I'm not really a hardcore rock fan, so I never picked up the series before. However, the franchise has been expanding the music selection for each version out. During the Christmas week I finally gave in and and got me Guitar Hero III for my Wii.
Although this is my first Guitar Hero game, it doesn't mean that I have not tried it before. I have tried the first game of the series, but my friend who owned it was most likely rocking to a lot of the music I was not most familiar with, thus didn't spark my interest a bit.
Ok so I started to play the game... surprisingly, I was familiar with most of the tracks in this version comprised by a mix of current and classic hits. A couple of songs later, I find myself tapping my foot and nodding my head with the beat... I am enjoying this game! I was afraid that I would not like most of the songs, but I did... and I still do.
The visual layout is very similar to the previous releases. I don't even feel like I am playing a Wii game, since I am not moving the wii-mote like other games would require. However, the wii-mote is required for the guitar to work, it fits perfectly to a slot which can be accessed behind the guitar. This version also utilizes the wii-mote's rumble feature and Wii-mote speaker that gets triggered by wrong notes or when you access the starpower.
The gameplay offers easy, medium, hard, and expert modes. I've only personally finished the easy mode, and I'm halfway through the medium gameplay. There is a virtual store, where you can purchase guitars, outfits, unlockable characters, and guitar designs. Co-op career modes is also available, if you have a friend with a second guitar for the Wii, which I don't think is available independently just yet.
The ability to play online with your friends or random players is available in this version of the series. Online experience plays great in the matches I played. The only difference with the Wii version compared to the others is that there is no downloadable online content capability yet. Activision is diligently working on this issue and promises to have this feature available early this year. Honestly, I don't understand why downloading-content-online feature is not working.
I also found out that the Wii version is the only one with the mono sound problem, which Activision is willingly sending replacement discs as soon as they are ready.
Overall, Guitar Hero III - Legends of Rock is a truly enjoyable and addicting game which can be enjoyed by everyone in the family, beginners and hardcore fans alike. This game makes you feel like a rockstar!
