Guitar Hero III is the sequel to the highly sold Guitar Hero II. Funny thing is that this one is developed by Neversoft, the people who brought you Tony Hawk. While this one might not be by Harmonix, Neversoft totally nails the trick. Guitar Hero III will make you feel like that you are playing a Harmonix game.
One problem with Guitar Hero II was, that the playlist wasn't as strong as the first game. The songs did indeed get boring after a while. So did Guitar Hero III fix the problem? Sort of. The playlist in GH III is much better than II's but they do get less fun to play.
There are many new things GH III has that II doesn't. One gripe people had about II was that you couldn't play Co-op Career mode. Well now GH III has it. This makes the game fun to play with your friends. There's also new characters in the game as well as the old ones. And for the first time ever, online.
Online play was one big thing announced for GH III. It was interesting at first, but I lost interest fast. The online mode is great and all, but it was very hard for me to find a match. Then when you find one, you fight one of the greatest GH players and lose horribly. Still it's a awesome mode added for GH fans and it runs smooth.
The gameplay is the same from the other GH games, but they added Boss Battles to somewhat change the gameplay. Throughout career mode, you will fight guitarists, such as Slash. The gameplay still is the same, but they add these little traps for the other player. Think of Mario Kart, where you get a red shell and mess up the other player. Well it's kind of like that. If you strum all the notes right, you will get a power that you can throw at the opponent. Like a string cutter that will make one of your opponent's guitar strings useless and he/she will have to jam on that button to make it work. Boss battles are interesting at first, but they are nothing special.
Guitar Hero III is still a good game, but if you can't handle hard mode and will not have time to be good at it, I suggest you just goto a friends house and play it. But if you 5 stared almost every song on expert and you are hungry for more Guitar Hero, then this is the game for you.
Final Score: 8.5
