I was a bit worried about this version due to the reviews of sluggish performance, but the game runs very smoothly on my system, which is right at the recommended requirements. I'm running at 1680x1050 with no problems. Gameplay is excellent, and the songlist is very good. I am enjoying the career mode, though the battle sequences are kind of stupid. Difficulty is definitely increased from GHII (which I have played on a friend's PS2). About the only real complaint I have is that the installer on the CD was a hidden file, so it took me a few minutes to realize I needed to show hidden files to get at the setup file, since it didn't autoplay on my machine.
Other than that, it's an addictive game with a songlist that's fun to listen to, and smooth, nice graphics. I'm sure my wife will be fed up with it shortly, as I will no doubt be immersed from time to time.
