A third outing for the series, and thrice as fun!

first off guitar hero 3 is the biggest of all guitar hero games by far and that brings some good and bad elements into the mix. first off the fact that it is bigger means more songs and with a selection of over 70 tracks you're bound to get some awesome tunes in there...and you do, songs like "lay down" by Priestess, "paint it black" by the rolling stones and my favorite "missisppi queen" by mountain. these songs are are really good fun to play and pretty difficult on the later levels but you still want to play them. on the other hand the fact that there is so many songs means there is gonna be some stinkers and there definatley is songs like "Kool thing" by sonic youth and "miss murder" by AFI are truly appuling songs....i mean the game is called legends of ROCK so why have immense bands like iron maiden and ZZ top lumped in with this inane drivel.

the game itself is as you'd expect it to be, its looks fantastic, crisp graphic and vibrant colours light up the screen when you really get going. the character models have all recieved a rather large boost since the last games and some just look completley different alltogether... mostly "judy nails" and "johnny napalm"....other charcters such as "axel steel" and "casey lynch" look much better than they did in the previous games. the venues themselves havent changed that much but the singer of the band is a big improvment...that mouth is awesome...

the difficulty level has been ramped up like crazy with expert mode containing a number of overwhelming solos and relentless riffs but hey! thats why its expert......all in all i would say that this is the best one of the series and hopefully and further games will improve on its formula!

rock on, amigos
