Guitar Hero 3

Re: Guitar Hero 3

Hmm....I have a choice to make. I did what I had to do to earn a free game at www.yourfree360game.com (saw the thread on the site over at SlickDeals, and it apparently is legit), and I'm gonna pick between Guitar Hero III, The Orange Box (Half Life), Ace Combat 6, PGR 4, Tony Hawk Proving Ground, or something else. I'm not sure how much joy I could get outta GHIII cause my fingers don't move fast enough for me to get out of Medium. And once I did what I had to do on medium on GHII, I kinda lost interest in the game.

Re: Guitar Hero 3

I agree, why do they insist on making the playlists so hardcore? Maybe its because im not a fan of metal, and i like more alternative stuff, but i would welcome a lighter playlist.

To be honest, I think that if Harmonix had this same track list, they would not have been as hardcore. Neversoft has been hardcore since the beginning of the Tony Hawk series. I still don't like the move to Neversoft.

Re: Guitar Hero 3

bjf, I used that site to get Crackdown. It's legit. Just don't repeat any offers if you do it again (most won't allow you to, anyway). Personally, I'd get Half Life 2 off the list for replay value. PGR 4 and Tony Hawk are vanity picks since it's "free", but are still good choices. Ace Combat lost me six years ago, so..

Doesn't seem hardcore to me. Has a good mix for everybody: Queens of the Stone Age, Bloc Party, Pearl Jam, Eric Johnson, Rolling Stones, Santana, Sex Pistols, Pat Benatar, etc.

As always, some songs are just fun to play along with, and others are guitar (or fiddle, lol) oriented.

I think Neversoft did a good job.

Re: Guitar Hero 3

Sometimes I feel like they should just have some softer songs in there. I mean, they do work. Or... at least, less "metal" or "hardcore".

Look at GH 1:

- Stellar
- More Than A Feeling (my personal favorite)
- Sharp Dressed Man
- Killer Queen
- I Wa...


Hell, it would be easier for me to name the hardcore songs instead of the non hardcore songs.



And GH 2:

- Girlfriend
- Jessica
- Rock This Town
- Surrender
- Message In a Bottle


And just too many more.

IMO, this list can be broadened to a few lighter things than that. I know most people don't want Nickelback or Creed, but they can work as first tier songs. Here are my customs, for instance (with the exception of Poison, which I made slight, unnoticable changes to just so I could hear the real version):

I'm just showing you how broad this game really could be. If only they put one or two of these kinds of songs in here, even Panama, I would be happier.




Now, I have to be honest... I have yet to read the entire list for Guitar Hero III, and even what I have read, there are some songs that, by the title and the band name, I haven't heard before. But to me, it seems like the more that my sisters (especially my little sister) like the game, the more I will enjoy it too. I play co-op with them when I go home, and they are anticipating GH 3 and want to step up from Medium to Hard, and I want them to reach Expert. But for them, it starts with the soundtrack.

Now I see how much I actually don't like how they made Devil Went Down to Georgia. Though I was talking about the guitar part the whole time, I can't anymore. The voice really does kill it.


Hopefully they like this game. Hopefully I like this game.

Re: Guitar Hero 3

I think GH2 had a pretty good tracklist, dabbling into hard rock, rockabilly, southern rock, and surf rock.

Re: Guitar Hero 3

Will the wireless guitar work with Guitar Hero II for the 360?

EDIT: Found my answer.

Re: Guitar Hero 3

Either way guys there seems to be enough good songs to make me play this game nonstop so it should be fun. Im getting it saturday night at Best Buy.

Re: Guitar Hero 3

I paid for my guitar hero in full at gamestop, but I lost the receipt, they still got me in the computer right?

Yes. I never keep the receipts.

This guy's Youtube page has a lot of the songs from GH3.

The boss battle for Devil Went Down to Georgia looks impossible.

I only looked at the note chart for My Name Is Jonas so far, and something worries me. The notes seem to be ahead of the song by just that much, if that makes sense. Like... it seems like we have to strum a split-second earlier than the song in order for it to look like we're not late on the notes. Granted, the game probably is forgiving enough to let you get the note even if you're cuing it with the music anyway, but it looks very annoying already, and completely different from GH II.

Hopefully it's just the transition from his game to YouTube and the video is slightly delayed.

Is My Curse on the tracklist, or is it just some custom track?

Re: Guitar Hero 3

My only complaint right now is that the boss battles at least from the Youtube videos look insanely stupid. The CPU doesn't appear to miss a note, and the power-up things appear to be completely random and simply intended to frustrate the hell out of a player. What's the point?

Can't wait to play some of these songs, though.

Sunday? Ugh....I'm preording online then - No point in checking for a midnight release around here...
