Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock

Okay guitar fans...it's time to tap into that inner desire to be a rock star. Have you ever dreamt of squeezing into a tight pair of leather pants and jamming out with your friends?  Well, now's your chance. Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock includes many of your favorite rock bands to jam to (see below for a complete list of songs and artists).

The game bundle comes with a new wireless Gibson Les Paul guitar that works with Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii systems.


Guitar Hero III:
Legends of Rock Bundle

When you play it on Xbox 360, the graphics and sounds are awesome.

Two of the most popular elements of gameplay are the bass battles and the online challenges, so you can compete with other guitar heros worldwide.

In case you don't already know, this is a music video game and the third full installment in the Guitar Hero series (the fourth title overall).

The game is published by Activision and RedOctane, with Neversoft as the developer for the Xbox 360, Playstation 2, Playstation 3 and Wii consoles.

Aspyer Media is the developer for the PC and Macintosh computer games.

Guitar Hero 3 is NOT just for kids. Or rather, it's for "kids" of all ages. It's a pretty easy game to pick up, but rather challenging to master. The more you play the better you get. Rock on!

Play Guitar Hero 3 on XBOX 360 

My Personal Favorite


Xbox 360 Pro Value Bundle

Microsoft's Xbox 360 Is one of the best consoles to own due to its exclusive and better selection of gaming titles. The games, played in high definition, can be played on the XBox Live service, connecting gamers worldwide with one another for battles.

The dashboard and interface are user-friendly for even the most novice gamer. Almost all of the original XBox games can be played on XBox 360, but not all of them are viable.

XBox 360 is known for its one-of-a-kind service online and massive library of gaming titles, and it remains one of the most popular choices for console buyers to date.

Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock Bundle 

Includes Removable Faceplates for Your Guitar!


Guitar Hero Faceplate -- Motley Crue -- Playstation 3 and Xbox 360
(Les Paul Controller)

You can buy the game by itself, but a bundle includes the wireless Gibson Les Paul guitar setup and is a better deal.

It allows you to change out the face plates and button colors to customize your guitar. For instance, if you're a Motley Crue fan, you can have a Crue faceplate for your guitar!

They also have faceplates for the guitar that feature Smashing Pumpkins, Sex Pistols, Kiss, Fall Out Boy, Alice Cooper...

...As well as many specialty designs like stars and stripes, skulls, sunbursts, or simple maplewood.

Play Guitar Hero 3 on Nintendo Wii 


Wii

The Nintendo Wii version of Guitar Hero 3 is just as fun as the others. Some say the graphics aren't as rich as they are on other console systems.

It has a Wii remote control that gets tucked into the guitar and instead of strings, you push on the bar on the guitar. A tutorial guides you in how to play. The playlist for the Wii Guitar Hero 3 game is massive - and you'll recognize almost every single one.

Most people who have played Guitar Hero 3 on both PS2 and Wii prefer the Wii version, mainly because the guitar is more responsive to their actions. Wii doesn't have the same issues that the PS2 version had, such as not registering movements quickly.

Play Guitar Hero 3 on PS3 


PlayStation 3
(60GB)


Sony's Playstation 3 lets you play Guitar Hero 3 with a bigger hard drive. You can play your PS2 games on it, too.

Aside from playing Guitar Hero 3 and other PlaySation games on it, you can also play those new Blu-ray high definition movies that are phasing out all traditional DVDs.

Oddly enough, your Guitar Hero 3 gaming console can double as a digital photo displayer.
