GHIII, the third installment in the Guitar Hero Series still reigns at the top even 4 months later! :)
User Rating: 9 | Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock WII
The amazing game concept known as Guitar Hero has finally come out on a Nintendo system, and it is a perfect fit for the Wii. The music is the best selection yet - focusing on the good old classics and features many songs such as "Rock You Like A Hurricane", "Reigning Blood", "Black Magic Woman", and many international classics that are unlockable as well. All you have to do is match up the coloured buttons with the coloured notes you see on the on-screen fretboard and strum. The gameplay is excellent - easy for beginners to pick up and still quite entertaining for the veteran players. The addition of guitar battles too versus players like Slash from Guns N' Roses, and Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine in career mode was also a great addition to the game. It's a fun change to be able to play against a computerized character and make them fail the song. This feature has also been made available in the Multiplayer function. The addition of Co-Op Career Mode has also been quite a challenge too. Working together with a friend to master a song takes work. With updated graphics as well, this game is a must have for the Wii console. The only negative is a technical error made in the production of the disks. The sound quality was produced in Mono, meaning that at this point in technology, it sounds really poor. Activision is replacing the affected disks however, so there isn't anything to worry about. Still, I recommend getting this game if you don't already own it. Even if you already own the first or second Guitar Hero, this game is so advanced in the series that it is definately worth picking up. And since the wii version specifically was almost impossible to find during the 2007 holiday season - that definately proves the game's worth.
