They've certainly hinted at some exclusive stuff.

How much? I'm on the fence right now; I could get it for PS2 sans controller for $50 (60?), or Wii but with a Wii guitar for $80 or so. Money's tight atm so I'm wondering if shelling over the extra $20/30 is worth it.

I have it right now. I work at a Movie Gallery, and sometimes we get games before their street dates. We got it for PS2 + 360 yesterday, and I rented it for PS2. I can tell it's pretty sweet, but I don't have the GH2 controller anymore so playing it with a dualshock is pretty ghey. A couple of things though, I played it some last night and it glitched on me twice. Once, the loading screen went all funky with the guy's tattoo (but still loaded), and it hung on the Shop screen and I had to reset. I don't know it that could be a problem with my PS2 or not. Like I said, I can't be an authority on how awesome it is because I can't play it with a guitar, but it looks to be everything that they said it's going to be.

October 26, 2007 - The rise of the music rhythm game has been meteoric, thanks in no small part to the success of the Guitar Hero franchise on PS2 and Xbox 360. Taking the plunge is a big investment, though, with expensive and bulky controllers creating a serious stopgap for potential buyers. This fall, two games are releasing that feature their own new guitar controllers, Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3. That puts a total of 3 guitar controllers on the market. IGN has now tried out the three of them in every situation possible. Here's the rundown.

The Guitar Hero 2 Xplorer controller works with everything. We tried it out with Rock Band, Guitar Hero 2 and Guitar Hero 3 on Xbox 360 with no issues whatsoever. The only drawback to this controller, aside from its wired status and button placement, is that you can not activate any of the extra guitar effects featured in Rock Band. For that, you'll need the Rock Band Stratocaster.

The Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul also works with everything and also can't be used to activate the Rock Band special effects. We tried it on Rock Band and played through roughly 10 songs without any hitches. Of note here is that the Guitar Hero 3 PS3 controller can't be used with Guitar Hero 2, even with the disc put into a PS3 that should make it backwards compatible.

The Rock Band guitar is another story. This controller, which features a number of extra fret board buttons and an effects switch, does not work with Guitar Hero 2 or 3. Cycling through the menus works just fine, but as soon as the game begins it all breaks down. Buttons don't register at all and the game is impossible to play. In addition to the extra buttons, it has one other advantage while playing Rock Band. During extended "jam" sessions of the game where you can press any buttons you want to boost up your score, you don't have to strum when using the Rock Band Strat. With the Guitar Hero 2 or 3 controllers, strumming is required.

You can't buy Rock Band without getting the guitar in the bundle this holiday season, though you can get Guitar Hero 3 without the wireless Les Paul. To that end, it seems that the only real decision people who want both games have to make is whether to get the Les Paul or stick with the Guitar Hero 2 Xplorer.

We haven't been able to test the PS3 Rock Band Stratocaster with Guitar Hero 2 or 3 just yet.

It should be noted that things may change before Rock Band is released as the game and, perhaps, the controller aren't finalized. We went to Harmonix and RedOctane/Activision for official word.

Activision had no comment at the time of this publishing, though promised one in the near future as it is still being put together. A Harmonix Spokesperson gave this statement to IGN:

"Harmonix develops and bases all of our games, guitars and other peripherals on open standards established by platform manufacturers such as Microsoft and Sony. Rock Band is no exception and supports an open controller standard. Guitar controllers are like any other standard game controllers--the controller sends a signal back to the game depending on the buttons you push. If a third party game controller is based on open standards, then it should work with Rock Band as well. If certain controllers do not work with Rock Band, questions about those controllers should be directed to the peripheral manufacturer. In addition, we welcome any 3rd party software that wishes to support Rock Band guitars. If a 3rd party guitar / music game does not support the Rock Band guitar controller, questions regarding this should be directed to the game manufacturer.

