the best game for the 360. Great graphics, excellent gameplay, and all the tracks rock.
To sum up, there's only one phrase to describe this game:-
"The most fun you can have with your clothes on!"
I have a feeling it's going to be a very long night!! Customer Rating: Summary: Beware... Comment: My kids have thoroughly enjoyed this game - all it's billed to be BUT beware. As noted by other reviewers there is a design fault with the guitar. We bought the game in March from Amazon and after the guitar stopped working properly and a lot of ringing round we eventually were directed to Activision whose response is...buy a new one. The guarantee is only 90 days - is this mentioned anywhere when you pay £65 for the game? This is a known fault so why are the manufacturers not playing fair and replacing the faulty items??
Enjoy the game but you have been warned!
A quick update and a thank you to Amazon for once again superb customer service. Copied my complaint to them and they have agreed to replace the faulty game - can't say fairer than that! Customer Rating: Summary: Only had it a few days - totally addicted! Comment: I know the new version is coming out soon, but after playing this at a friend's house I couldn't wait til November! Its awesome fun! You really feel like a rock god when you're jamming along to a song you know and love (see - Bulls On Parade). I'm rubbish, I flounder on anything above easy, but I can definitely see myself improving already. Having played Rock Band as well, I would recommend Guitar Hero over that, unless you have a group of buddies round regularly and neighbours who don't mind the racket! I live in a one bed flat with my girlfriend, so I wear my headphones and rock out! Another distinction worth making is that the guitar for this is wireless and feels great, whereas the Rock Band guitar is wired and feels clunky and unresponsive.
Get it!! Customer Rating: Summary: Really good fun. Almost 5 stars... Comment: Bought a week ago and am really enjoying this. I've played Rock Band but none of the Guitar Hero series before.
There are some real advantages over Rock Band.
The controller generally feels better. The strummer has a positive click action, which is a little annoying noise-wise but I find better for playing. Also it's wireless. Yay! No more stupid trailing leads.
It has a slick, fast menuing system and has a real polished feel to the whole game.
It is a fair price, unlike when Rock Band was released. Maybe that's coming down now though.
However. It's more game-like than Rock Band. Yes, I know they are both games, and great fun too, but Rock Band has a more realistic "I'm playing in a band" feel compared to Guitar Hero's "I'm playing in a game".
Also Guitar Hero 3 is slightly more difficult than Rock Band; there's no-one to bail you out if you mess up, and I found the fretting harder to get into than Rock Band. That seems to fall into line with some reviews.
It's close to 5 stars, and I'm extra happy since I'll be able to use the controller on Rock Band nights round my mate's house too!
