Guitar Hero For Xbox Review
from: ConsumerEvidence.comI have to say, I didn’t think it could get much better after the release of GH2, but Guitar Hero 3 for Xbox just blew me away. The soundtracks continue to improve and this one is far and away the best of the series yet. It is great to see some of the tracks as recorded by the original artists too. I was halfway expecting to see some recent covers, but they dug deep here and have lots of great originals.
Being able to play the game online was also a great plus after the last 2 additions as you can finally flaunt your skills against different competitors instead of kicking your kid brother’s butt all time.
The first time I played Guitar Hero, it was actually on a Playstation 2 system, after playing the same game on Xbox, I literally immediately went out to buy an Xbox system in anticipation of Guiter Hero 3 for Xbox being released. I have several other titles for the game, but this is far and away my favorite.
One of the things I was a little disappointed with in the second release was the ease in mastering the game. Guitar Hero 3 for Xbox does not suffer from that with a much higher level of difficulty that will challenge even the best of players and keep you interested in the game for quite a long time.
A great feature of Guitar Hero 3 for Xbox is an even greater emphasis on shredding. Playing the riffs is great, but we all want our chance to shine in the spotlight. That is actually the feature that got me hooked on the series in the first place and one quick trip through this game had me smiling like a child on Halloween night.
I also like the fact that they have made some of the techniques such as hammering on and pulling off a little easier to do. It is a great advantage, because some of the songs on the expert level are fast and furious and this little bit of simplicity is almost an apology from the game makers for putting a little pain into the guitar playing.
All in all, a great game that does not lose the focus of the original game that made this series so popular. I like the fact that a beginner can pick it fairly quickly and get hammering and the hard core player will also find it quite challenging. If you go back as an expert player now and play one of the earlier versions of Guitar Hero for Xbox, you can rip right through the game in almost a single session. You will not have that luxury with Guitar Hero 3 for Xbox, you better dig and get ready to shred, because it is the only way you are going to beat this game!