The official Rock Band guitars and peripherals are custom designed to help players to blur the line between playing a game and being in a band. Harmonix has modeled the guitar on a Fender Stratocaster and engineered the strum bar so it feels like you are playing a real guitar. We have ten fret buttons--5 on the top and 5 on the bottom---and have even built in a five-way effects switch that interacts with the game. Obviously the players have a choice, but we truly feel that once they play Rock Band with the Stratocaster, they will not want to use any other guitar controller."

We'll update this story when we receive official word from the other side of this affair.



Alright so I buy GH3 with the controller then get Rock Band separately. As planned months ago.

You can pop the face off which is pretty awesome...and replace it with different ones...Im waiting for a Zakk Wylde one...

The colored buttons feel alot different than the older controller...but then again the only reason I purchased this one is because all I had to pay was $30.

^^ the red ring error:?:

Personally, I blame Microsoft for rushing a console to the masses just to turn a quick buck. It's not to say it's a bad system, just that Microsoft could have most certainly taken the time to look at their product before mass shipping it, and checking to see if everything was manufactured and put together, and what not, that the errors wouldn't happen in such large quantities. That combined with a crappy console from Sony and a fun and innovative console from Nintendo have contributed to the Wii's lead this cycle.

Been playing this all morning and most of the songs are really fun to play. Dunno if I like it better than GH 2's setlist yet as I'm only at the slash battle, and havnt bought any bonus songs yet. (slash is a mother fucker btw)

Also, either the hard difficulty here is easier than gh 2, or frets on fire has made me a whole lot better at gh. The latter is entirely feasible, but what does everyone else think of the difficulty?

Yet to try multiplayer btw.

Yeah, you need to get your 360 "chipped". You can do it yourself without any soldering or buying anything specific for it, but it's way difficult.

Yeah, you need to burn the image with CloneCD onto a DVD+R DL. Verbatims work best for the 360.

So maybe the console itself in the design isn't great, but the controller is, and I guess what I really meant to say, although it wasn't well-put, is that the controller is really all that's innovative, but yet, because of that it does make the several good titles out on Wii fun to play. Would you not agree?

Guitar Hero 3 Review
Another jam fest you don't want to miss.
by Erik Brudvig (http://xbox360.ign.com/email.html) http://media.ign.com/ign/images/readmyblog.gif (http://blogs.ign.com/Erik-IGN/)

October 28, 2007 -<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="http://ads.ign.com/advertisers/DartRichMedia_1_03/DartRichMedia_1_03.js"></SCRIPT> Have you had enough Guitar Hero yet? The sales totaling into the millions and growing every day say you haven't. Activision agrees. In 2007 alone we've already seen Guitar Hero 2 release on Xbox 360 and Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the '80s on PS2, but that hasn't stopped the demand for more. Enter Guitar Hero 3, the first in the franchise made by development studio Neversoft after the former team, Harmonix, was snatched up by MTV Games. You can toss out any fears you might have had about a new developer ruining your favorite franchise right now. Guitar Hero 3 is another great reason to slip into some tight leather pants and rock out with your friends.

For music rhythm games, it often begins and ends with the soundtrack. Guitar Hero 3 has nothing to worry about. From top to bottom, this is easily the best lineup yet. Metallica, The Rolling Stones, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith and more are all in with master recordings no less. Activision even got the Sex Pistols to re-record Anarchy in the UK just for the game. The same goes for Living Colour's Cult of Personality. The songs that were performed by cover bands, as usual, don't live up to the originals but there are less of them than ever before. This time, when you start up a Guns n' Roses track (Welcome to the Jungle), it will be Axl Rose belting out the words to accompany your shredding. And that makes all the difference in the world.

Unlike Rocks the '80s, this is indeed a full sequel. The list of additions reads like a wishlist compiled from fans across the world. A full cooperative career has finally been added, complete with its own songs picked specifically for their great bass or rhythm guitar parts. A battle mode is in as well, inspired in part by the Ralph Maceo movie Crossroads, where players duel against each other by throwing attacks at each other in an attempt to make one another miss notes and fail out. We've had a great deal of fun with this new way to go head to head with a friend. It may sound a bit odd, but don't write it off.

