Customer Rating: Summary: WooHoo!! Comment: Good times.
Real fun.
Get it. A lot of the artists aren't rock legends but who gives a turkey. Customer Rating: Summary: tbuckeye Comment: game is good. dont buy the gift wrap unless you want brown paper wrapped gifts! Customer Rating: Summary: I hate this game. Comment: Okay... I finally broke down and got this game since Amazon had the bundle down to $50. I have avoided this game because of the cult-like following it seems to have of kids playing it. I'm 26 years old...which means I probably shouldn't be playing it.
Why do I hate it? This game is freaking addictive! I understand why it has a cult. I started fooling around with it and four hours later I realized I had wasted four hours of my life...and I didn't want to stop even then!
I recognize just about all of the songs and that adds to the enjoyment I guess. Good game...far too addictive! :) Customer Rating: Summary: bad mechanics, bad game Comment: this particular version of guitar hero suffers from extremely bad mechanical problems. please note that this is only specific to GH3 on the PS3. I have played GH3 on the wii and it is fine. I have also played every other GH game (including GH4 on the PS3) and this combination is the only problem. When I first purchased the game, the game was almost unplayable. There was one calibration for lag, and it didnt work. I could not play the game. even easy sections that just required slow strumming would miss notes. Then a fix was made for this lag problem, which somewhat fixed it. however, i could still not play songs like i could with previous guitar hero songs. here are the problems with this bundle even after the "fix":
-there is still a calibration issue with both audio and video lag
-even when calibrated, you might have to re-calibrate each time you turn on your ps3
-the guitar is no good. i dont like the strumming, or the buttons. i bought a nyko wireless guitar from amazon and it is 500 times better.
-the menus take way too long to advance, several seconds after you hit a button
-the songs are way harder than before, but is this because of the calibration issue?
-the guitar is too quiet in many songs, and requires much volume adjustment to 'feel' like you are actually playing the song
-the sound is not right...certain sections are way loud or only on one channel. when you miss only one note you might not hear the next 5 seconds of song. if you dont hold down a long note to the very end, it will also put a gap in the audio. some guitar sections within songs are too different sounding and much louder or quieter.
-even when i calibrate with the fix, and use my new nyko guitar, the songs are not very leinient with your 'window' of hitting a note. these are very tough songs.
-the tracklist is the worst yet.
luckily, there is a much better game for the PS3...its called guitar hero 4 (world tour) and if you use a nyko guitar, ALL of the above complaints are resolved. i think they just threw GH3 for the PS3 together as quickly as possible and didnt test it well enough to find all the frustrating problems that make this particular bundle a waste of money and time. Customer Rating: Summary: Good! Comment: I would just say is good, because i bought the bundle and guess what, the guitar doesnt work at all, so i have to buy a new guitar. I guess theres not a lot of people out there with the same problem...maybe
