Guitar hero III for the wii is a must for any music fan that owns a wii. Hands down one of the most addicting games ever
Well that all changed when guitar hero III legends of rock came out, i moved away from idiotvil and bought the wii version of the game and have not put it down since. The video store here just happen to finally receive a new shipment the day i decided to go check out what new games they had, after the whole Christmas rush thing it was pretty hard to find anything. So i bought it because it seemed fun, and i really liked the track list since just about every major gaming site posted the track list when it came out every other day.
Aside from the kinda wacky ps2ish graphics, this game is very smooth and very fun. I do not really give a darn that it does not have freaking 720P high definition graphics or download able content (since most of the guitar hero download able content sucks compaired to rockbands DLC,). The game play is very smooth and very accurate, i have had no problems with any kind of game play problems in the last 2 weeks i have owned the game(only 2 weeks but ive been playing it damn near everyday).
The guitar is pretty cool, stick the wii mote in it and your ready to get nasty on some plastic frets and a strum bar. You can also just push a button to activate star power instead of tilting the guitar like an idiot and risk losing your groove. I like the white guitar alot, it looks clean as fuggg.
This guitar hero is from what i hear more difficult then the previous 2 games. Im not sure since i have yet to play the others but from my expirence it is pretty difficult. Espcially on the harder ones like hard and expert. The raised difficulty is a plus in my opinion. I mean if you have a game that is too easy, then your already good at it, if its too hard then obviously you need to just get better and improve your playing skills.
The packaging is very well done, it felt cool opening the box up and finding all of the neat little stuff it comes with (a strap, stickers, instruction book). I actually kept the box and all of its original contents. Why? I dont know, im just a weird-o like that, its not so much obsessive, its just me being weird to where i like to keep stuff like that. I like the box very much, the art is very well done and its a nice big box you can put up on display on your wall or some wacky caca.
I have yet to play multi player(or online) but a friend of mine is going to get the wii version soon so ill get to experience that when the time comes.
Over all this is an awesome game, if your a fan of the series or just want something new for your wii, its an awesome and very good choice. 89.99 which totals out to be about 97 dollars with tax is kind of expensive, but for the experience and fun it brings i think its a good buy.