For the first time, the franchise goes online with co-op, face-off, pro face-off and battle mode up for play with a friend or stranger around the world. The PS3 version doesn't have any option to invite a friend into a game, so if you go with that version you'll probably wind up playing with more strangers than anything else. Still, the online game runs smoothly on both PS3 and Xbox 360 and is a fantastic addition to the franchise. Even better, the PS3, 360 and Wii versions are all linked together online through a community site that compiles stats, manages tournaments and clans and even has a little metagame of its own. Guitar Hero has already become something of cultural phenomenon and this is only going to push it further along.

Perhaps the best addition is the new Les Paul wireless controller. This is by far the best guitar peripheral yet. It's so good, in fact, that it actually makes the game a great deal more enjoyable than when you play it with anything else. This is the guitar to own and since it works with Guitar Hero 2 on Xbox 360, it makes the purchase a no brainer for anybody that has even a passing interest in guitar rhythm games. The only downside to it is that it won't work with the PS2 versions of Guitar Hero 1 or 2 when you put them in your PS3.

http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/830/830837/guitar-hero-iii-legends-of-rock-20071028085356989.jpg

Then there are the licensed legends. Slash, of Guns n' Roses fame, is in the game as a playable character. So is Tom Morello and a few other imaginary avatars, but we'll say it again: You can play as Slash in Guitar Hero 3. If you don't think that's cool then there is something wrong with you.

Guitar Hero 3 was built from the ground up by Neversoft without access to any of the code from the first two games. The work done to ensure the game plays like its predecessors is admirable, but this title does play a tad different than what you're probably used to if you've been following the series closely. For starters, the window of time in which you can successfully hit a note has been extended by quite a bit. Guitar Hero experts may see this as blasphemy because of how much easier it makes the game, but this was actually a great move by Neversoft. The difficulty on the lower tier songs has been reduced, making the game much more accessible to new players. It also makes it so that intermediate players can feel like a rock star right from the get go, a feeling that really is the entire point of playing the game.

There isn't any need to worry that the game has been made too simple. In fact, the songs that come towards the end of the campaign are the most difficult we've played yet. Even with a bigger window to hit the notes, most will find themselves with a huge challenge. Songs like Metallica's One and Slayer's Raining Blood are ridiculously hard on the expert difficultly. If you can beat Dragonforce's Through Fire and Flames on expert than you have our utmost respect.

The challenge has been put in largely through a new approach to how the scrolling notes are laid out. Quick changes between two and three note chords are now the status quo. There's also a greater emphasis on strings of notes that can be played with hammer-ons and pull-offs, a technique that allows you to play notes without strumming. It's a bit different than what we're used to, but the notes are laid out well enough that nearly every song is fun to play.

http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/830/830837/guitar-hero-iii-legends-of-rock-20071028085356661.jpg

While the songs are a blast to play, most everything around the game could use some work. The character models have been given a new art direction and its one that we're not particularly fond of. Although a lot of motion capturing was done to get the signature moves of Slash and Bret Michaels, as well as to nail the singing animations, the way the band and crowd move just doesn't feel like rock and roll. All of the motions are stiff with the drummer as the most animatronic of them all.

The visual work on PS3 and 360 for Guitar Hero 3 is largely comparable, but not entirely impressive on either console. There's even a bit of slowdown that comes infrequently as star power is activated. It's a rare occurrence, but the fact that we saw it at all is inexcusable in a music rhythm game. The rest of the graphical gripes we may have would largely be nitpicking. It is a game about music, after all, not flashy visuals.

The standard campaign mode has only been slightly tweaked for Guitar Hero 3. The game still plays as a list of songs broken into tiers with a surprise encore at the end of each one. It's about time for an overhaul -- this presentation is feeling dated at this point in the series' life. The small addition comes in the form of three boss "fights" that make use of the new battle mode. Each one has a track recorded just for Guitar Hero 3 and they're all great fun. This is one feature we'd love to see fleshed out in the future.

