On easier difficulties, players are only required to tap a few buttons, but on the highest difficulty, advanced guitar skills are basically required.
Just like in previous Guitar Hero titles, players use a guitar peripheral with five fret buttons, pressing colored notes in time with the current song. These extra scenes provide some great motivation to keep jamming on, as you skyrocket to fantastical levels of fame. In order to progress to the next level of your career, you successfully impress the audience at your concerts by performing well in various songs.Īlong the way, you'll compete in guitar-battles against other legendary musicians, including Slash from Guns N' Roses and Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine! In the Co-op Career mode, you and your buddy play as two friends who link up with a drummer and singer, film a music video, and even go on to play a gig in Japan. In the main Career mode, Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock follows your custom character trying to win fame and fortune as a member of a small rock band. If you think you have what it takes to become a true rock legend, give Guitar Hero 3 a try! Main Game Features For those who've mastered the first two Guitar Hero titles, Legends of Rock provides an ample amount of challenge, putting your fingers to the test. Guitar Hero 3 contains a variety of new modes as well, including a cooperative career as well as online multiplayer. Starting off as a lowly garage band playing gigs around town, you and your friends quickly rise to fame as you shred on your guitar. Like the previous two Guitar Hero titles and the Rock Band franchise, Legends of Rock puts the player in the shoes of an aspiring guitarist on their rise to glory.
Completely new to the franchise is online play, now you can face off against others online (provided you are playing the XBox 360 version as the PS3 and Wii online modes rarely work).Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock is a rock 'n roll rhythm game and the third game in the Guitar Hero franchise. DLC is only available on the XBox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game.
For those that played the Playstation 2 version of GH2, the third installment adds downloadable content (DLC) in the form of additional songs, most of which are piss-poor songs/bands which no one wants to play and all of which are horribly overpriced (about $2.50 per song or $6.50 for pack of three songs (song packs and individual songs are separate and a song that is available in a song pack is not available individually and vise versa)). It also adds a new Co-op career mode with songs that cannot be unlocked in any other mode, this means that if you own the PS3 or Wii version of the game you must buy another copy of the game to get another controller so you can play through co-op career in order to play these songs. It should also be mentioned that the final battle against Lou (the devil) is basically impossible even on easier difficulties without play it multiple times and hoping that Lou gets the less deadly powerups. It also adds battles with famous guitarists like " Tom Morello" and "Slash," these battles are essetially glorified versus mode except that the AI controlled character never makes mistakes unless you use a power up.
GH3 features a soundtrack full of artists befitting of it's subtitle "Legends of Rock." Artists like " Die Toten Hosen," "Hé roes del Silencio," and " Eric Johnson." GH3 also attempts to pull the player more into the story of the game through animated cutscenes. Unlike the previous games, which were developed by Harmonix, Guitar Hero III (henceforth GH3) was developed mainly by Activision in an attempt to ride on the success of the previous Guitar Hero games. A) Third numbered installment in the Guitar Hero franchise (fourth including Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80's).
