Guitar hero 3, an amazing game, great songs, great fun for everyone! (serious review, covering all points of the
Okay so i got guitar hero 3 about 1 and a bit months ago, so im pretty seasoned in it, and i know a good deal about it now also.
first impressions, well at the start i found it just fun to pick up and play do slow ride on easy, and feel good abotu it and i did, even though i prolly got 3 star but you still get that satifaction from just playing the game.
As i went on, the songlist got very good indeed, including stricken from disturbed and Holiday in cambodia from the dead kennedys! I loved the tracklist in this game, they are all remastered tracks too so that means you feel like your actually playing a real song on your gibson guitar.
The animation has a bit to be desired though, the singer is just okay he seems to hold his own during the song (while the camera is on him/her)
the drummer is err, could be better klunky animation at times but i guess it can be excused. Your guitarist is where the fun animation is in, different guitarists have different moves, star power, and 4X multiplier moves. all fun to look at and make the game seem that bit better.
The online, hrm im not impressed with this i found the search option a pain, as is searches for about 20 seconds, then brings you up with a list of competitors, though half the time it will pop you up with a message "Could not join session" and then makes you search again, its time consuming.
The new battle mode is awkward...
As you all may know its 2 players competing to try and make the other player fail, by using battle power abilities. Now what annoys me is that some power ups are nearly harmless, while others should be renamed "Lol your done now"
What i mean is, powerups such as lefty flip and double notes will kill you instantly (on expert anyway) lefty flip confusing you horribly, while Double notes will not allow you to pull off hammer ons in crucial places. so basically battle takes no extar skill, just the skill to us powerups, and a little timing i guess
However Pro face off and face off are both cool modes, nothing wrong with them
Is that everything? i think so...oh wait no 2P quickplay? that sux indeed
guitar hero 3 9.5/10