Little vignettes have also been added between each tier. They're a decent addition and nice to watch, but they also highlight a facet of the game we could do without. One of the little scenes shows the band getting upset at accusations that they've sold out. That's fine, except that Activision clearly sold Guitar Hero out in every way it could. The story is rather hypocritical. Ads are fed into the game, an entire stage was sold to Pontiac, and there is even an Axe Body Spray guitar. Sponsorships are nothing new in the Guitar Hero franchise, but in the past they were kept strictly to music related brands. These are the sort of ads that don't bring anything to the game and really have no place. Not cool. Not cool at all.

http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/830/830837/guitar-hero-iii-legends-of-rock-20071028085356161.jpg

With all that has been added, there is still a lot missing. The fact that you can't play the co-op career online is a big oversight. Several songs can only be unlocked by playing this mode so you'll have to get a friend over with another guitar (or controller, blech) if you want them. The three boss battle tunes you play in the career mode also can't be tackled outside of that mode. How cool would it be to play The Devil Went Down to Georgia against a friend in a battle? Well, you can't so try not to think about it too much.

With online play in the mix, the lack of a character editor becomes much more noticeable when you continuously run into the same small set of avatars. The tag line to the game is Legends of Rock, yet there are only two legends in the game that you can play as -- Slash and Tom Morello. Bret Michaels is in the game too, but he hardly qualifies as a legend. As cool as it is being Slash, and it is very cool, it seems that the game could have drastically benefited from either licensing more rock icons or including a character editor so that the players could create their own legendary rockers.



Closing Comments
Guitar Hero 3 is a safe first entry into the franchise by Neversoft. The studio didn't rock the boat too much and stuck with the tried and true formula of previous Guitar Hero games in most situations. The soundtrack is fantastic and the new online additions are going to take the Guitar Hero community to the next level. It really is hard to argue with any facet of the gameplay. Everything outside of the game itself, though, is in need of an overhaul as the presentation is growing a bit stale. It's hard to ask that of a developer's first foray into an established franchise, but it's equally hard to look at the game and not see room for improvement.

Neversoft got it right where it counts, though, and the third entry into the Guitar Hero franchise is just as fun as ever.

Another Take
from Chris Roper (http://xbox360.ign.com/email.html)
You'll find little argument that Guitar Hero III has an outstanding soundtrack, perhaps the best of any music game to date (for anyone who doesn't live and breath J-Pop, at least). But a killer soundtrack doesn't guarantee a great game. Luckily, Neversoft stepped into Harmonix's shoes nicely and supplied accurate and, most importantly, fun note tabs for each of the songs. Pretty much every track in the game is a blast to play. The new boss battle stuff is a great idea and implemented pretty well, though we really do wish that you could play the tracks outside of the main Career mode, especially in a head-to-head battle with a friend or someone online.


For better or for worse though, outside of the new cinematics between tiers, the boss battles and the online play, there's not really a whole lot new here. We understand that this was Neversoft's first take at the franchise, but it's a pretty safe effort as the basic formula remains exactly the same. A different setup to the Career mode could have been cool, or perhaps the studio could have added the ability to jam along with a band (the cheat screen lets you play chords and such to enter songs, so this was already halfway in there).
Having said that, Guitar Hero III is fun as hell. I don't dig the character designs all that much and the animations for the other members of the band, especially the robotic drummer, could have been a lot better. But what's important is the main gameplay, and fortunately it's just as fun as ever. And, the new wireless Les Paul is flat-out awesome. Let's just hope that Neversoft tries out a few new things next time around.

So maybe the console itself in the design isn't great, but the controller is, and I guess what I really meant to say, although it wasn't well-put, is that the controller is really all that's innovative, but yet, because of that it does make the several good titles out on Wii fun to play. Would you not agree?

What's innovative about the wiimote? Come now.

Yeah, I've been loving it on LIVE. Playing someone who is on a harder difficulty is still somewhat imbalanced. If someone with skill goes on medium they can easily hit all the notes and beat someone on hard. However I've only encountered someone doing this once. Everyone else I played who picked medium was missing notes here and there, and I beat them.

Also, I really like battle mode. Don't know why so many people don't like it. Its just a different way to play. Although not being able to play the boss batlle songs outside of career is IMMENSELY gay.

