Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock - ...If only I could customize the song list November 30, 2007

I bought Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock as a birthday gift for my 11 years-old son but I have passed more time stuck to it than himself. However we have spend great times Rockin' together. If only I could customize the song list It would be perfect.
Compre Guitar Hero III Leyendas del Rock como regalo de cumpleanos para my hijo de 11 anos, pero he pasado yo mas tiempo pegado a el que mi propio hijo. Sin embargo hemos pasado estupendos momentos Rockeando juntos. Si solo pudiera personalizar la lista de canciones seria perfecto.

My teenage sons are elated with Guitar Hero for PS3. They have been waiting for months for the release and their anticipation was not a disappointment.
 Great game - Need to sell unbundled controllers January 4, 2008

I've found GHIII to be pretty addictive. Overall it's a great game with some pretty cool songs (and a few not so good ones - but still fun).
A couple frustrating features that I've noticed:
- The dongle and the controller do not connect easily. I follow the directions in the white insert of the manual and the connection is still hit or miss. On a couple occasions the controller connected at start-up and just as I was about to begin playing a song, I lost the connection. This is pretty frustrating and probably worth discussing with Activision.
- Not necessarily a negative but I've found the skill levels to be quite a bit more challenging than older versions. I conquered the Easy level in GHIII and moved up to Medium. The difference between the two levels seems to be a lot wider gap than I would expect. Probably will just take more practice.
- You cannot buy a controller for purchase w/o the game at this time. I would like to buy one more controller so my wife and I can play together but so far... no luck!
Fun rating is a 5 but these negatives bring the overall rating down to 3.
A few flaws but ultimately a decent game. January 28, 2008

Being a guitar player, I dismissed the first two games, thinking that it was just silly. Then, I played GH3 at a friend's house and saw how much fun it was. So, I decided to scoop it up soon after getting my PS3.
What I like:
The graphics are stellar. Of course though, they should be. It's for the PS3, after all. They also seem to have captured the essence of guitar playing, without actually playing guitar. The strummer goes up and down, allowing for realistic alternate "picking". The notes on the screen are also seemingly consistent with where you would place your fingers on a real fretboard. Of course, there are only 5 buttons but they manage to still make it challenging enough for some serious gamers.
It was nice to hear some of the bands I listen to, like Metallica, Slayer, Slipknot, Dragonforce, Killswitch Engage and Dead Kennedys. You can also customize the look of your character, as well as your on-screen guitar.
What I didn't like:
While the song list contained some real gems, there will be songs that you either never heard of or don't particularly care for and you will have to play some of them in career mode. It would have been nice to be able to customize the set list. Instead of having to play the songs they give you, they could have given you some more options, like remove this song from the setlist and replace it with that one. That might have been a lot of effort for the people that made the game but I figure that with all the downloadable songs availabe, they could just keep all of those songs in the game automatically and make it possible to choose from them.
It seems the boss battles aren't drawing much popularity from the reviewers here and I have to go with the majority. The problem is, it's not really about skill, it's about luck. You can expect to hit the restart button many times while doing these pointless noodle contests. You can't practice the battles, only the regular songs. Also, even if you are getting good at learning the note succession, that doesn't matter because you have to attack your opponent and try and make him fail. They seem to have missed the point of guitar battles. It's supposed to be about who is more skilled, not who can make your guitar mess up. On a side note, the Tom Morello battle is just plain stupid. He's not even really playing guitar, he's just making sound effects. I know that's his style and all but they could have picked a better, more "guitar hero" sounding player.
Overall, I'm not all that disappointed in this purchase. It's fun to play and it provides an alternative to the traditional games on most consoles. It's just that with the new generation of consoles fresh on the market, I expected it to be leaps and bounds above anything the PS2 ever had to offer.
EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! November 1, 2007
M. Mesina (Nor * Cal)
I dont really know what to say on this review, but the simple fact that this game is crazy fun and addicting. The songs are great and i can't wait to download more.
this is definately a must buy for any music fanatic or musician.
I've never played guitar hero 1 and 2, so this is a review based on guitar hero 3 with no comparisons to 1 and 2.
