Guitar Hero 3 - No longer will a cable shatter your inner rock God !
Actually, 'tearing' through career mode might not be the right word. Guitar Hero 3 is considerably tougher than its predecessors. Veterans will most likely dive straight into hard mode soon to discover it's trickier than it seems. The opening few sets are comfortable enough, with a handful of great encores and some tremendously well-selected tunes, but when you get down to the later tracks, the heavier, the dirtier and more dangerous tunes, some may struggle. Certainly, Slayer's Raining Blood and Metallica's One contain Solos so tough your fingers, new muscles will have to develop to keep up.
Nevertheless, career mode is tough, but necessary in order to unlock all the songs. It's the new boss battles that could have you throwing your guitars through TV screens. The fast fingers and clever use of power ups will make your day. Watch out, the shaggy haired rock god will throw lefty flips and double notes at you...
This is a game about expression and creativity, not repeated play and frustration. The battles are the first tarnish on Guitar Heroe's impeccable record. Don't feel too disillusioned though, Guitar Hero III is a Superb videogame mixing modern indi rock with heavy metal classics, passing blues and Latino lounge rock on the way.