<font color=goldenrod>Are the HOs/POs only easier with the new controller?</font> :(

Easier in game engine. But no worries, the transfers are harder than previous Guitar Hero games and three-note 'attacks' are normal on expert (all I've played was on Expert).

For some reason it took me like five tries to finish "My Name Is Jonas", something about the acoustic lines my fingers couldn't get around. But that does bring an interesting detail to light: Certain solo lines that you'd think would be completely HO/PO would have gaps in there you would have to 'restart' a HO or PO move. I'm thinking this was added to keep you on your toes, or maybe it does have 'real play' significance... I like the HO/PO after held down notes, though.

Slash is a mofo.

I'm off today and Tues. so if you can catch me send me an invite or something.

What's innovative about the wiimote? Come now.

:rofl: :lol: , are you fucking kidding me? You're gonna make it that easy? :lol:


The "pointer" inside the controller plus the sensor bar add up to way more motion-sensitive controls, not to mention it makes it way more intuitive.
It's also the first console to have a wireless remote that can be played 1-handed or with any number of attachments, including the nunchuck (sp.?) and VC controller
The button layout is also very much more ergonomic and comfortable as opposed to say, oh, I dunno, other Nintendo flops like the GameCube and N<SUP>64 </SUP>controllers (ESPECIALLY N<SUP>64 </SUP>controllers), like having a separate A and B button (B is the trigger for those who don't/haven't played a Wii), and you've got your tinier keys such as -, +, H (“Home”, which resets the Wii or takes you back to the “Wii Menu”), 1 and 2. And on the nunchuk you have your thumbstick, and your C and Z buttons at the front of the controller, plus the “Wiimote” features a speaker in the center.Now, I don’t know where you come from KK (actually I do), but where I’m from that’s innovation.

And another thing. Don’t any of you go talking about how the Nintendo gun for Duck Hunt and Hogan’s alley was innovative; it wasn’t. Get over it. It wasn't wireless, and god knows that the motion sensing sucked almost as bad as the ATARI® (or whatever company did it)’s wireless Nintendo controller. Wireless and IR (infrared) technology are right now, anyway, like mixing water and oil, you try and they won’t mix.

Rant over.

RoXer

(“Home”, which resets the Wii or takes you back to the “Wii Menu”)
If only the 360 and PS3 had that.

Kane Knight
10-29-2007, 05:17 PM
OMFG. If you think that's easy, Daminator, let me make it even easier:

Being ergonomic isn't innovation. In fact, it's par for the course.

Having a wireless remote as a controller is not innovative.

Having an IR sensor bar is not innovative.

What are we left with...Peripheral attachments, which instead of plugging into the console, you now plug into the Wiimote. Wow. Superficial changes such as where you plug things in are innovative? COME ON.

You're a fucking moron who overuses "innovative," Most likely because you heard Nintendo use it. And that's okay, because I love you anyway. But you did make it incredibly easy to refute. I eagerly await your arguments for the "innovation" of Sony's USB ports, and Microsoft's "innovative" proprietary Wireless integration. Wait, I know...Sega's innovation for add-ons that allow you to play different types of games!

Yeah, hardly see how using adding a sensor bar and making it wireless was that innovative. Sony's Guncons had great tracking. They were wired, but didn't have to use a stupid sensor bar. All they did was trade off one thing for another with the Wii-mote. It's not new technology - It's just very slightly streamlined technology. Streamlined =/= innovative.

Ya know what, I'm only dealing with this one point because you obviously mistake me for some kind of gaming newbie who doesn't know the Master System from the NES, amongst other things. You might not think that the Wii's controller is innovative and that's fine, but what you are doing, as far as destroying my entitlement to an opinion based on facts is not. You're taking the facts and stripping them away so you can get at my opinions easier which is that Nintendo has for once in it's history since the SNES days, made an actual decent, creative controller. I know that as the gaming industry progresses with the current technology that maybe certain people EXPECT stuff like hard drives, online services, usb ports and the like, but a lot of people were NOT obviously expecting Nintendo to come up with the controller they made for the Wii, even though it's not too hard to come across info that they may have wanted it to be the controller for the GameCube. If you want to go ahead and say that Nintendo doesn't make a good product then fine good for you. See if I give a fuck. Just because I play one system more than another doesn't make me any more of a "fanboy" of that system over the other current consoles, just as the same would apply to you.

So in summation how does this sound...we just agree to disagree on certain points, and let these people get back to talking about GHIII: Legends of Rock, since that is the Game the thread is about, not who's got a "better" system or any of that.

CASE...CLOSED. *SIGH*

I have this mental problem where certain lines are easy until they're required to get SP. You may have noticed this on the Santana joint where I was missing easy notes (then I turn around and nail triple transfers and solos). Glad to break you into Expert difficulty, and what a debut for you.

This game needs some kind of lobby, or atleast an option to replay a friend. That's Network Gaming 101 there.

Evil Vito
10-30-2007, 07:52 AM
<font color=goldenrod>Yeah I always miss the easiest notes when they carry star power.

Top example last year was Misirlou on Hard (honestly could never beat it on Expert). Those two sections that are fuckoff fast, I would fail unless I picked up the star power before it. I would strum fast as fuck and it still wasn't fast enough :mad:

You might not think that the Wii's controller is innovative and that's fine, but what you are doing, as far as destroying my entitlement to an opinion based on facts is not.

Except I'm not destroying your entitlement to an opinion, Alienoid.

...Oh, right, sorry. I'm just used to Alienoid being the one doing the "Stupid People Tricks" in my sig.

This isn't about your entitlement ot an opinion, it's about the poor foundation upon which you've created said opinion. That you mistake the two is either an attempt to obfuscate how shitty your argument is, or some poorly executed defense of your ideas because they're opinions.

Sorry, if you base an opinion on a foundation of stupid, it's going to be a stupid opinion. You're not being oppressed, you're being mocked for not putting real thought into this.

And by the way, if the Wiimote is innovative, so are USB ports and wirless integration and the other shit I mentioned. You may take it as an attempt to rob you of an opinion. We thinking people like to call it "logic." These are ideas that were once not on consoles, and now are, which appears to be the only real foundation upon which your stupid "innovation" comments come from.

And calling your opinion stupid should challenge you to come up with something less stupid, not more. Instead, you play the persecution card. Fuck. That's just stupid.

One final statement: Nowhere did I ever say Nintendo made a bad product. You're a fucking moron for coming up with that little gem. Your entire stupid argument seems to be based around youcrying that if I don't think it's innovative, I somehow hate the product. That's completely retarded, and yes, earmarks you as a stupid little "fanboy." If you can't make an argument with some level of emotional or intellectual distance, you're going to fail. Every time.

Yeah I have a major problem in that my left hand is really weak. Like I honestly think there is a medical issue, because no matter how hard I train my left hand, I can't move my middle, ring, or pinky fingers by themselves. The others always move with eachother. And I practiced piano for five years with absolutly nothing changing, so its not just an issue of needing more practice.

So because of this, its pretty much impossible for me to do fret work with my left hand outside of easy. So I learned to play lefty flip. Which works great until I get to songs like KoC and One on hard. Because I cant double strum that fast with my left. Thats why I screwed uo One with Kalyx. Got to that machine gun rythem part, and it ate me alive.

You also don't play as many notes in certain parts if you pay attention. I scoffed when people bragged about beating songs on hyperspeed. At least I am 99% sure you don't play as many notes.

Work that pinky finger. And as far as reaching the Orange note (I'm assuming you're having an issue with that), rest your index finger on the Red button most of the time. You'll find that the index finger 'jumping' between Red and Green is easier than giving jump duties to your pinky.

Tri Chords aside, isn't it simpler just to move your hand up and down the frets? No stretching required, except for tri chords that use both green and orange.

It's like playing guitar in first and second position. Sorta. You still have to decide when to shift your hand, but I find it much more comfortable to shift than to stretch.
